    When I have found myself in dire straits and utter hopelessness in the past (and believe me......I have endured some really long and horrendous periods in my life).....I have ALWAYS found that things ALWAYS change.  Personally, I find that fact quite reassuring - and I hope you can too.

    Sometimes, that change isn't exactly ace!  Moreover, sometimes, it is almost hard to believe just how dreadful it can be.........but at least it is change!

    Sometimes that change comes in the form of things actually getting worse!  I know, right.......not exactly an uplifting thought for you at this moment......but hey - even things getting worst is a change!  And - when this has happened for me - the one thing that I have realised, is that I WASN'T previously at my limit at all.....I just hadn't been in that position before where I was feeling that much pain and hopelessness before.

    Sometimes, the change that I speak of, simply comes in the form of me realising that I am in a "prolonged" stretch of monotonous misery and despair, with a duration and intensity that I have not had to endure before.  Although this is a grim realisation when it happens....at least it is a change ie I realise that have a different type of challenge to endure!! 

    Obviously - what goes up, must come down.  It is a rule of nature and human existence, to my understanding and experience.  Accordingly, I can also reassure that.........YES, YES, YES = When all you see is darkness, there is ALWAYS a way back !

    I'm an old(ish) fella - with plenty of emotional and psychological scars.  Whilst life can be an absolute toilet for long periods of time, I have ALWAYS found that, no matter what, no matter how hard things get, no matter how long they last that way.......eventually.......things ALWAYS change for the better.

    And for my last (hopefully, truly uplifting thought for you).......when you come out the other side of this horrible time in your life (and you will).....you are going to be stronger, wiser and a more "complete" as a human. 

    I wish you better times - and know they will arrive for you - just bear it - it will be worth it.

    Best regards
