Anxiety and depression are my life sentence. But they aren't a death sentence when I hang on to hope.

My Hope comes then gets ripped away, comes back then gets ripped away time and time again. So how do You keep Hope Indisteructable? Don't get me wrong I Love the idea I'm just tired of it being ripped away.

It happens to me too. Some days I have great hope. Other days just a bit. I hold on to it by remembering my better days. Even the smallest amount of hope helps.

Amen!

I used to think that my goal of therapy and meds and everything else was that one day I would be free. But honestly, it’s part of my personality, my brain stuff, and my physical body response to situations. It’s something that will always linger.

But, hope and love are something that I’ve learned are much stronger than fear. Acceptance and forgiveness conquer condemnation, shame, and guilt.

There is an ocean of things I am able to be thankful for. There is always an opportunity for growth.

I can relate so much to your post. I used to think therapy and meds would cure me. Make me a carefree, happy person. But that isn't who I am. Hope, love, acceptance, and gratitude are something to savor. The greatest gift we can give each other is unconditional love and acceptance.

Yes, Hope keeps me alive. :D

One of my favorite photos. Took it from my deck. I love the colors. Darker shades but varied and beautiful. A bit like me.😊
