Default R U Thriving, Surviving or Dying?

I have some clients who are very seriously disabled and in so much pain every day, yet they seem to thrive. I also know people who are still mobile and able to function well, yet the are just barely surviving.

I feel like I'm getting worse and I don't see anything changing soon. There is no good diagnosis or plan. I'm losing the battle with depression. I'm the guy who is supposed to help everyone else cope.

What do you do to cope? How can you thrive when it seems that every day is such a struggle?

Discuss.

Thanks,

Mark
