Tell me what gives you hope and also what makes it feel hopeless.

What gives me hope is that I haven't felt this awful forever. It's been 9 months of hell. But I also have had 34 years that weren't this bad.

What makes me feel hopeless is the extreme agony I find myself in mentally about 5 days per week. I truly want to die most days. Is this permanent?

The off chance I'll find someone who loves me gives me hope.

What makes it feel hopeless is I'm 48 now and I still haven't found her. Plus, I can't make a relationship last more than 5 years anyway. Plus, I just get more bitter and cynical with every rejection or breakup, and this isolation is not doing my mental health any favors.

I feel hopeful I might get to watch my kids grow up, and that I might not spend my life alone.

This. Though what makes me feel hopeless is knowing I'm cursed to get in my own way all the time whenever things start even going slightly well for me.

I guess I also draw hope from media I love to consume and hopelessness from cynically picking apart said media.

What gives me hope is you never predict the future, and its possible something could change for the better.

What makes me hopeless is the changing of things getting better seem so small. Things getting worse seem much more likely

just wondering, did your depression develop when the whole COVID thing started up? Have you ever had a depressive episode prior to this?

If this is your first time ever feeling this depressed, I encourage you to hold on to that hope! There's a very good chance that your feelings are a result of these temporarily awful conditions that we're all under right now, and that maybe once it all eases up, you will feel so much better. Apparently studies have shown that there's a mental health crisis going on. Hold on and see on it turns out.

What gives me hope is that things may get better, even if just for a brief moment. There's always gonna be endless things to be hopeless about. But that 0.0000001% chance that I'll wake up into a better world tomorrow keeps me going. I hope I'll get to see it.

I have no honest hope for anything, and no honest belief that anything could help to overcome or change this for me. Hope is long gone.

Nothing gives me hope, I used up the last of that a long time ago. Constantly being fucked over by the NHS and getting closer by the day to being another victim of NHS cover up culture makes it feel hopeless.

No I don't think COVID has much to do with my situation. I'm still trying to give it time to improve though

No hope, being trashed into abyss makes me hopeless.

In retrospect, every time I had hope and followed it, it was of service to others and never to me.

I guess the off chance that I could steadily improve enough that I could make friends and find a partner.

My life so far makes me feel helpless. I'm beyond the age where struggling with the life achievements that I do is normal or 'acceptable', so succeeding in them is going to get exponentially harder as I go on. Plus alot of the stuff that might give me hope is only really temporary and not entirely down to hard work, but luck, so it will always be out of my hands a little.

What gives me hope; the possibility of one day leaving this shitty council flat so some other poor mug to come into.


What makes me hopeless; years of sleep deprivation,
-abused by council (2 departments) who discriminate against us.

Hope: that I will be able to fix as much damage to my face as possible and feel confident and normal again.
What makes it hopeless: fixing botched plastic surgery is magnitude harder than initial surgery, cost tons of money but there's no guarantee. And some things that the surgeon done to me is unfortunately unfixable. He cut a strip of my hair and I will never have it back, I was very proud of my hair and now I am insecure about it.

It gives me hope when I see teenagers being happy and going out in movies and other media
It makes me hopeless to remember that I don't have friends and that every time I go out I'm overthinking and obsessing over everything and I end up hating to go out. Also, the pandemic has fucked me very hard,

I have began having some hope. Nothing gave it to me and I did not have to do anything?.

I don't know how to process it right now, so I will just continue to work on this vehicle for now.

The possibility of death to none existence gives me hope. Life being a trap makes me hopeless. There's no word to describe the suffering if this continues beyond death.

I dont want to have "hope" about anything and *Im not "hopeless" about anything. I don't "hope for" absolutely anything. (*forget my username, Im not "hopeless" about absolutely anything in any way at all much less the type of 'hopeless' all of 'you' are. Idk why I chose this 'username' but I'll clarify again that Ive never been "hopeless" about anything, Im not and never will lol. I wrote 'hopeless' reffering to having/finding a way out, a method in which I can ctb with. Because I dont think ill find one, at least anytime soon, if i find one it'll have been so hard to find it. I just hope i find one someday. Nothing else, Im not "hopeless" about absolutely anything. I don't want to be "hopeful" about anything lol. And 'someone' will 'say': ""''"that's because you've been trying to have hope about something for many years and you still haven't got it and things are the same and there's no improvement and youre tired of trying again and again already so you dont care anymore and thats why you say you're not hopeless about anything, you used to be, there used to be something you wanted and needed or wanted to improve, change and fix but the results were always the same and there was always no improvements and you used to be very hopeless about that but you kept trying but it's been too long and things are still the same and you're still stuck and suffering and with the same problems** so you've decided to not care about anything so you dont suffer trying to get better and improve and reaching something you can't because caring means suffering and being hopeless if you can't have what you want and need or you cant improve and resolve your life and your situation and problems"""" """maybe youve realized that it's stupid to want and need something/to want to have hope and be hopeless about things that arent worth it and will just make you suffer more""""

