Not confused...trying to keep hope alive!!!

[Papa4Life]

I agree with what the other posters have said, feelings of hopelessness come and go like rain clouds. But tomorrow could be a sunnier day.

I've certainly have had times where I've even *wanted* to stop having hope, but I rode it out, shifted my focus to something productive, and learned to be really patient. Focussing on myself has really helped improve my mental attitude, perhaps because hopelessness is akin to helplessness. I've learned that I can take care of myself and my own needs, and that has helped give me a more positive outlook.

Maybe it would also help in your sitch if you could try to shift the focus back to you and finding wgat you need to make you happy.
