Although I do everything I can to take care of my depression, I've been hospitalized during severe episodes twice in the past 18 months. My health now is pretty good, and I'm grateful for that. I hope it stays that way. But if it doesn't, I want to be prepared. To that end, I've been putting together some medical paperwork and to-do lists for a future hospitalization.
The difficulty is that doing so brings up a lot of fear and reminds me of the anguish I experience when I'm very sick. I'd like to be able to prepare for the worst while continuing to hope for the best. Do you have any feedback or suggestions? |

I don't have any words of advice. Just wanted to say what a great idea that is. I'm going to make one of my own. I can understand how it would bring up tough feelings. It's a really smart thing to do. Best wishes.

You should try reading some stoicism books. It really helped me. It is a great philosophy that helps you prepare for the worst in a way. It's beautiful in the fact it's about preparing for the worst but being greatful. One of the more popular books is the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius.
