I think maybe it was around early 20s. I remember a while after I graduated high school and I was trying to get used to being at home all of the time. I felt depressed, affection & touch starved (I already was before, but I won't worry about that), hopeless, etc. Basically, just an emotional wreck. When the pandemic came that didn't help either. But I got better over time and have succeeded a few things I wanted. I'm still a work in progress and might be for a few more years. It'll all be for the better.

  May I ask why you are home all of the time? Are you sick?
  I think I was once in your shoes. That's why I'm asking.

  @sage2021 No. I'm neurodiverse and I don't have the ability to drive a car. So, I pretty much just have to do what I can at home and stuff. To some people it sounds great to be home all the time, except it isn't. It's actually stressful & miserable. And it can affect your mental health terribly. There were times where I felt so terrible emotionally and mentally where I was like "I want to get out of here! No, we NEED to get out of this house! Somebody take me somewhere!"

The last 4 years or so up until a month or so back.
Had some depression, bad relationship I finally got over, struggled to getting a job, corona which made it more difficult. Finally got a job, but because of the distance I had to live back at my parent's for about two years.
Now I finally got a job in my own city and I'm moving back next week.
But I certainly felt hopeless for those years, it takes a huge hit to my confidence through it all.

Throughout most of 2013. I just had a bad year between job struggles, financial difficulties, and some other personal issues I was dealing with.

  I bet you were a real basket case! I saw on TV how hard it was for the losers! They had to go into therapy, they were crying all over the place.
  But now I bet you are just thrilled that Biden won the last time.
  I mean look how he has destroyed America 🇺🇸 b- it's going to hell in a hand basket.
  I hope you can't afford your rent, groceries, electric bill. Because that's what you voted for.
  
  And why in God's name can't any of you get over saying his name? Trump! It was like yesterday when he won.
  All those wasted tears on Biden and Trump was the best President America 🇺🇸 has ever had.

When I was in grad school. I but I did not know if I could do it. was unemployed and school was not going good. I needed a 3.0 average to graduate and I did not have it. I needed to do better but did not think I could do it.

Never in a general sense. I’ve lost hope in specific situations before. It’s never flowed over into other aspects of my life though.

Been quite a few times. Growing up in hell gets kinda hard sometimes. Then becoming an adult I find out it's just become a hotter level. That's one feeling that I could never get used to.

When I think that the chances of Italy expanding its territory again are slim, I despair, but then I remember this and my joy returns: It is an honor to be Italian.

Goodness Years Ago when I had a partner who was on drugs and I was trying to help him. All is great now in my life. Just another experience.

As a kid, most of the time. I don't think I realized until I got out to college what it felt like to really have hope.

  Nothing major. At times I just see a bit of quicksand one thing goes wrong, then another, then another, and then I'm questioning everything. I just mean at times I feel like I don't have control.
