what gives you hope?

what gives you hope?

often in our darkest times we dont think about the positives in life, or looking ahead at a future life and what that might look like, so when things get really tough and we are loosing the hope that things will change, or loosing the will to go on what is is that give you that light in a dark tunnel?

is it your pets? friends? a certain quote?

it can be anything as long as it helps you in your darkest hour


For me what gives me hope is that there have been people in a similar situation as me esp the CSA and whilst it was a very hard journey and by no means an easy recovery, they are alot better. of course they have their bad days, who doesnt? but its the fact that they didnt give up, and they managed to get througha dark tunnel blind and come out into the world a better person.

so what gives you hope?

i really like everyones reasons of hope, nothing sounds corny or unimportant. anything that means something to someone is never unimportant.

keep it all up, we need more hope in the world

This thread is helping me @outlander and everyone on it. Sometimes hope eludes me. Sometimes thinking how much I've been through and the fact that I'm still soldiering on gives me hope. Often, it's people like fellow forum folk who've done the same, and still have hope for themselves and encouragement for others.

im glad this thread is helping @frog

we always forget in our bad times what we live and hope for so i think this convo is acually pretty important and a reminder to those who cant find hope that there is hope out there

Hi @outlander,

Just wanted to say what a great thread this is

It is also is something that I was wanting to look at tonight at Topic Tuesday when we look at recovery - what goals and hopes we have to improve our mental health or keep us on track. Hope you can all come along!

Keep up the inspiring posts guys,

Lauz

Hi @Former-Member @outlander @Former-Member @frog @Bunniekins

Couldn't help myself...I know I said I was going to bed....well I have to make it before I crawl in...but did I mention the toy unicorn today? Well, to my way of thinking, unicorns are a symbol of hope, so I'm going to put him in the bedroom so I can see him when I'm down or flipping out....did I mention the glittery shoes and the wings????

OK, enough from me. I hope everyone has a relaxing sleep..pity I won't be joining in the discussion about "recovery" but I can't keep my eyes open and I still want to write in my journal.
