How long?
 

How many years do you havee to battle depression/seld harm/being suicidal before you accept you are always going to feel that way? How many bad things have to happen to you before you have to face the fact that that's just what your life is?

*hugs you* I don't think you ever have to accept it. It doesn't have to be what your life will always be. There is always hope if you keep trying.

I've learned to accept that like any other health problem, I have to take care of things so my mental health is ok. I take some meds to straighten out the chemistry in my brain. I am in counseling so I don't have to do other harmful things.

I wish it wasn't like this, that I could get out of bed cheerful and nice and ready to go. I don't, I can't.

I am in acceptance that I have to work at this stuff. But I don't have to live in the problem, I can work at the solution.

*snuggles you*
its so odd that youve asked this question.
ive just gotten out of hospital and i asked the exact same question while in there.
i think i had resigned myself to just accepting that i would never get better.
but i think im wrong.
i think every hurdle. every gliche. every hurt and sorrow are stepping stones to something much more important than we know.
maybe i have my head in the clouds but i really hope not.
i think we can all get to a better place.
it may be bad for a very long time.
im 31 and its been bad for a very long time. but im the only one who can change it.
im rambling but i hope something i said make sense.
much much love.
