Dear Saddness, I am realizing that when I am alone with my thoughts, I dwell on my situation. Then I get frustrated, and see things as hopeless. But then later, I realize they are not. See, I convince myself that I'm in an impossible situation, that no one cares, and there's no use trying. But that's not true! I have convinced myself to believe something that is *not* reality. It would be terrible if I made an irreversable decision on the basis of those feelings at the time. Don't decide anything right away. Like Bach said, wait 24 hours. Then you have options. If you decide to take your life now, then you can't change your mind later. I think a good antidote to my feelings of hopelessness is to have other people. Other BLers help tremendously, people I can email or call. But even people in real life, who don't know I'm a BLer, can be a tremendous help. Just being with friends and doing things with them, even working on something, can help me see things more realistically. Especially helpful is doing things for someone else. My life has meaning and worth when I know I am doing something for another person, or working toward something good. And you have incredible potential for doing good. Please get in touch with me or someone else. My email address is markds@nym.alias.net. Mark |
