    Borrow someone elses. This is why I say to many, "I believe in you even when you don't believe in yourself."

    Hope is never gone. Sometimes we just don't see it.

    you cant llive in the way you idealize your life to be,thats impossible, we dont get a lot of the things we deserve or want, learn that now, it took me alot of years to cope with that, but we do get the choice to do what we want with what we have, i have been seriously faced with disease, i have looked death in the eye, you dont know the feeling of being in the doctors office waiting for your life to be over, complete an absolute loneliness has been my companion for many years, and the only thing i learned was that regret is useless, and that actions and taking risks while aiming for the better is all there is to living a good life, you give meaning to your life through your choices, every second is an open opportunity for overcoming yourself

    Hope is never gone! If it was, we'd just give up on the spot and sit there for the next 65 years of our lives. There is always hope! Even if it's a little drop, doesn't matter! :D Waking up everyday is hope! If other people are trying to kill that hope, **** them. They dont matter! :D

    I keep going until hope comes back.
    I also arrange my life such that people need me.
    If people need me, I can't kill myself...and sometimes I feel like it.

    I haven't got something that causes me tons of physical pain like you.

    However, I have asthma, sinusitis, a more ordinary bad back, migraines, PTSD flashbacks, agoraphobia, panic attacks, severe depression, and something approaching Dissociative Identity Disorder.
    One of the people in my head wants me to kill myself every time I mess up.

    Maybe they do need you. You have choices in your life. Try to help yourself, you've still got a hell of a lot of life to live yet. Listen to the oldies when they tell you that fro the age of 17 to 21 you will change considerably. Your views will change, your outlook will change and your raging hormones will change. From the age of 21-25, you will change again. The thing is though, YOU have a choice whether you want to wallow in self pity or whether you want to be happier in life. Everyone has had heartache, problems, issues in their life, I've yet to meet a person that hasn't. It's up to you whether you change this. Change the way you think. If you can, take some sessions with a cognitive counsellor. They will help you to see the glass half full instead of half empty. Best wishes for the future. Your future x

    Re-assess things, and figure out what's not working, and then, change it!

    Shake things up:

    Clean and re-organize your room.
    Cook yourself a fantastic meal.
    Jump up and down as long as you can until you get tired.
    Plant flowers.
    Bake cookies.
    Kiss puppies.
    Do something that reminds you who you are.
    Make a list of things that you've always thought it would be cool to do, and then do one of them.
    Draw an amazing picture.
    Do something that's completely out of character.
    Pick a song and learn how to rap it.
    Compose a dance routine.
    Watch a TED Talk- some of my favorites:

    http://www.ted.com/talks/matt_cutts_try_something_new_for_30_days.html (WATCH THIS!!! ONLY 5 MINUTES, BUT INSPIRING.)

    http://www.ted.com/talks/amy_cuddy_your_body_language_shapes_who_you_are.html (Slightly longer than 5 minutes, but equally inspiring)

    And then get to work and find a place where hope can exist for you again ^.^b
