What an insightful article! It's so interesting to contemplate that too much hope can make depression worse in some cases. I know personally I like to keep my hope alive, but I guess it doesn't make things much better for me because I hope for improvements.

I hope to have a significant other in my life eventually, I hope to get into a thriving and well-paying career, I hope to gain more friends and keep relationships with my current ones. In a sense though, I'd almost be better to give up that hope...at least for the time being. Because then, like you and the experts in the article said, it might be easier to make the best of what you have and appreciate anything wonderful that does come into your life.

Thanks for posting! Definitely some food for thought.
