Living without hope. April 21, 2010.


“Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope” - Unknown

When I was in the hospital after my attempt they asked me to rate my hopefullness for the future 1-10. I said a 0. I was literally without any hope whatsoever. Now almost a year later most of the things I worried about have not happened yet. Some problems have taken care of themselves; others seem less important; others remain but I feel a little stronger. If I had waited, perhaps I would not have done what I did....
