Been hell here too. And I still trying to push thru. Reading the bible is fine, but sitting and try thinking what is good in your life and giving thanks to our Good Lord does help. Tomorrow is another day that can bring sunshine into your life.

Let everything happen to you
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is final

2020 has definitely been a shite show of a year. You just need to keep praying and be strong for your kids because as men that is what we do. Find a hobby that makes you and your kids happy and do that to ease the thinking and stuff going on in yalls head. I know at times things seem rough and almost unbearable but God always has a plan. I will say a prayer for you and your family! God Bless bud and stay strong!!

"Make your bed everyday"

In regards to the bible, I'd read the book of Job, specifically

Try to keep things in perspective too. Life is hard right now compared to what you're used to, but you aren't in a chinese prison camp or starving in North Korea because of where you were born

This. 2020 has been a locomotive of suffering for me mentally and emotionally, and I’m feeling stronger than ever.

Talk to family and friends. It helps to put things into some place or perspective.

If you are feeling more oppressed/depressed consult a doctor. Medications can help.

Don't be too withdrawn to ask for help, even with things like filing for unemployment. State system sucks royally.

Stay in communication with the family, friends, the world, even to drop a line here. There are people who do care about you and that is a reason to deal with it the best you can.

Many of us, or perhaps most of us, have been through rough divorces, sudden loss, or several events simultaneously or consecutively. It can be difficult, but remind yourself that these are usual for most everyone, and if others can come out the other end of the tunnel, then you will too. Some things seem to happen for a unknown reason that will become apparent in time.

Hang in there, R11...COVID has definitely brought everyone down...exercise is a great stress reliever...get yourself a bike or start jogging/walking...organize your house or do some yard work to take your mind off things...make a good music playlist and drive around town jamming to it.

Hope things get better for you...

I’m not going to give you some BS generic “hang in there” advice because life is hard and has inevitable sufferings. Everyone will have those suffering bills due eventually. Your situation sucks because a lot of them came at the same time. Sorry for your losses.

I always liked the Michael Chricton and Dean Koontz books growing up. The dude that wrote angels and demons also has a couple of books not related to those that are good.

Sounds like you need a good laugh. Check out Ronnie Chieng on Netflix.

This is going to sound mean, but I would try focusing on things that are going right in your life, not everything bad.

You’re breathing, fed, single, have access to Internet, don’t have Covid, kids are healthy, parents are alive I guess?, had a high paying job (likely a field with some demand).

I’ve had rough years, but never lose perspective on what you do have. In your case, i would meet some women and have a good time.

Try to focus your energy on your kids. When you look back, focus only on what you could have done better. Try to learn from your mistakes and not on things that are out of your control. Life gets better and always remember, every day is a gift.
