Feeling Hopeless and Permanent Struggles

@MadAlice keep trying. It doesn't usually go away completely but you can learn tools to help you cope when you're feeling awful and it eases the pain a bit. My friend suggested that I change my environment when I'm really bad. Go somewhere you normally don't. Shopping, new restaurant, whatever. It helped me reset. You can keep a gratitude list too and remind yourself of how it feels when you're doing ok. Remind yourself that it WILL pass eventually.
