Wow, so for those of you who know James and I are taking a break, and I'm not even sure we'll ever go out again. I'm not going into details, for James' sake.. I just thought you all should know. SO, on top of that, I got into an accident yesterday. I was turning around, and the guy behind me thought I was pulling over so punched the gas to go around me and hit me in my right fender. My car is sitting at a Body Shop right now. I need a new drivers door and fender, and hopefully that's it. I'll find out tomorrow when my insurance company does an estimate. Could life possibly get any worse??????

That's a lot to have to digest in a short period of time.  Sorry to hear that things are going so badly right now.  But you know, things certainly CAN get worse.  When I get angry or sad, I try to remember things that made me feel that way in the past and how I always got over it.  Then I realize what futile feelings anger and sadness are in the first place.  I mean, why bother with those feelings when they always go away anyway, and they do nothing to actually help you or protect you.

While it may be hard to believe when you are in the middle of a personal crisis, you choose your feelings - they are not forced upon you by external events.  Choose to feel good!

This is absolutely correct! And it is so hard to remember, when you're in crisis mode. One things that always helps is doing something physical. Run, bike, go to the gym, take a 3 mile walk. I'm always amazed at how much better I feel after that.

Things will get better. Just have to keep looking on the bright side. You got into an accident and walked away. That's always a plus. The car can be fixed...so don't worry to much about it. And relationships can suck sometimes (believe me I know) but if it was meant to be you'll get back on track. If not the world is full of other fish in the sea. (it's funny how you can find yourself using very bad cliches when attempting to cheer something up.)

Things can always be much worse.

Your car will be fine, you'll be fine.  Just find a positive, productive outlet for your time and energy.

Trust me, you're far too young to think about what could be worse.
