I wanted to clarify that it's not a choice in lots of ways, but something that you can work on.
I don't think that in my most depressed times, I could possibly have chosen to feel differently-- but that I've been lucky enough to get some help, and to get to a place where I can sometimes make choices that have consequences.
So the choice really is a small nudge at moments when there's some opening-- which there isn't often. But sometimes there is, and then it can make much more of a difference than it's easy to explain.
Hope isn't something you can force.. I know when anyone's feeling really bad, there isn't much to do but try to make it to the next day, or the next hour.Jost
