I can relate to feeling stuck in hopelessness ~ I've been there too many times myself. My T recognizes that I have a very strong tendency to look on the negative side of life. He often reminds me that I DO have control over changing my perspective. It won't be easy, of course, but it can be done with time and determination.

Time goes by, regardless of my attitude towards life. I have a lot of different problems in my life, but that doesn't mean that I'm doomed to a life of misery. There are still lots (and LOTS!) of simple pleasures in life for us to enjoy. We could choose to focus on those simple pleasures during our low moments, to get us through to a better time in life.
