Re: Jinnyann,
You've hit the nail on the head: hope has to come at some stage. You put it so well. I write, too, but you have a way with words. Please continue to share, as your writings can and DO influence someone like me who has been through the most awful deep depression and hopelessness (and paranoia) these past 4 years, "years of crying, trying and failing" as you put it. It's been so revealing to me to share on here with such as your goodself, and I'm sure in my bones that hope must come into the equation at some stage, though in my case all too late, but there nonetheless, right now. My blog (at
http://john4.psychcentral.net) will show the depths to which I descended. Hope, though, is so fragile, as I know to my cost when the Voice comes to haunt me in the midnight hour. But as you write one must "...drink it with all my might". How very true! Thank you, and I'm sorry you went through so much . . . A special hug from me.
