Has anyone in The Haven Ever Given up Hope?

To the point where they have no future.

I have gone through some patches in my life when I thought that I've given up hope. Those were some dark times. But I am not sure if that was entirely true even if it seemed that way at that time. I somehow made it through and I don't know if that was possible if I had no hope. Something got me through. So I think that maybe, somewhere deep inside there was still some hope left - very well hidden from me so that my ruthless thoughts and darkness wouldn't swallow it completely.

I am not sure if your question is hypothetical or if you're going through a rough time yourself. If it's the latter, I can say from my own experience - it does get better. It's a weird thing about life and the darkest of times - it gets better even when you don't believe it.

I'll be blatantly honest to say that, I've come close to giving up hope yet, somewhere inside of me there is still a part of me which keeps me from falling into the darkside of my emotions and believe me such do exist. However, I seemingly tend to be able to help myself overcome the things which torment me ..

Almost

I felt like I had no future when I was suffering from a psychotic depression

Probably the only thing that kept me going, hope, when I was younger, but now that I am 57 I have to face the fact that it was a false hope, I have finally given up hope, best to hold onto it as long as possible though because thats when life gets really miserable, when you can no longer fantasise that you will soon meet a beautiful girlfriend who will love you forever and you can be like normal people with kids and grandkids to come and visit you occasionally.

Not too worried about not having a future, but don't like it when other people try to control it.

The Haven is a place for hope. If you go to the Haven, you haven't given up hope.

giving up now

Don't know if I've given up hope.
Just can't be arsed living anymore.

Yes, I've come close to giving up hope in fact, one could say that I was either near death or clinically dead.Either way I hold on to what little amount of hope I have in being to keep me going and to honorable try to help other people find hope within themselves.. It's a constant struggle for me as, I take it the same can be said of others regardless of his/her own individual life scenarios.
