Helplessness is NOT hopelessness!!!!

I used to go to this old group called Recovery, Inc. where we read this book written by a psychiatrist, Dr Abraham Lowe. The book was titled Mental Health through Will Training and at times it wasn't a very easy book to plow through, but one of it's sayings that really stuck with me is helplessness is not hopelessness. A lot of us are feeling stuck right now and frustrated, but we can't give up hope!!! And we have to look for what inspires us and gives us hope, and it's there if you look for it. Sometimes just appreciating that it's a breezy sunny day and going for a walk outside, being glad you're not homeless even if your living situation isn't ideal, for me I love listening to music that is hopeful and positive or makes me want to dance. So find what brings you hope!!!!!!

Hi Googoodollsfan, I remember that group It was the first group I had attended.

I remember taking turns reading from the book by Dr. Lowe but actually I don't remember

how much I retained at that time or really understood. After years of therapy and life

experience, it became clearer in what Dr. Lowe as well as Dr. Claire Weeks meant. Once

I understood, the door opened to my getting better and the walk became faster to my healing. Thank you for bringing to our attention that "Helplessness is NOT Hopelessness"

Wishing you a Positive and Peaceful Day xx
