kiffy so sorry you feel so discouraged.life isn't bad or good, it just is. i hope this upcoming new year brings good change for you. i try to find the little joys when i am down for a long time. it helps me to be grateful even if it's a small thing.
if facebook is getting you down just don't go on it for a while. negativity breeds negativity. i avoid the news most times because of it. and who's to say that those ppl on facebook are really happy? just a thought but i hope that helps.. some ppl are happy on the surface but may not truly be happy from within. that is something to strive for-happy within. it takes a lot of mental energy when we are so down so be kind to yourself. try not to expect too much and then the little things that lift your spirits will have more meaning. hope this helps. it helps me to cope by comparing myself to myself.
