Sometimes you can't muster hope within you even when you do recognize it's depression that's telling you lies. At those times rely upon another's hope... when someone gives you encouragement, even when the first response is generally to say Yes, but... whether said verbally or just in your head... DON'T say it... say Ok, they do have hope for me, and I'll go on their hope until I find my own again.



You can work on that guilt too If you learn from a mistake, that's excellent because that's part of living. No one knows everything. If you make a mistake at work, say oops or sorry I'll work on not letting that happen again, and move on. No guilt required (even though they might try to control you with it.) Guilt is only "allowed" if you set out purposely to do something negative and contrary, and receive a good feeling from doing it first... but ppl who do that rarely feel guilty. Nope, no guilt allowed. Do your best. What more can any one do?
