Hey it happens. Worst thing you could do is make a 1-2 day mood balloon into much more because you're getting down on yourself for being down.

What if you treat hopelessness like a bad stomach ache? You may have some meds to take, tea to drink, etc. You may be uncomfortable for the night or a couple of days, but you know and believe it will end shortly.

Moods come in waves. You may want to make some changes, but despair is usually a wave. Hopelessness isn't likely your default state if you're tracking it. Let yourself feel. Write it out or exercise.

Tomorrow, write down your response to "if you wake up and everything is better, how would you know?"

And then you have a map for yourself. You may not know the best path, but the direction counts for a lot.

Good luck friend.

What are you wanting? I get really depressed when I’m lonely I’m thinking of getting a dog.

For those that may not be dog people, cats can also be wonderful companions. One of mine was just on my chest being divinely affectionate. They’re wired differently from dogs, for sure, but can be a source of powerful companionship.

You need to have hope. And, it’s not as difficult as it may feel some times. Believe me, I know how tough it can get. For me, my depression, my mental illness tries to kill my hopes. But I’m still here. I still have hope. And my hopes are a little bit stronger for it.

I know this place. Try to be patient and take care of yourself.

I felt this way today! And then I turned on a sad movie and cried my eyes out and felt better

Sounds like me. I stopped trying to find hope…

I'm doing everything in my power to not quit without another job lined up, and every interview falls through. I'm overwhelmed by my clients, I've had enough corporate koolaid for a lifetime, I could not care less about what I do, and I've started exhibiting destructive behaviors at work but keep getting told I'm doing great.

If I'm going to be stuck here, clearly my attitude is the main problem. How have you learned to find joy in your job? What makes you feel like you matter here? Why stay?
