I have these struggles constantly. Been through a divorce, constant money problems, etc. One thing is to avoid sitting around moping about it.
The biggest thing for me is to remind myself, when it's true, that I'm doing everything I can do to help my situation. If I'm having money trouble for example, all I can do is work all I can, OT when possible, avoid frivolous spending etc. If I'm doing all I can do to help my situation then it is what it is, so to speak.
When my divorce was happening I was devastated...I had a heart to heart with my Dad and he asked me if there was anything more I could have done to save the marriage. There honestly wasn't. He said that I had to insure my long term happiness and be proud of doing all I could even though it didn't work out. Wise words from Dad on that one.
Now sometimes I end up in these stressful situations because of poor decision making...then I don't hesitate to beat myself up a bit before moving on and trying to learn from the situation.
