Hi prakashraj

I think everyone on here has been through tough times one way or the other so we can empathise.

You’re clearly overwhelmed by all your emotions but the important thing to realise here is that you do have a choice in how to respond to your situation.

I don’t know if you’ve heard of Viktor Frankl but he was a psychiatrist who survived the concentration camps. While he was in Auschwitz, suffering the most unimaginable degradation, he came to realise that no matter what we go through in life, nothing can take away our freedom to choose our attitude to what we face. In our case, we can choose to take responsibility for our own way forward out of our misfortune.

I don’t know if this helps, but what I did when life seemed to be going out of control was to get a pen and paper and write down a list of what I could do to change or help my situation. I knew no one could help me unless I helped myself. You’re very brave, you’ve taken the first step to moving forward. Now take the next one.

Good luck

Pete
