Hope is a state of mind. It involves more than just wishing for something. If you draw a breath there's hope you'll draw another one, and on and on. That's how it worded for me for awhile. I finally got some relief at the tender age of 56, by working with a great clinician for about a year. I worked hard at it because I was desperate. Most of my days are ok now. That doesn't mean they are always great. Ok is also a state of mind. It is OK to hope. Because as long as you are drawing a breath, there is hope you will draw another. And that usually beats the alternative. There is Hope. Even if it's only a little today. Hang in there.
