We felt the same way when we first started this with our T.

It was challenging to find reasons to live, and sometimes we'd feel compelled at times to cross off some of the reasons. But we were open and honest with our T about those feelings. She helped us by reminding us how much life we had left, how much strength she saw in us, and how our goals that were lost in the past were still achievable, but perhaps in different ways now due to our newfound limitations. But it take starting somewhere. The fact that you acknowledge that you struggle with finding one item for that list is something you can bring up in therapy. It's something you can work on as a start.

Please don't give up. Please hang in there.

You have purpose in life, but it's a journey to find it. And sometimes we have to find our purpose over and over again, depending on life circumstances. And that's okay, too.

Each of your parts inside have a purpose in life.
