What would you say to someone who has lost all their hope?

It depends on what you where hoping for? If you are sad or depressed because life is not going as you planned or imagined, then you need to start changing your view point from negative to positive.................\nTry your best to think about nice and positive things and when negative thoughts pop into your mind you can choose not to listen to them. I know that sounds strange or simple but it is true. I know we can not stop ourselves from having bad thoughts on occasion however we do not have to listen to or dwell on those thoughts. We can instead tell ourselves to stop, and redirect our thoughts onto something good, happy or just different. If you start doing this everytime you think of something sad or evil; example: If you start to think something sad like my son is late, I hope nothing bad has happened to him, what if he was hurt in an accident, what if I have to go to the hospital, and what if..... you know what I mean, it goes on until you imagine the worst senario... even making yourself feel sick or in tears. What if instead you say STOP at the beginning, redirect your thoughts to something nice instead, What if he has met a nice girl, what if he is having a coffee and cake, what is something good is happening instead. Or if the negative thoughts stay; What if you ask God to strengthen you by taking away your fears and by watching over your son and protecting him for you.\nTheir are many ways to can feel better without taking medication, one is to start learning to think positive thoughts, another is through prayer, or gentle stretching exercises, walking a dog, going for a swim, planting flowers, painting, or just having a chat. Life is a learning experience and it is not suppose to be perfect. Without disapointments we would not strive to be better, happier or more giving. We would not understand how important it is to love and care for others and be forgiving and compassionate. We would just be content to do nothing special when we should be doing something great.\nThis is what I have learnt from my past anxiety, panic attacks and depression, what doesn't kill you will strengthen you. I would wake in the morning and say "Oh pooh I am still alive", I wanted to go to bed and never wake up. I lived every minute in fear with my heart racing at 100 miles per minute. I weighed in at a meer 42 kilograms because of the constant panic attacks and depression. How did I improve, with faith, hope, and love I received from praying to God. I started volunteering in the community and have never looked back, their is always someone worse off than you. I sponsor a child in another country and I am too busy living for others to worry about my own problems.

I would go to a homeless person and ask what I could do for them?  \n\nI would go to some one that has been through trials and tribulations and offer my assistance in any way I can.  \n\nI would pray for everyone that needs Salvation... \n\nI would "witness to those in need" if the LORD puts it in my heart and leads me down that path...\n\nIt doesnt have to be a close friend, just some one in need, even a smile or a handshake or a pat on the back, everyone needs reassurance that some one is "there" for them...\n\nJesse

I'm so sorry you've lost someone important to you.  I've been there before myself.  Tomorrow will be the first anniversary of my mother's death in a hospice.  She suffered so much before she died that it tore my heart out, but she's with her Lord and Saviour now, and happy at last.  Time will improve things for you.  It's the only thing that helped me.  Try to do things you enjoy to distract yourself from the pain.  Even that can take a great effort, but you have to keep trying. If you do, I promise you that things will get better as time moves on.  May God Bless You!

As long as it gives  you hope, thats all that counts, regardless of how long.  Remember this. Remember this, The sorrow you suffer now is worth the ray of hope that everyday she lives. Good luck and happy wisdom.

I don't know what to say to cheer you up but I just want you to know that I'm thinking about ya......it will be alright in the end...just have a little faith....lay down, kick back, think of somewhere that you REALLY REALLY want to be and imagine that place in your mind.....that's what I do, I usually end up smiling to myself...and for a little while, I'm happy....\nChin Up!!!

Get him a Promise book. You can find them at the christian book store. Honestly we all need to find hope, even- especially the hopeless!

For 90% of them, a shrug would suffice.  That leaves 3:\n\n1. That's what you get for being a ho, \nthough I can't really say that I told you so.\nYou could have chose love instead of money, \nbut now you're knocked up by a loser, honey.\n\n2. I wish we had met at another time and under better circumstances.  We were so right for each other at the wrong time.  I wish I could have gone to church with you.  Maybe I wouldn't have lost faith like I did... Or maybe it was inevitable.\n\n3. Even if it could never have worked out, I don't regret loving you.  I guess that's what made leaving so difficult and why I got so screwed up afterwards.  That's the part I regret.  A part of me died when I had to say goodbye and I don't know if it will ever come back.

You will do what the rest of us do in a situation like that: \n\nhope that it will work because you want it to work and one day you will either (a) end up together (b) run out of hope. Both are good. What we do in the meantime until that moment comes hurts! It's beautiful but it hurts. The hope is irresistible, but the fact that he is NOT here by our side hurts horribly.
