I hear you. But this is one of those two sided lessons (I tell myself when I'm depressed). When life doesn't give you lemons, you get spiritual scurvy. You have no strength and no stability if you're never challenged or forced to do the difficult.

Unfortunately right now some people get all the lemons, and some never have to deal with any. That makes for a class of people who are pretty sick and a class who are really tired of living on lemonade.

Not buying it. I've had a chronic pain condition for over 30 years. I'm not one iota tougher for living with it. I'm just exhausted.

Sorry. I hope things improve for you. This is something I take comfort in, because the alternative is getting hopeless and wanting to kill myself. So telling myself this is a way to stay alive. Take care of yourself.

It's a fine line to walk, but I have, deep down, eternal hope. Use what works for you. Good luck, my friend.
