A female age 41-50, anonymous writes:

What would you think,if your whole life got attacked by really bad fate?

My life history is so tragic, nobody would eve believe it.

My brother killed himself years ago, than my sister got into heroin and overdosed. Than my boyfriend died in a car accident. Than my father got diagnosed with cancer, and have few month left. Than my mother couldn't handle it anymore and got into alcohol, yet she never drunk before. Than I lost my job , due to taking care of all this things, and I can't pay my university tuition, so goodbye education. We also lost our house, because none of my parents could hold their jobs any longer. They both professionals. My mother thinks we are cursed, yet she is a smart woman, I don't blame her. What would you think, if all this would happen to you within 5 years?

And it is obvious , you didn't do this to yourself? Please help. Thank you

A female reader, chocoholicforever United States +, writes (21 July 2011):

I'm so sorry to hear of your losses. You've experienced a lot of loss in a very short time frame, and none of it was of your own doing. Right now you're still reeling from the losses and the hardships but you still need to soldier on because of the financial collapse that followed. I second the suggestion to see a counselor (whether a religious counselor, if you're religious, or a therapist) to sort through your emotions and how to deal with them. Furthermore you may benefit from medication to help you cope with this rough period in your life, for that you should talk with a therapist and get a referral to a doctor.

VSAddict agony auntI'm sorry for your losses. People deal with tragedies in different ways. I think what's best for you is to see a counselor. You've been through too much to go on in life without talking to someone who could possibly help you. Don't feel cursed. We all have hardships in our lives that we're forced to deal with/overcome. So talk to a counselor. If you can't afford one, then just talk to your college counselor and maybe he/she can help you move forward and progress. You won't always feel this way. Things will get better for you. Hope I helped.

MikeEa1 agony auntyou are having a tough ride and you're only young. I myself have been having it tough these past few years. I try to build up a little portfolio of positive things in my life to offset the bad. It's not your fault. It's nobody's fault, these things are random. Some counselling might help. You and your family have to try and rebuild the good bits to carry on. Drug and alcohol addictions should be treated, once they become entrenched they are diffult to deal with.
