Do you have hope?

[ADruinedmylife]

Just curious if this is something people still experience

 

[woxihuanni]

No.

 

[Broken Chimera]

Hope? What's that, a new drug?

 

[BipolarGuy]

Just curious if this is something people still experience

I go backwards and forwards on this.
Some days I clutch at straws and think the world is full of opportunity, while on other days I think I'm being unrealistic and that things never work out.

 

[Metalhead]

For me the only thing I hope for is a peaceful end. It fills me sadness & regret but ctb is the only option left.

 

[StringPuppet]

Even if I delude myself into thinking life is good there will just be plenty of miserable bastards like I am currently that won't be able to delude themselves. Rejection of life is the only way guys like me can ever find true peace.

 

[KiraLittleOwl]

Not really

 

[Ghost2211]

Yes, sometimes. I have people I love that love me as well. I can see there is still potential for life to improve. I'm currently in limbo waiting to see which way several things will go.

 

[MichaelNomad123]

Always. That's the problem.

 

[Cursed4ever]

NOOO

 

[Pookie]

Not anymore. Hope was what was keeping me going. But the moment I lost all hope was the moment I decided I'm checking out.

 

[Dead beat dad]

Yeah I do. Its a vague, distant and dim light that moves ever further away...
What was it the Smiths said about lights...?
'Heaven knows I'm miserable now...'

Wait that's not it...
DBD

 

[Shinkansen]

my hope is rope.

 

[Bootleg Astolfo]

Rarely, but it's always swiftly crushed and leaves me feeling infinitely worse.

 

[WornOutLife]

Hope is sure a strange phenomena because you, me and everybody can most of the times change for good. (if we really want to)
For instance, I could lose weight and be healthier, send my mother to a psych ward to have peace with my dad, try new therapists and meds until they can cure my bipolarity and so on but my "hope" and "motivation" are never enough. Negative thoughts win the battle day by day.

 

[Sensei]

Yes. I estimate that there's a 10-20 % chance that things will get better so I'm not prepared to give up just yet.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Every time I get hope I have to crush it. Whether there is hope for me or not, I don't deserve it.

 

[TripleA]

Nope

 

[Spitfire]

The hope I know of seems to be made from a willful ignorance. I do not know if I want to structure my life around something like that anymore? It could probably work for me for a little while, but... IDK? Why even do it?

Although, the eventual becoming dead aspect is still confusing to me?

 

[Superdeterminist]

It's hardly a question of hope anymore, I've simply had it with the cruel unpredictability of life. I don't find it fun, or exciting that "you never know what might happen next". If good fortune befalls me, I just laugh to myself knowing it's only brief respite from inevitable suffering that lies ahead. It can't undo the suffering that I was previously subjected to, nor will it ever justify any past or future suffering.

I feel this pretty hard too. Hope just doesn't seem worth it anymore.

 

[Stom]

Time has consumed any hope I had left. I feel like a empty shell now, having no desire to talk to anyone or do anything.

I feel like hope is the best thing that one can have to move forward, and once you're completely depleted of it you're just the shadow of yourself.

 

[deadbeat]

Sometimes, but I know it's unrealistic. There's really no way out of the hole I put myself into.

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

No. Life's already ended for me. I'm dead but I can breath somehow.

 

[greebo6]

No ,not anymore. Maybe once somewhere back in the past but not now.
I think 'hope' can in its own way be very cruel to people sometimes.

 

[Sherri]

No I don't, cause I don't have hope in mankind.

 

[BPD Barbie]

Sometimes I have hope, well I think it's hope, could just be bipolar mania. It's so hard to tell the difference at times.

 

[Conker]

There's only 0.01% part of me remaining that's holding onto hope for some sort of divine intervention. Soon enough though I will have to let go of this as well so I can proceed with my departure from Earth & this cold, retarded unjust universe.

What would be really fucking bizarre is if Airl and her crew did end up developing an effective solution for those apart of the Dao.

 

[k75]

Apparently I do, because I'm still hanging on. But I'm not delusional. The specific things that brought me to this point aren't fixable, and I'm not willing to ever accept that, so I'm not really sure what I'm hoping for.

 

[voyager]

No realistic hope, no. What I crave for is impossible to attain and the improvements I could make don't solve anything in the grand scheme of things. I'm pretty much cornered. Can either lead an unfulfilling, bland existence for the rest of my days or ctb.
