Hello, Bigbear68. Your post hits close to home.

Some time ago - I don't know when - I let go of hope. I'm not saying I have no hope; I just don't care, I no longer have the strength to care about having hope. For me, hope doesn't help. I simply live without reference to hope.

I was reading a depression book and it kept saying, keep up hope that your going to be ok, well I hate to admit this, I cant hang onto something I just dont have anymore.
I find maintaining hope demands psychic energy, and that bank account ran dry. Maybe I'll get better, a little better, a teensy-weensy bit better some time in the future; maybe I won't. Whatever. I no longer devote time and energy to the issue. Getting through today is my concern.

This is not advice! This is what has happened to me.

I could use your advice.
