Hey every one I know many of you are in tough times right now and I believe we need a thread like this.

To those of you who feel at the end of your rope I hope we can have many wonderful suggestions for you to keep holding on.

Also how do you not lose who you you are. We all could use a helping hand at times.

here is something Abigail van Buren suggested-

Just for Today
By Dear Abby
JUST FOR TODAY: I will live through this day only. I will not brood about
yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far reaching goals or try to
overcome all of my problems at once. I know I can do something for 24 hours that
would overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
JUST FOR TODAY: I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. If
my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshine.
JUST FOR TODAY: I will accept what is. I will face reality. I will correct those
things that I can correct, and accept those I cannot.
JUST FOR TODAY: I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will be kind
and courteous to those that cross my path and not speak ill of others. I will improve
my appearance, speak softly, and not interrupt when someone else is talking.
Just for today I will refrain from improving anybody but myself.
JUST FOR TODAY: I will do something positive to improve my health. If I am a
smoker, I’ll quit. If I am overweight, I will eat healthfully-if only for today. And not
only that, I will get off the couch and take a brisk walk, even if it’s only around the
block.
JUST FOR TODAY: I will gather the courage to do what is right and take
responsibility for my own actions.

Just for today I'll procrastinate.
