More worthless sometimes than hopeless although the 2 make a powerful combination. The key for me often is just to remember that I don't always feel this way. I guess I wouldn't want to make as radical a decision as suicide based on what I feel only some of the time even though sometimes it seems as if I feel that way more often than not.
I guess the other thing that helps is that my T and I will sort of do a review of where I've been and where she thinks we're headed in therapy. Taking a longer range view helps. I can nearly always see that I'm better overall than I was and sometimes even if I can't quite see how the game plan is going to work, I'm willing to ride on the coattails of her confidence and hope.
