What gives you hope?

Starrlight profile image

On most days I honestly fear way more than hope for something since good seems out of reach...

But sometimes i am surprised as I become excited about upcoming events like Spring and my son’s birthday party. These small moments give me hope that they can become larger, more frequent ones, and I may find that I’m living life again.

My therapy and meds give me hope. I would not have quality of life without either one of them.

I’m so glad that helps you beautiful Dolphin.

I find hope in my faith in God, family and friends. Also from the people who keeps telling me to be strong and stay positive! :)

loving the small bits of hope in there because after all a mustard seed grows a whole tree…loving that for you and hoping for many more small pockets of hope...the people i hold dear and the kindness in peoples hearts (including yours of course) helps to propel forward and diminish the slimy ugly parts of the world and gives such a lust for life 💖

That’s exciting; wishing the best in love for you! Same. Up, down, craziness. I wish I had the spark and energy to dream of where I want to go what I want to do... so focused on my kids... they are my world but when they grow up what will I do, ya know? I’m glad you’re happy... it will work out.

Honestly, my belief in God and the small things give me hope. Sometimes I get excited thinking about the iced coffee I’m going to drink the next morning at a cafe or when my husband returns from his work trips. It took a long time for me to want to get out of bed but when I do, I reward myself. ☺️❤️ I love this post!

Hi Caralovesvoffee!!! That’s great that you can have those moments to look forward to. I want to strengthen my faith in a God, trust, not fear. Right now I can’t wait for my kids to get home from school. Having them around is my biggest love and contentment. When they are safe and happy I can sometimes feel that too.

I have a picture on my dresser that is of me and my son a few years back. This was during my first depression episode. The picture gives me hope because I got well after that for a few years. It’s giving me hope now as I’m experience another depression relapse. Thank you for posting this, I am enjoying all the Hopes others have shared.
