Does it ever EVER get better? I just can't see this horrible life ever being anything but miserable. Does it ever let up?

One of the horrible things about depression is the loss of hope - there as a concept but has no emotional meaning.
Things can and do get better for some, may be most people.
There are things that I enjoy doing and if I focus on living in the now rather than getting lost in planning/fearing the future things are much more bearable and sometimes they are even good.
Some people find drugs lift things - other find talking therapies help - I find meditation/mindfulness and exercise help me - they are things where I can just be in the moment.
I don't know. It can but I think only if you want it enough to put the work in. The future could get better for us. We have to ask ourselves, do we want to find out & be a part of it?
