Thank you more for your story. It's true, you really do have the choice of making 1 of 2 opposing thoughts your reality. I do recognize that Having faith in something would make life easier. (On a personal note, I do not have faith) One of my issues early on in my situation was I could no longer trust my feelings. I had no idea if what i was feeling was "right" because the next day or hour I would feel opposite. This was really disturbing to me. Now I am recognizing that I cannot get worked up so much just because I am feeling a certain way and I certainky should never act on that feeling of the moment either. Not easy.
Faith, for me, is to believe and trust in the good forces we have in us, and that through the practicing of good, we can become a part of something that is greater than the sum of its parts (all of us).
This works well for the open-minded church I go to.
Just wanted to throw in there that faith can have many forms, and that I think most of us have some kind of faith but might not define it as such because it doesn't fit traditional descriptions.
