"Hang in there" is not therapy, to me it's infuriating if anything. I can list several well-grounded in reality reasons which made me lose hope. Random phrases are not changing either these reasons or my ability to adapt to them. At some point "hope" feels like self-delusion. But it's nice to know others are not there yet.
Hmm. Well "hang in there" sure made me feel good when I heard it during cancer treatment when I at times thought all hope was lost, but here I am.
