October 10, 2011 7:56 pm at 7:56 pm #818158OfcourseMemberIf only someone had a serious answer.
I guess my answer is:
Find one good friend/role model to let it all hang out to, and then:
Make the best of it and never let them see you sweat, because no one likes a crybaby, and no one benefits anyhow, not even the one crying.

If hashem sends you a Nisayon:
in the sefer Lekach Tov, in the volume Emuna Unechama, towards the end there is a story brought from r Chaim Vital zt”l that deals with such a scenarios
if you cant find it let me know and I’ll post the page number, someone told me they printed it in english but i am not aware of that
Also the sefer Ma’amar Mordechai by R Mordechai Shwab ha several Perakim on nisyonos and how to over come and make the best of them
