I don't find it futile. In one year, I accomplished more than I did the 6 years prior. Maybe they're not huge accomplishments to most people, but they are to me. My life hasn't gotten any easier, but surviving has gotten easier.

I also don't believe you can fix anything with life. But I do believe you have choices, you can change, and can cope better. The goal is to be better than where you're at now...not fixed.
