Not everyone's life is awful. I think the difference is how it is looked at. Bad things happen all of the time but you can look at all the bad things and be miserable and tell yourself nothing good will happen...and then it probably won't. Or bad things happen, take each thing as it comes. It isn't the end of the world, I can hamdle it. I have saved a bit aside just in case of an emergency, good now I don't need to panic. Just two different ways to look at things.
Going through the divorce it did feel as if everything was going wrong at once. As I got to feeling better and finding a better state of mind, I realize it is just life. Things happen and it is my job(oh joy!) to handle them. It the Grand Scheme of things: my life is better is many ways but I still have some things to deal with...mostly just stuff like everyone else.
You had something awful happen to you. I would give anything to be able to take that away. But if you let those thoughts/fears/memories stop you, they win. The bad guys will have taken away your life because they are controlling how you live it with fear. Don't let them win hon. You are worth so much more than that.
