A lot of my posts recently have focused on trying to stay positive and move toward a goal, but what do you do when it seems like life is just out to get you?  You don't have to be living in terrible circumstances to feel like things just aren't working out.  Many people in our society struggle with depression specifically because they had dreams and aspirations that just didn't work out and now they are stuck in a situation they never wanted to be in.  Some of them are even very wealthy, and they still feel trapped by this feeling.  Many people will say that this is some sort of privilege and to look at people who have it much worse than us and we should be grateful for what we have, but those words never seem to make us feel any better.
