What made me change and gave me hope—apart from my tremendous and supportive partner in life—was realizing that I was working to support others, but no one (at work) supported me.
I decided to treat myself as I treated others. I decided to be good to myself, and I have to say, it made a huge difference in my life. I know not everyone can quit their job. Still, everyone can decide to do something for themselves, even if it means locking yourself 5 min in the bathroom to run away from your lovely family, walking a couple extra minutes in the supermarket, or breathing in your car. And if you want to write but you can't start, try one line per day and grow from there... it can always get better :)

Thank you so much for reading, and for this wonderful response. It’s a great reminder that hope is also a commitment to oneself.
