5. Hey ... Promise ... It Will Get Better

Your post caused me to finally register on this site. Listen. Believe me -- things will get better. My family and I recently went through a series of traumatic experiences ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
One of my son's actually texted us at one point in particular following another piece of bad news, " Damn. The Universe is kicking the T Family's ass!!" We had major health, financial, legal, and even theft calamities, not to mention a failed roof, hit us in a period of about 6 months immediately after I'd retired. Having always struggled with anxiety to some extent, my anxiety gene went into overdrive in what was undoubtedly the most daunting period of my life. BUT I DID COME THROUGH IT, and my family came through it. It is 100% behind us now. You just have to keep on believing in yourself and believing that things WILL GET BETTER -- and they will. Praying a lot to the "higher power" helped immensely, as did reminding myself that we were all still alive and that things just hadn't gone as planned. See this period as a challenge and you will make it through it. At some point, the bad things stop assailing you and a couple of good things will actually happen to brighten your days. ... So just hang in there, okay?
