Feeling Hopeless
In the world we can sometimes find ourselves feelings hopeless.
Whilst many of these thoughts and feelings can also be created as adults, we must also remember that we take onboard much of what we see around us as children and then take that into our future.
In fact you may find many of these feelings, the feelings of hopelessness, being helpless and not in control will also be linked to events from your past; sometimes even if you don't believe they are.
Whilst the above image is a very extreme example and no doubt there is much more going on here than just feelings associated with hopelessness, it is one of those photos that comes to mind when I think about this topic. This is an image taken of a young girl who was placed into a home for disturbed children after WWII. When asked to draw a picture of home, that is what she drew.
Without minimizing what the girl in the photo saw or went through (as this is not my intention), I wanted to illustrate that as children we suck in everything we see, thus many of our present thoughts and feelings can be traced back to our childhood.
