text: when in a situation that leads one to depriciate in the felt value of life how do you adapt it for the better?   this one is really gonna depend on the person and the circumstances. life will always have it's ups and downs, but a thing to really be aware of and look out for is depression.   you can tend to look toward how much worse off some others are than you and your circumstances to give you a better perspective on things.   on the other hand if you tend to compare your life now to how much better it was prior to this, then you may be setting yourself up to not be happy even when things turn around (as they will usually).  look at the things that are going well, build on them and do what you can to change the things that aren't so wonderful.  since i don't know the specifics, perhaps you could find others with the same problem or difficulties to talk with about this?  good luck and my best wishes for you.
