From the past few days, the feeling of desperation and hopelessness seems reluctant to leave my mind.

The simultaneous feeling of desperation to do something and being hopeless to do the same is a torture.

Some by-passer may say;
It’s a life process, get over it.
{Okay, I know.}

Be productive, that will heal you.
{Umm, I know.}

Stop making excuses, attention seeker; people are suffering worse than you.

{OKAY, HEAR ME OUT.}

[SHUT YOUR DAMN ADVISABLE MOUTH, OR BE READY TO LIVE AS A MUTE FOREVER!] (intrusive thought)

I KNOW every single piece of advice or maybe you damn call it a motivation that you read or write in your motivation session.
And I am damn sure that you know, it’s easier to say than done.

In my situation, reading or listening to a motivational line or speech, respectively, is more depressing in the long run.
Motivation leaves you with the desperation to be productive but hopelessness makes you hopeless to do the same.

Now,
If you are going through the same situation as me, I am left with no energy to shower you with fake hope that life’s going to be better.
(It’s becoming worse)

You can either be in any of these two situations.
Either your feeling of desperation and hopelessness have fueled up after reading this article;
Or you are somewhat at ease knowing that you are not alone.

But I am sure this feeling will fade to near infinity at some point of time but surely will give a dashing comeback to our life, leaving us doubting our guts.

DESPERATION IS THE FIRE WHICH NEVER CEASE;
HOPELESSNESS IS THE WATER WHICH END DOESN’T EXIST.
