Hopelessness conjures up deep feelings of desperation. When we are in hopelessness, no matter what we do or think, nothing will alter our life. Hopelessness diminishes our power and control over our lives. Desperation caused by hopelessness causes people to do desperate things. Hopelessness alters our perception of what will happen in the future in a way making the future look dark, bleak, and vacant of what we want or need. When we lose or give up power in our life, we tend toward hopelessness because we have perceived ourselves as having no control over circumstances. When we feel hopeless we become passive and often give up trying or believing our future holds promise.
