All of this does help. I didn't mean to sound like my problems are more or worse than anyone else's - not at all.

However, I just can't seem to cope with them anymore or bounce back - it's not happening like it used to. I find myself in this gloom and doom mood, and think the worst is going to happen no matter what.

I do have bad luck. I've heard of a DVD called "The Promise". Has anyone watched it or read the book? I'm ready to try anything at this point. It's to the point where my friend's expect my bad luck. That's sad. Even when I'm being positive and not looking for it.

The only time I seem to bounce back is if I get good news. I need to learn to bounce back from the bad news too.
