I get that, because there are times when I have felt like things were never going to get any better. Maybe where you are right now in the midst of the bad, if you're depressed, that's what depression loves to believe, it's the hardest to see the value in something better. Especially if you don't think you can get there.

I think you can get better. I think you can cultivate a mindset where you see the near future as quite possibly positive. And that will change how you do things in the now, like right now what can you do that will increase your quality of life today? Yesterday the answer was to take my dog for an early morning walk and not wait until evening. Spending a hour out with the trees and the flowers was good. I think if you can believe things can get better, you do things that do in fact make things be better.
Thanks for this!
