How is it possible to be so angry EVERY day???
I have a friend who is just MISERABLE!! There is not a day that goes by that she is not angry, sad, ****** off..or just plain out miserable. It's to the point where I just don't want to be bothered with it anymore...I mean seriously. This is a happy time for me..and I get so tired of hearing what goes wrong for her. Alot of it is self brought on...
What to do???

I know someone like this, they just don't see GOOD in anything at all and it makes them miserable all the time. I feel bad for my friend that is like this, I try to stay positive, to make them see some inkling of good in things, but for the most part I avoid her! I couldn't imagine living my life that way.

OMG I use to work with someone like that. All she did every lunch time, every other minute was complain about XYZ. If it wasn't her husband, it was her weight or the job. JAYSUS- it can't be that bad!
What I realized was, there had to be a deeper inner sadness going on and I actually just felt bad for her. I was happy that, even in my worst of times and heartaches, I could still see the positive things I had in life!
I would try to avoid her... OR, if she's a really good friend, call her out on it. She might not even be aware of how miserable she is and how she comes across!

I had a close friend like that & decided to just stop speaking to her.
It wasn't that hard though, becuase she only liked to call me when things were going bad for me. Anytime I was really happy with nothing to complain about, I noticed that she wouldn't be interested anymore.
Try not to let her negativity rub off on you

I've actually tried giving her advice, feeding her with positivity, trying to make her look on the bright side..and she just doesn't get it. I'm no therapist...but I tried to offer what I could. I just really am at my wits end with her whole attitude.
I don't want to abandon her..but honestly I really think there is no choice. I'm starting to believe she's bipolar.

Unfortunately there are people that just LOVE to be miserable b/c they feel that is the only way that they get attention and they will try to bring you down also b/c if they are miserable u then should be. Try to avoid her if you can b/c this is a happy time and NO ONE should ruin it..... You wont be able to get this time back.....

You're a good friend for trying to bring this to her attention.
Can she at least be happy for YOU at this great moment/time in your life? If not, you might seriously consider getting out "the axe". I do this once a year and get rid of the people that are totally useless to me! (At least it's not that many people anymore)
