I have found, when experiencing extremely challenging situations, the best approach is to work on building as positive a scenario as you can. This is done by focusing on the positives and minimize thinking of the negatives. Anything that builds on one's hope is a good thing.

I try to take each day at a time, and stay in the "now". None of us know what's ahead for us...good or bad. I try to live each day at a time and get the most out of it as I can. I feel thankful each day that my name doesn't appear in the obits.

We all have flaws and make mistakes. I have found that guilt can be a lot of wasted energy. The old saying, "Forgiveness is divine", I think also applies to oneself.

Many of my physical problems are related to my age, and are quite common for my age group.

I think most problems relate to the unprecedented rate at which change is happening. Financial matters and technology are two of the biggest culprits.

I think it's important to listen to your body, and if it tells you something is not right, you should seek help in a timely manner.

It's nice to see so many offering to help the OP.
