Hey sweetie, we all have those moments. When life has you feeling like you're no longer behind the wheel, rather sitting in the back, watching the car spin and spiral along, speeding faster and faster, and when things get like this, you just have to take one thing at a time. I don't mean one day at a time or even one generalized item (family, school, etc.); I mean one task. Do the dishes, a load of laundry, study for a class or tackle an assignment. And once that is done, take on another task. Soon you'll feel better, bit by bit. I'm not saying this will be an immediate thing, but sometimes when we feel as if we control nothing in our lives, we must take control over those things which we can. And don't forget that talking thing out can help. Even if you can't pay for a therapist, there a people here who can listen! Friends (*raises hand*), therapists and counselors at school, family if need be or just general forums like this! You have to have faith that the universe is not going to let things bottom-out completely, and that even if they do, that's the worst that can happen, and then things can only get better. I know this hasn't been the most eloquent of responses, but I hope it helps! Just remember, you are NEVER alone, as long as you have friends, family, and loved ones who care. You just have to have a bit more faith in yourself and in the universe! In the words of my dad, "The sun's always going to set at night and rise in the morning, and until it doesn't, you have no need to worry!"

To close with a prayer (since you're a fan of that):

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

I love you, girl! And if you ever need a venting fest or just someone to go grab some Starbucks or lunch or something with, you know where to find me!
