Many times and thank goodness I always remember my Grandfathers words " You can and will be the best you can be and more " -- Wow , here comes the tears , I loved him so much + 5

Yes... I do very often..

Oh my yes, many times and now, actually. I see no reason to have any hope for anything, if I've been told there is no hope for what I hope for to happen, to actually happen. A bit confusing and poorly worded, I know, but really, hope is hopeless.

i'm starting to

No, no, cuttergirl, don't let that ever happen. There is ALWAYS hope. Always.

No..I wont let that happen..and you cant either :)

I have to say yes, at one time I lost all hope.

Yap!!!!!Thats when I gave my life over to JESUS. He gave me a new life that I could of never dreamed of...Thank God He Cares for us.....M.C.S.

No, not ALL of my hope, but, on some days a good majority of it does slip away from me so I reach out to get more hope and courage for myself

yeah i have .its just a state of mind an normallity soon returns.....eventually

Never. I'm very lucky in that way...have always been a very positive person..there have been times when I've been very scared for someone else, though..but the more you look for the bright side the more likely is it you'll find something to keep you going. You never know what is around the next corner or over the next hill...your life can change in an instant..your best bet is to savor each moment, be grateful for what you have and be on the lookout for the next good thing that will come along, because something good is always on the horizon. If you allow yourself to live in the land of despair, you look inward and something wonderful might be trying to get your attention but because you're self-absorbed you won't even notice it. :)

Aye..indeed. Where I lost all hope I found my faith.

I feel very lucky to say no. I guess it's just the optimist in me. Never, never, ever give up. Hang in there. There is always hope if you know where to look. Keep looking.

I have to say yes, there was one time in my life just a few years ago when everything seemed pointless, something happened in my family that i would never have dreamed of happening in a million years, and i didnt think things would ever be the same again. I have honestly never been so low. Anyway i hung in there and with the help of good friends and family i got through it. It took a few months in which time i lost about 30lbs in weight and ended up on anti depressants as i couldnt eat, sleep, function enough to even look after my kids, but like i said i got there in the end, and now thank God its a distant bad memory. One which of course i will never forget.

There have been a few moments in time when I have lost hope for something, but not all hope. Other time I have looked around and think how can this be enough for people?? Like there has got to be more to life than what I have but how in the world do you get it???!!!! I am an optimistic person, but really I look around and think how can people be happy and satisfy with getting up every morning going to work, shopping for food, coming home, cooking dinner, cleaning the house…..day after day. For me that is just not enough I want more out of life! That is when I look round and think there has got to be more than just this! Do pray a lot because I never want to take for granted or seem ungrateful for what I do have, but I still can stop getting bored! It would be different if it was my husband and maybe some kids I had to take are of, but it’s my mother that doesn’t want to do anything for herself anymore she just wants someone to take care of her. It’s hard when all she does is yell at me because she doesn’t like what I do for her and fights me on everything but REALLY she does nothing! I can’t even get her to change her clothes or take bath! Every container she pulls out of the garbage and won’t let me throw it away…

Yes but i gained it back.

yes, but ya just have to get on with it and believe it will hopefully get better again!

Nope, after 60 years of trials, tribulations and gross stupidity, I'm still around and kicking. Things are starting to look up. It's about time - I'm ready for a few good breaks.

I once thought that I did, but no. Hope is still there. -In the Master's service. Thank you and God bless you!

It's not good to lose all hope. If you're not there, trying and waiting, you may just lose your only chance.

Yes ,just recently I did for the very first time in my life and it was not fun..But, I AM SLOWLY getting the hope back...I jsut HOPE I reamin hopeful...Death is so permenant.....sigh...

Honestly I cannot say that I have ever lost all hope... I have been blue and sometimes couldn't see my way out of my situation, but I always had hope.

Yes. At times, things seem to have lost all importance and the future does not seem like it will be any different or better than the present. Hope seems to inspire expectations that likely lead to disappointment. I suppose I do have a small sliver of hope that I am incorrect, but that's it.

yesterday I was really over the edge because I used a computer that I thought was ok and I posted some answers on AB that were of a questionable nature and started to freak out, thinking I acted in an immoral way and I was extremely frightfully upset!! Sometimes things are not as bad as they seem and in a persons minds eye they can get blown out of porportion if you over think an issue.

I must admit that I have been discouraged but I have not reached the point of no return. I know I would never lose hope when I trust in Jesus Christ as my Savior and my Lord.

All the time, I think the human race can no longer redeem itself.

Yes i hv already lost all hopes especially towards a gal. It's been one year nw since she lost touch with me, n I know dat she will nvr finds me again. I hv lost nearly all hopes on god. Of course god will nvr makes my dreams comes true one day. All hopes, all dreams already lost forever, n what is just left for me are the daily stupid daydreams of mine that i know will nvr ever be a reality for me one day.

No and will never....I know there is some1 above whom i truly believe in.
