Well then get back up and work harder. In the end you will succeed. Hope I helped :)

Same thing happened to me. It's truly depressing. After living an upper middle class lifestyle that I worked hard for, I'm in poverty. Struggling with depression.I know the comment about work harder was meant well. But I haven't been able to even find a job after months of looking, interviewing, networking. I'm either overqualified or not qualified enough. So, even though I'm middle aged, I've decided I'm going to have to go back to school, and live with relatives until I get on my feet.This after having a a five bedroom home on almost an acre, and rental property to boot. Tough pill to swallow...Just know you're not alone

I can also relate. But at least you have your relatives to give you some stability. In my case, I can hardly afford the apartment I have, my landlord is a crazy nut who wants to kick me out for silly reasons, and after that I don't know where I'll go. In the meantime, I have depression and can't focus on my school work. This is compounded by the issues that my landlord keeps raising. (They don't like our plants on the veranda, they don't like our bikes, they want us to pay more rent, even though we always pay on time... they are always at the property, poking around... it's aweful.)

At least you have some peace in your life. I feel as though my peace has been ripped away from beneath my feet. All the while I am standing here in shock and disappointment, wondering why I made the decisions I did, and why someone or something couldn't stop me from my madness. It's devastating, especially because I know deep down inside that I could have prevented this huge loss. But I didn't. I instigated it. And now I'm paying dearly.

All I want is my peace once again. All of you who have peace in your life, be thankful for it. Hold on to it. Peace is a precious gift. If you have peace, you have a great life. Don't tamper with it. Be thankful. Think about me and these other poor chaps.

Sure you may not have everything materially. But if you have love and peace in your life, then believe me: You have a great life.

Really? You think coming from nothing makes it easier? What a douche, honestly. There are children who will never even have the opportunity to have a fraction of what you had, despite their best efforts and good minds. Your life only sucks because you focus on what you had... The most important things in life aren't things. And your wife probably left you because you've allowed yourself to become caught up in what's gone rather than trying to fix it. And don't say you tried, because chances are that you probably didn't try very hard. Get a life

Hang in there, be happy that you have family who really care about you and are willing to help. My family doesn't give a damn what happens to me. Once I graduated from college, they told me that I am going to have to sleep in a cardboard box and live on the side of the road before I ever come back to them for help. Basically, I was on my own for the rest of my life.

I look around and see other people getting all types of support and help from their families in these tough economic times. It just appalls me that my own family can be so cruel and petty. If you have a place to stay, food in your belly, and the love and support of family, then you are doing alright.

Crap happens, but thank god you have family to fall back on. Unfortunately, the folks like myself got dealt the wrong family and have to suffer the rest of our lives for it. Best of luck to you in these tough times.
