A.
Hey thanks for the question and I’m so sorry to hear about your health issues. Obviously, I have no idea about the true extent of these (the complexities and nuances) but I’m assuming they’re impacting the quality of your life. Especially as they’ve been going on for so long now, which I do understand just how much of a slog this can be.
Still, congratulations, sounds weird to say I know. But you have come a long way, I’m sure you’ve had quite the journey, even learned a lot about yourself (and the world). Something I’ve actually said before, as much as I know it’s not ideal, but while navigating health issues you are still living. It’s like an unwanted adventure but an adventure nonetheless.
Okay, now hope. So, again I’m not certain of your exact circumstance, what I am wondering though is if you’re (to an extent) waiting to get ā€œwellā€ so you can live again, even enjoy life. I know I did this myself at one point in time. And why I say this, it’s possible that there’s an almost toxic attachment to this hope of wellness, and the reason you get out of bed in the morning is to fulfil this mission of healing. And it’s this attachment to hope (of a better day), this is I’m guessing why you’re struggling.
But look, maybe you will get better maybe you won’t (which I totally pray that you do), only is it worth crippling your life even more waiting for an outcome? Or, sorta what I’m trying to say, can you put this ā€œholding on to hopeā€ thing on the back-burner a little and enjoy what you have? The little things. Like I have no doubt that you’re awesome in so many ways which are possibly being suppressed because of your current mindset. And sure continue on with your treatments, yet I’d say having compassion toward yourself may be as equally as important.
So, how do you hold on to hope? I’d say the best way is to continue on with your life as best you can. Don’t waste another day. I mean, hope is good, sure, but living is way better.
Get passionate about something bigger than yourself (and your health issues).
Hope this helps.
