They say you have to have hope - after two years things just keep getting worse.

Career, financially everything.

I wish I would have done it in May - no I went and got help,- therapist , shrink , meds - seven months later everything is still falling apart. But have Hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for letting me vent.

" I can't tell if you mean what you right or are being sarcastic, I can hear my daughter saying this and believe me sarcasim is what she means. I like the little stuffed animal idea. When I can't find my hope I search for faith. It is so hard to give hope when you feel hopeless. But, I do have a faith in my higher power (please no God arguments) that things will get better........they'll get worse again, but they will get better for awhile........maybe that is what they mean by the circle of life. Damn vicious circle at times............but, a circle none the less. "

" You're so lucky. How do you still find room for hope when things are falling apart? I've done nothing but cry for the past two days. Going to a new psychopharmacologist at a major university Wednesday; it's a clinic, and it's all confusing because my friend went there and was quoted lower rates than I was, yet she makes at least 3x what I do! I'm feeling pretty hopeless right now. No work, no one to fall back on. Once my savings are gone, what will happen to me?
No relatives, and I'm not a kid. I'm 52! "
