I have concluded that your problem really is not your problem. Surface problems do not make or break us.We respond to problems based on two things. We respond to problems based on what we see and what we seek. What we see is determined by our perspective in life and our level of discernment. If I can see the problem but lack the desire to solve it, I'll begin to observe problems as they are, but I'll never solve them.
We see our problems based on three things: pas experiences, present environment and personal evaluations.
Here is a key idea you need to remember: The problem surrounding us are not as crucial as the people surrounding us. We are not overcome by our problems, but if the people around us don't know how to handle problems, then we may be overcome.
