I have a new therapist who is about 80 years old from Mississippi and minimizes my many physical and mental health difficulties. She's asked me to write out all the ways I can find hope, as I have NONE so about my weight, I put attend Overeaters Anonymous and begin the diet I was given by the hospital, close to the Adkins diet.

I need support please.

Having pain minimized is hurtful, we all need validation, but she may be right about hope. There seems to be a lot of scientific evidence that hope and positive thoughts can heal.

I was watching a fascinating tv show the other night on PBS, called 'change the brain, change the body'. If you get a chance you might want to catch a repeat.
