So I saw the other day that some people were saying that they wish we could talk about other things other than men. So I was wondering if I could have your help on more personal matters...
The end of last year and start of this year has been really hard, I lost my dog who was like my best friend, he helped me cope through depression and was very important to me, it was one of the hardest things to have him put to sleep.
Then my family are just falling apart, my brother is mentally ill as well, for a period of time he had drug induced psychosis, he stopped the drugs for a while and it has eased off. I am 24 and don't live at home anymore because there was no room for me in the tiny flat. My mum is miserable because, if I am being really honest, my brother is making her life hell. She is so miserable, my brother is severely depressed and sometimes has episodes that scare the hell out of us all and leave us shaken, my dad is too far removed to understand anything and also they had a physical fight that ended with them both talking to the police and in hospital getting stitched up. They now do not speak.
(Sorry for the long post) My question is, when using the law of attraction, can i change all of this around, there is only so much negativity and pain a person can take until they feel like breaking and I am at that point. I prayed last night for a miracle for it to be all okay again but my family is falling apart Any advice would suffice. Thank you. x

Yes, of course. There are a lot of your problems that are similar to things that I've gone through. I remember dealing with mental illness in my immediate family and simply breaking down into depression because I couldn't take anymore of what life was sending my way. So, I'm speaking from experience when I say that things can turn around. The most important thing is for you to hold onto hope and keep going. The good thing about miracles is that they do happen. You have to believe. I always tell people that you don't know what the future holds but you need to be healthy to enjoy it. So, keep stepping and working to feel good.

Thank you, It is so hard but I hold onto my faith as much as possible, its the only thing keeping me going right now. I try to focus on all the things I am grateful for in my family and always sending them unconditional love to help them all. Wish I could just take away all the pain and hurt so we can just be one and close again! I appreciate the input as well thank you. xxx

I am sorry about your current situation and the loss of your dog. I am a dog person,
although I don't currently have a dog, I have had dogs in my lifetime. The best thing
to do is get yourself another dog, I know your dog is irreplaceable but when you see
that cute little ball of fuzz with his wet little nose it will help you immensely.
As to the situation with your family, it is your parents' responsibility as your brother
seemingly needs mental health attention. A social worker could help especially if
your brother is violent. I would suggest talking to your parents to figure out how to
deal with things. Use Lanie's meditations on yourself first because you cannot be
a help to your family if you are at your breaking point.

Thanks Indigo, I was thinking of getting another dog, I think I am going to adopt one soon!
We have tried to sit and talk to him, hes been to therapy a few times but he has such a distorted view on things and his paranoia is awful. He also blames my parents for everything, he is 26 now and I am just worried he wont be able to help himself if he doesn't realise he has a problem. I worry so much but also think it is what it is and we are trying our best to make his life easier and help him.
I have done some meditating and also seen a lot of my friends so I am not feeling as bad as I did the other day, just some days get harder than others just seeing everyone in pain and sad Just going to keep praying and sending them all unconditional love as its all I can do right now anyway. Thank you for your advice though I will speak to my mum about the social worker. xx
