slippery hope

Why is a sense of hope such a slippery thing? I wake up some mornings and feel so hopeful. Then I go off to work/school and my hope just seems to die. I give myself a pep talk and sometimes I get a very small little bit of it back. Other times, I get a desire to climb into to bed and ignore the world. Obviously, I am not allowed that luxury which is good because it would just make me sadder.

I totally understand.
I do my best to give myself that pep talk every morning. You know the one "Today is going to be a good day! I am going to manage my thoughts and stay focused."

Then all hell breaks loose and I would rather be away in some cave all alone...or even worse....

I wish I knew what would help you/me.

But you are not alone.

I rarely lose hope, but that doesn't mean that everything in my life seems positive all the time. Actually I see things very negatively but in the back of my mind there's hope that it will get better somehow.

Hang in there.

I have to agree with everything. Most of the time I am full of hope but trying to keep it full is another thing entirely. At least we are all trying - I say that is a good and hopeful thing for us.
