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?

Something else that gives me hope is the people in forum land: we're all so different and special with our own issues, but here is somewhere we can all come together to chat or for support, and we all belong. There are times when I'm feeling down and I think that noone gets me but then I remember my online forum family. My life's in turmoil but the forums are a safe place: I can talk if I want or not talk, as the case may be, not everything's hopeless.

And @outlander, excellent topic for discussion: how to build a good support system, because mine is dwindling ever-smaller and I'm short on ideas of what to do.
