How to overcome the feeling of hopelessness? What do you guys do to get out of this feeling of depression?

[Hidden]

The way I cope is by waiting. I allow myself to feel hopeless until things get better.

I don’t define my state as hopeless, hopeless serves me in no way. I accept that I am down and that it will pass.

I see my mental health issues as self-feeding. The more that I play into them the stronger or longer they get.
