What Makes It Hard to Maintain Hope During Low Periods?

[Hazel]

Low mood can narrow thinking and make the future feel uncertain or bleak. Hope may feel distant even when circumstances haven’t changed much. What helps you reconnect with hope? Are there small reminders or experiences that shift your perspective?

When you experience low mood, or living in low period, you will usually experience a cognitive, emotional, and physical "downward spiral." When that happens, you will feel of despair, low energy, and helpless. And this makes it difficult to maintain hope.
