Default maintaining hope/positive outlook

I realize the only thing that can really help to heal, medically, is time. However, I also think having a positive outlook on things can't hurt (maybe it won't help). How do you maintain hope and a positive outlook? Sometimes it is difficult when facing a slew of symptoms to imagine that life will be anything but a constant struggle of dealing with all this for many years to come. Any tips for maintaining a positive attitude in this very difficult time?

I think an important part of looking forward with a positive attitude is to take any steps one can to improve the situation. For me, the vitamin regimen is one thing I have control over. Removing myself from stressful situations is also a positive step forward. Understanding that the human brain is not designed to endure stressful living allows one to accept a calmer lifestyle. The younger generation thinks they must be pushing the limits all the time. This is not good for even healthy brains.

I am trying to look at this as not missing life but a part of it....much like it takes the sun and moon to make a day. Sometimes it takes the good and the crap to fill out a life.

It is allowing me to be more positive about what Mark mentioned...doing what I can.

My wife took the grandkids skiing today and I missed it, I started to sulk but then realized being home allows me to fix dinner for my wife and I went to take some pics of the grandkids when she picked them up. Just little stuff that made me a participant in the day, different but still a participant.
