Hopelessness

[Aspiringanonymous]

How does one go on, when their journey is devoid of hope? How does one find strength in a futile struggle? Continue though I must, I have no energy, nor motivation, nor life within me; only growing weariness and fatigue. I am isolated; I cannot escape.

well, to start with, there is no way you are isolated. Everyone here is willing to help you. You have helped everyone on this site, and put so much time and effort into helping others, that I'm sure everyone would gladly listen to you and give you as much support as we can.

How does one go on, when their journey is devoid of hope?

Well, you're young. No journey can be devoid of hope when you're young. No one knows what is going to happen further down the road, so there's no way you can say there's no hope. It might seem like it now, but you can't see what will happen in the future. You make your own future. You're in control of your life.
You can't say there's no hope in your journey if you haven't even seen what lies ahead.

Continue though I must, I have no energy, nor motivation

hun, we all feel like that at times. All we can do is motivate ourselves.

There's always hope for everyone, but in times of need, we just need to make it ourselves. You make your own future, just remember that. Remember that you are in control, and if it seems like there's no hope, I can garuntee you there will be in the future, you just don't know it's there yet.

I'm always here if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm always here for you :hug:

The Buddhists believe that "hope" is merely a distraction from the present. It disallows us to see things the way the actually are.

I'm not entirely sure how the Buddhists do it, but in my life I am nothing without motivation. However, ignoring hope or lack there of, the truth is that you are young. You have unlimited possibilities ahead of you. Anything can happen, and there are many changes ahead of you! You may feel that your life is at a halt, but your journey is still progressing. With or without hope, you are still going on. And somewhere in the future you will find hope again. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

If you ever need anything, all of us are here :)
