When you focus on the negative, you will see only the negative. I've been there and it sure is a horrible place to be. To get myself out of it, I made a decision to have a happy life. I took responsibility for things that had happened to me. When it comes down to it, European38, you are choosing to be unhappy just now.
I then took steps to actively change the way I thought and my general perspective on life. I did things for others, I spent time in the nature admiring it, I looked at people and found positive things about them. When a negative thought comes, I remind myself I want to be happy. I also did a lot of forgiving of life, myself and others. And, I stopped feeling sorry for myself.
I read a LOA book, found this site and then read Tolle. All this took approx. one year and I am so grateful for that year because, today, I can really say I feel happy to be me. And, for the first time in my life, I understand that I am the creator of my life. I get to choose how I react to situations and knowing this is empowering. No one really has the power of hurting me, only I do.
Love
