I know this may not be financially available to you, but it would be worth looking into. Look up "Lifebook". Honestly I have felt overwhelmed doing the program, but I have found more hope that the future can change! I do feel overwhelmed, and I'm asking for support from others.

Honestly, a therapist can take you only so far. It's up to the individual experiencing the symptoms to see that there is a life worth living out there and to embrace that feeling. And to put the effort in.

You don't have to buy the program. Just take the 12 categories and plan your life,. Write down a vision and a strategy for each category. See what you believe in each category. If 12 is too many, then start with your emotions and see what you want to believe.

You have the power to change, mental illness is not a life sentence.
