it is totally okay to feel pessimistic, but sometimes i find it can help to take a deep breath and find one good thing about whatever may be bothering you. or you can just find something to do that you know you enjoy and it will help to knock away those pessimistic feelings :). i hope you feel better :).

I try to realize that whatever will happen to me, no matter if I think it is pleasurable or good or advantageous or not, is God's will. Whatever happens is in the greater plan, it is exactly what is supposed to happen, and there is nothing I can do to change it--so I can either accept it and try to live joyously or waste my life in fear and depression.

This isn't to say that I don't fail all the time. But I still try to remember.
