Realize that every person who has ever lived has been through some form of difficult time and that you are no different from everyone else. Learn from past mistakes and take comfort in small victories, then push forward with the knowledge that you are not alone.

Tough question when everything seems to be coming at you at once, but outside of prayer and trying to stay focused on taking one thing at a time and resorting to "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference" (St. Francis of Assisi) and actually putting those words into action as advice is great unless you are the person experiencing the issues. No one can fully understand what another is dealing with unless you are walking in their shoes. My best advice is not to give advice unless you are in a postion to give it. I am uplifted by people who have actually experienced the same things and can offer advice based on that and by those who sincerely care and you know are there for you. That somehow makes one feel a bit more postive in handling certain issues.

This life is but a test and God only gives us a load that we can bear. If we have a big load (problems) then God believes we are strong and can cope. We learn from our experiences. Just remember there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Everything happens for a reason and if we didn't have bad or unhappy times we wouldn't be able to appreciate the good times. Anyway if things really are so bad then they can only get better. At some time the problem is solved and it usually leads to something better. From a bad experience something good will follow. InshaAllah. (if God wills).

Be way to impressed with yourself, or just say to yourself when things are hard "I live for this S**T"

There is something I'm gaining or learning from this. The people I feel the most comfotable with are people who have really suffered or been humbled in some way. I have seen this to be true in myself as well. Hard times are what deepen our character, and if we can be open and honest instead of feeling threatened and defensive, then we grow as people who are more understanding and less judgmental. These are the qualities the world needs most of all.

Learn about the struggles of others. It doesn't matter how hard my life is (and it's been hard), I can always find others whose struggles are worse than mine.

I think of all the ways it could be worse and tell myself every thing happens for a reason and maybe good will come out of it. Then I think up a goal that if I accomplish it, it would make me happy and I focus on that. I give myself a pat on the back for any baby step I make in that direction.

It's not something that's easy to do, but there are some ways you can help yourself during difficult times. First, be optimistic. If you begin to look at everything with optimism you'll see beauty and joy all around you. An optimistic attitude is a positive attitude, and there's no reason for you to get stuck on the things that get you down. Another thing you can do is surround yourself with love. Whether it's people you love, places you love, or activities you love every little bit helps. If these things are always around you they will always be there to cheer you up and keep you positive. These are things you can do any time, but they especially help during difficult times. If you agree with me, I encourage you to check out the shared experience blog I'm starting at talkwithben.com and share with me.