No lmfao it's not because of any of that crap nor literally any other 'reason' at all. I couldn't give any less of a damn fcking sht if 'something' is "stupid" or "not stupid" lol and no, I dont want nor need anything (yes, to disappear and be nothing at all in nonexistence for all eternity, that's it, I just don't want ANYTHING else. But apart from that? absolutely ANYTHING at all. And im not "suffering" about anything at all. Absolutely anything. And theres nothing that has/needs to be 'fixed'/'resolved'/'improved'/'changed' or whatever that is lol. My 'situation'/'life' is 'normal'/'good'/'great' [or whatever the fck that means] and has always been and I don't give a sht. I dont have any 'problems'/'issues'/'disabilities'/'illnesses'/'mental illnesses'**** etc nor any other type of 'problems'/'trauma'/'pain'/'suffering'/'issues'/'bad situations'/'bad circumstances'/'difficulties' etc and I don't give a fck. i couldnt care any less lol. why just because 'I' 'became' 'something'/'someone' and 'Im' 'here'/'I' 'exist' do i automatically have to want/care about/want to 'like'/have "interest" for etc 'things'? why cant I just not and that's it? The only reasons i still 'exist'/I havent ctb yet is bc I dont have any way out and bc well, as much as I dont give a shit about absolutely anything, my parents will be very 'devastated'/'sad' if I die (sorry i guess but Ill ctb someday anyway) and well they don't deserve that i guess and I know it'll be hard for them and theyll suffer and cry because they would have lost their 'daughter'/'loved one' and blah blah. But if i just dont want to 'experience 'life' (nor any other thing at all in general whatever/however it is) I simply just dont and that's it. end of the 'story'. This shouldnt be obligatory. I cant help/cant avoid having 'parents'/'family' (they're NOT "bad" 'parents'/'family' or whatever "bad" means. Theyre 'good'/'great'/'amazing'/'normal'/'perfect' [or whatever those "positive" 'adjectives'/'words'/'ways' blah blah whatever, mean lol] 'parents'/'family' and I dont give a fck. And they 'want'/'love'/'support'/'appreciate'/'value' 'me' a lot (or whatever those "positive" 'verbs' mean lol couldnt care less) and I dont give a sht. and there'll be 'people' who will say: "yOu sHouLd bE gRAtEfUl tHat yOu havE a GoOd lIfE aNd yOu hAvE a sUpPorTive aNd lovInG fAmiLy aNd tHat yOu dOnt hAvE aNy dISaBilItiEs/iLlnEsSes aNd tHat yOu hAvE foOd, pLaCe tO lIvE aNd pLaCe tO sLeEp aNd yOurE hEaLtHy yOuRE sO pRiViLeGeD i wIsH i wAs yOu aNd hAd yOur LiFe aNd yOur lUcK" lol ok.

Why do i have to be "grateful" or whatever that means? I dont want to be "grateful" about anything. Why do i have to want things? Why cant i just want death/nothingness/non-existence? Isn't that possible? Why? Just because the "human species"/"human race" or whatever a "race"/"species" means/is, say so and feel like it and it's the "normal/correct" thing? And well ok I'm 'privileged' or whatever tf that means and? So what? I couldn't care less lol. I dont want/need/have "interest" for/care about absolutely anything and I never will. I would give you all my 'health'/'body'/'brain'/'life' etcetc whatever, anything you want, if I could.

{****although there are probably 'people' who will assume I have some "mental illness" or whatever the fuck that is lol, as if i gave a fuck lol, because I say i simply literally just dont have any "interest" about/dont give a shit about absolutely anything at all in general no matter what/how it is and that I simply literally just don't want to 'live'/'do'/'experience'/'know about'/'learn from'/'discover'/'enjoy'/'be part of'/'participate in' 'life'/'human life'/'the world'/'planet earth'/'existence' (nor absolutely any other thing whatever/however it is lol) in general regardless how it is/the way it is/what happens/the "life standard" that there exists/what there is/what it has/what it can 'mean'/what it is|can be about/how it works|how it can work etc wItHoUt aNy rEaSoN aT aLl lol. ah okay, I didnt know that it's obligatory to have a fucking 'reason' to simply just not want to exist even though I never asked to exist/be 'brought' anywhere at all and 'I' 'exist'/am 'here' because 'I' was forced to :pfff:
