What gives you hope?

As @shutterbug states hope is what gets you through it and can lead to a better life in general

What gives you hope?

For me its being around for my loved ones, being there for husband and parents and siblings. There are times i do spiral and lose the will to live but i talk to my family and they keep me grounded when im feeling bad.

What works for you?

Uh…nothing gives me hope. At least in my life there’s nothing to hope for rather than persuing your interests and doing good deeds to others. Just simply living the life. Taking things by day. I’m too afraid to take my own life because I’m afraid of the consequences. So I decided to take things slowly at my own pace.

For me thing that gives me hope is myself. How I bounce back and how I comeback everytime I fall down. That keeps me going.

My spiritual life give me hope. Plus, I try to focus and remember the good people I’ve met in my life. There aren’t many, but they do exist. That gives me hope for the future.

Honestly the concept of things being better. I refuse to die before I find true happiness. The reaper will have to drag me to the other side kicking and screaming.

The concept of being content and finding rest is so foreign and strange to me but I know it must exist and I will find it. I’ve had small tastes of it and I want more

The will to survive and want to be happy. Hope is part of the driving force for that.

Same here, its all about Jesus.

Different people may have different views on religion. It’s something deeply personal and we try not to force our own convictions onto one another.

On my darkest moments I sometimes turn to faith as well, but it doesn’t always help. It’s not a matter of “yee of little faith”. It’s a matter of serious mental illness, on which only meds and therapy are proved to work so far.

The mystery of consciousness gives me hope. I used to be healthy before I was ill. I don’t see why the reverse shouldn’t be possible.
