Honey, I don't know what to do anymore. Last summer I was overcome by a feeling of hopelessness and despair. Antidepressants don't help. The anxiety is only getting worse.
And it all started when my husband called me black sheep. In a furious and insane state, he cursed both me and the children three times. In a sober mind and bright memory.
The next day, when I woke up in the morning, I felt depressing. His body ached like a bulldozer had run over it. I drove the terrible words from myself.
But they, like leeches, stuck to my mind. For no reason, for no reason, to spew something that even the most inveterate carrion would not dare to do.

I bring to your attention real story(life story) of a 2nd grade student about a dangerous situation with strangers. Let the story be your reminder.
Much more in the world good people. And I'm not going to get mad. But, unfortunately, excessive gullibility can play a cruel joke with you.
And here it’s not even about the fact that all strangers are troublemakers. You just need to distance yourself from those who offer you something for free.
I don't mean to be over-the-top, but a dangerous situation can be seen in the staring eyes of a stranger. As if they are trying to hypnotize you and force you to follow orders.

I am ashamed to talk about it, but with a higher education I work as an ordinary driver. At the meatpacking plant. Why did I just go to college! If only I knew!
Red diploma with honors. But as it turned out, the specialty "Surveyor" is now not held in high esteem. And the salary, in the case of employment, is beggarly, penny.
I'm sure many of you are facing the same problem. Without work experience, you will not be hired for a prestigious position. But where, excuse me, does he come from, if I just got up from the institute's bench!
But nobody cares. Give us a workbook. Everything is clear with you, comrade. We will call you tomorrow. So I hung around for three years. And let my life story be the most useful lesson for you.

When everything goes well and as planned, we are happy. But the streak of luck is not always the case. On the life path there are sorrows, and disappointments, and losses. If you can see the positive aspects even in adversity, you are lucky. Few have this quality, but it must be developed in character, because fate usually thanks those who endure its blows, continue to move forward and look to the future with optimism.

Unfortunately, this topic is familiar to me firsthand. I myself once fell into a trap called "love for a married man." I am glad that I managed to get out of this triangle without other people's losses and without other people's shed tears. The tears were mine. And wasted time.
Maybe my story will serve as a lesson for someone, because sometimes they learn not only from their own mistakes, but also draw conclusions from the mistakes of others.

You can meet your destiny anywhere. Sometimes a situation that initially seemed tragic turns out happily. So, for example, it happened with the heroine of our story. She flew away from her hometown to heal emotional wounds, and she did not even have in her thoughts to build a new relationship. But fate decreed otherwise. Cupid's arrow touched the girl's heart in an unexpected place and not under the most pleasant circumstances.

Love is an all-consuming feeling. This is the most important thing worth living on Earth for. Love gives strength that a person sometimes does not even know about. If the feeling is sincere, then it is able to overcome any obstacles so that two people go their way hand in hand. Unfortunately, it often happens that people refuse love when they encounter an obstacle that seems insurmountable to them. And then they regret it for the rest of the day. If you have met your love, do not be afraid of anything. A lot can be sacrificed for her.

There is always a time and place for love. This feeling does not matter where a man and a woman met, whether they are from the same city or different. If Cupid fired his arrow, resistance is useless. If you want to become happy, start a family, then don't be afraid of anything, take risks and fight for your feelings. Not ready for change? Then, years later, do not lament that you never knew what true love is and missed your chance to experience it. Fortunately, the hero of our story listened to the signs of the Universe, and now he is very happy.

Our life is full of accidents. Sometimes it takes such unexpected turns that we can only be amazed. Sometimes these are pleasant events, sometimes not so much, and often we are to blame for them ourselves. They didn’t think in time, didn’t talk to friends, family, colleagues, got scared ... Of course, you can’t predict much in life, but it’s wrong to completely relieve yourself of responsibility. Especially if it concerns your children. Their experience is your experience. In many ways, their habits and attitudes are your habits and attitudes. As they say in England, bring up not children, but yourself, they will still take an example from you.

Therefore, you need to have patience and faith, and wait. Wait as long as necessary. Believe with all your heart and don't despair. Your despair destroys the creative forces of the universe, and faith strengthens them.
My name is Alena, I'm 22 years old. I want to tell you my story.
Before, I always thought that happiness is when you have a lot of money, a job you love, you constantly fulfill your desires, but it turns out that happiness is something else that I did not notice. My story begins when I graduated Medical College and went to work in a medical organization. I just finished studying new job, new friends, new stage in life, but it turned out that the beginning will begin at another moment. After working for about six months, I began to notice that my health was deteriorating. I told my older sister about this, and she sent me for examination. My older sister raised me from the age of 12 after my mother died of cancer. My father loaded himself with work and left for another city, just sent us money. Now I understand that I demanded the impossible from my sister, something that cannot be replaced and made up for - this maternal love. Only 6 years later I realized that my mother had died. Apparently it was a shock. I couldn't accept it. I have the most wonderful, beautiful, kind sister in the world. Thank God for giving it to me. During the examination, I suspected something was wrong, the doctors delayed the next appointment for 40 minutes. No matter what thoughts I had in my head. When a doctor approached me and began to tell me that I needed an expensive operation and urgent treatment, he said something about 2-3 years, to be honest, I remember everything vaguely. Expensive operation where to get this money? That is, in order to live, we need to pay. When I left the office, I told my sister that I just needed a rest. I left work. I began to sit at home and think about everything. At first I felt anger, rage. I could not understand in any way, for what, why, where justice is. Then I cried, for so long. Then came calm. I began to see the world differently. How? When I get up in the morning, I look at the sky, it is so beautiful, as if for the first time I see it, when it rains, I see raindrops as if in slow motion. It feels like God himself stopped time so that I can see and remember this beautiful world. I asked for forgiveness from everyone whom I could offend at least something, I don’t know why, but it became easier for me. Once I could not hold back my tears and burst into tears in front of my sister. I had to tell her everything. Her eyes became so sad. And the question arose of what to do if we do not have such huge money. I even thought about going to work, just so that I would have enough for a ticket to the sea, to see the sea, the waves, a beautiful sunset and sunrise, and leave without pain. I began to understand that happiness is when you have people whom you love and who love you, the least you need is love. Once walking around the city, I came across a lottery stall. So small that more than two people can't fit in there. I bought lottery tickets, and before leaving, the woman who sold the lottery tickets grabbed my hand and said: you think luck has turned its back on you, but it's not. And she let go. Of course, when I got home, I forgot about this woman, but the most amazing thing was that the tickets I bought won a huge amount. I have never seen such money. Naturally, I had an operation abroad, I bought myself a house in Russia, and my sister and dad abroad, and I still saw the sea. It's not to be forgotten. When you are there, you feel as if you are on another planet, it is beyond words, it must be seen. And now, now I am healthy, rich, I understand what happiness is. It turns out that fate has been preparing a huge gift for me and my family all this time. This is an incredible gift of fate. I wrote this story because I want to tell you that it is love, it is those who love us and whom we love, that make us happy.
