I'm 29 years old I've been through a lot of bad things my life including being raped, addiction, loosing my dog and an abusive childhood about 2 years ago I started thinking positively and it did improve my life and I actually started feeling happy and content for the first time in my life then I met my boyfriend and was even more happy. Now he has left me after a year and no way will ever come back for months I've been trying to get him back and made a fool of myself so now I need to say enough is enough and try and move on. My ex was very controlling so I lost contact with my friends although I didn't have many anyway. I just feel lost now and everyday I wake up and feel sad I've been trying but I can't seem to think positively or be happy please can anyone offer me any advice I'd really appreciate it
How can I think positively when everything in my life has gone wrong?

You have life!!!!! That's enough to be positive about. look.. Life seems like a roller coaster at times however it always finds the flat and steady pace where you feel content and grounded. Your in a force to change mode right now which means your heart is still hanging onto what your mind still wants which is your ex so once you can convince your mind to let your heart change you will feel empowered with new positive thoughts and a feeling of pride. Strange but it's true. When bad things happen throughout our lives our hearts don't usually win its our minds that have to tell the heart to forgive forget and move on. Life is all about what goes on in your own head so be happy be positive flip your ex the bird go out with a friend or even a family member have a glass of wine and toast to letting go and being happy!! Good luck.
The times we are living in is not easy,but one promise we have from God is if we listen to him and be obedient to him he will give us the love,peace and happiness we need to go on in this system. Think of the sacrifice God made for us at John 3:16,"For God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son,so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life."Imagine the pain God felt when his son were sacrifice! Is not that greatest sacrifice worth living our lives in a way pleasing to God,showing him our deep appreciation for such a precious gift ? The beauty of being obedient to God is that it benefits us not him. By being obedient to God's laws,we live a happy rewarding life now and everlasting life in the very near future. Remember my dear only you can make you happy first. The best happiness comes from the best satisfaction of knowing you have done your best to achieve it.
Like you said you have tried many things in life and you still have not receive the satisfy life you will like.,why not try it God's way now? For God himself is giving you a personal invitation at John 4:8," Draw close to God and he will draw close to you." Believe me it's the best relationship you could ever form,he never lets you down and he never leaves you,you could call on him at any time and he comes to your rescue. Will you like to have a friend like that ? I have built a relationship with him and I will not trade it for anything or anyone, it's the best friendship ever.Before coming to know him I was in a similar situation to you,wondering what is really life and why am I so unhappy? Until I was introduce to God's word and the friendship that changed my life in a positive way. Besides this friend shows you what is true love and the benefits of having his friend ship. Believe me you will never feel alone or unhappy he gives you a joy that is beyond compare. Please,accept this invitation and experience for your self the beauty of life and the value of a happy rewarding friendship that never fails.
