Blogpost #3: Existential Despair

      In this blog Existential despair its to be discuss. First and for-most, what is existential despair?is an existential crisis is a stage of development at which an individual questions the very foundations of his or her life. in this blog you will know the definition the of existential despair.

     While I was browsing I found a poem "Floating down the River of Despair" that pertains about existential despair in the site of "tc.umn.edu" written by James Park. I'm not gonna write all down the poem I'm just gonna explain and summarize it. In the poem the water represent despair,depression,problem, and etc. Floating material represent our protectors like money wealth,family that bring us happiness , so in the poem people who is in the water suffer from despair, people who is not in the water floating by with joy are not in the state of being despair,but in every joy or despair they have only one destination and that is death.

    "The Existential Crisis" comes from the site of "therapytestingva" posted by "Familyfist psychological services"written by Melissa hunt I found the meaning of existential despair.They define it as questioning you self whether if your life has value,purpose or meaning that result of being alone to suffer from despair. In this article said that this only occur when people graduated form college, marriage, major loss,death of love ones, psycho-active drugs, retirement, and etc. This that I mentioned causes anxiety and lead us to depression and death that similar to my first article that I read.  They said that existential despair is a good psychotherapy. It can be helpful to people who is in the state of processing to avoid or heal the feeling of despair. relating this topic to the poem, In this article being alone,state of depression, and etc are people who are suffering from the water of the river of despair. Try to Imagine that the people who is the water the only thing that keep them safe is the log, what if you remove the log from them what will happen? of course they will die. I represent this log or other floating material in the poem as the hope or the happiness that keep us alive no matter what happen even though we will die sooner. The 2 article just one to say is that Existential despair can lead us to death. My two article are saying that existential despair cannot be overcome, or resolve you not chance but to bear with it and to brace it this kind of scenario is permanent you cannot resolve this kind of despair however the only thing that can keeps you unbreakable is the hope that keeps fighting, Toughness, bravery,and support can only help you to endure this kind of feelings.

    We learn that Existential despair cannot be resolve. We learn that Existential is permanent however we learn how to endure it or to brace with it. No matter what happen permanent or not hope is always there for you fight, help, and to endure despair. I just wanted readers to know that there is always room for hope ,it just need time, support to find it or to be enlighten.
