Do you feel that obstacles in your life are challenges that will make you stronger?

Or do you simply feel that you are a pawn in the hands of a sadistic and bored higher being who is fucking with you on purpose?

Yep, I'm having a unbelievably crappy week.

i think shit that happens ultimately makes a person stronger... but it *fucking* sucks ass while it's happening to you.

yeah it's brute at the time, but how many times have you looked back at a shitty time or whatever and said "It sucked then, but I'm better off because of that now"

See, I'm not seeing that at all this week.

I'm more wishing that I had a wonderful, boring, lame, dramaless, white bread suburbia life.

it is difficult to see it that way, but you have to

These obstacles that you speak of will definitely make you stronger. Just relax and try to take things one day at a time, or one obstacle at a time. Once I learned to relax in my life, the obstacles did not seem so overwhelming anymore. I used to stress about everything: school, relationships, friends, money, EVERYTHING.
Relax for a bit and see where that takes you.

Just wait. One day you will be old and wishing just the opposite.

And yes, I am a big believer in learning from your mistakes as well as prospering in the face of adversity.
