News of Hope

Dear strangers,
This post is long, but please read it because I really need your help. I'm completely lost and don't know what to do anymore. Thank you in advance. I assume what I will write here will be too much to take in all at once. But I don't know what else to do.

I don't even know where to begin... I'll try and be as short as possible. I'm twenty years old. As ...

What exactly is Hope? I'm trying define it's nature.

Webster defines it as:

to cherish a desire with anticipation <hopes for a promotion>

Hello. Here's something you might find interesting.
I'm a 50+ yo white male.

So right away I'm sure that:
He's over 50: No hope for him. We don't waste our time on that. (Medical profession)
White male? He's what's wrong with the world! "F" HIM! Hell, kill 'em all! (The vast majority of society, brainwashed masses, and certainly all women)

There, that should all have you all hating my guts already, no? But it's largely ...

Hi.

I"m new here. I'm having kind of a crappy day. Sometimes I feel like people don't understand what it's like to be a person who has serious trouble making decisions. I can't stand it. And right now we're going through a sort of 'forced' remodel, because we bought a house that turned out to be a money pit (decision in which I didn't follow my instincts) and I'm being forced to make all of ...

Actions are based on emotion - upon which a layer of reason may be added - but my emotions occur in a disorganized, inappropriate fashion. What should I do?
I'm someone who thinks, and has hard-wired himself to think - as often as possible - objectively (from a biological, chemical, physical, cosmological and quantum view). What is the best way to figure out how I feel? And, most importantly, if I do figure it out, ...

The last 10 months have been the hardest of my whole life. I know there's lots of people with real problems but these have been the most depressing, sad and difficult times for me.

I moved to another country 5 years ago and my life just turned around. Everything changed. I'm surrounded by a group of people who are the most immature and hypocrite human beings I've ever met. I don't like the way this ...

My mom found out about my cutting. ...she yelled at me, and is going to tell my father, who will not only yell at me but probably take away all that I own. They are going to tell the whole family about it, and also about my being a Satanist, which is going to make my aunt, who is a devout Christian, absolutley blow up on me. They are going to get me counseling I ...

I don't know where to post this so im posting it here.
I feel so lost and empty, nothing to live for. Feel like ending my life!
Last week i sat on the railway line with my back to the train, i crouched into a ball, and put my headphones on and turned the music on loudest, so that i would not hear the train coming. After about 15 minutes i felt someone grab me ...
