Is there ever a time for you that life seems so sad that you cannot see hope? If so what do you do to get yourself past the bad and back to being hopeful?

Well, it is tough being hopeless - I have strong spiritual practice (daily Buddhist prayer, study, meetings) and am part of a great spiritual community and and men's group; more than anything I rekindle my faith in myself, others and in attaining my goals through self-reflective chanting/prayer - I work on being strong in the face of adversity. I also find that I need to have more than a fair weather practice - that is, like honing a skill - faith needs to be nurtured daily.

Most people would tell you talk to god. That does not help me. I tell myself that life goes on. I try to plan things with friends even though I don't feel chipper enough to want to. I try to tell myself this has happened before and it will happen again that I always come out of it. I watch a movie (comedy) one that I really like because I know at some point it will make me laugh or at the least smile. I know it sounds corny but a real smile does make you feel better even if its the smallest amount. It opens endorfens (yeah spelt that wrong did not feel like spell check) You just got to hold on and when the hope comes back you will forget that it was ever gone.

sure, it happens to me all the time but I always convince myself that I have to be stronger and I have to keep on fighting I can't just give up on my life or future.

Yes, life often times seems like that. And I do nothing to get past it... I let it engluf me, and then I control it and create beauty.

Yes of course but really the first thing you have to do is talk about it get it out there in the open you no even if it with yourself talking to yourself not in your head out loud can help you realize that ur very fortunate and realize its all in your head. Then u must distraced yourself distract distract distact. It may seem boring hard or dippresing. But you gotta get out there call some friends to out and do something fun. then your sadness doen't seem scary and u can cope.
