My condolences on your hospitalization and I hope that you have found some stability. What everyone does not understand is that the power is within you and not some external, supernatural force. Find that candlelight and let it grow within you, which sometimes can be difficult to find in the cave of despair. Add some light to those moments when you find yourself in that cave and try to peep out and see what the shadows are hiding. The shadow can be very comforting and alluring, but remember that you have the answers within you.
It was when I realized this, that I discovered hope was within me and when I broke from the clutches of depression, anxiety, and drug/alcohol abuse.
I did not need AA nor religion, just a good therapist to guide me to that light within me. I promise you that it is inside you, but you may need some guidance to locate it and let your phoenix emerge from within you.
May kindness and stability enter your life.
