I'm sorry you are feeling so... um-m-m... "defeated"? Is that an appropriate descriptor for how you're feeling?  Anyway... I hope that, in some way, you can find a pathway back to hope. Perhaps having come here to PC can be one small step in that direction.
Here are links to 3 articles, from PC's archives, on the subject of hopelessness & how to overcome it:
9 Types of Hopelessness and How to Overcome Them
A Real Dose of Hope When You're Feeling Hopeless
Feeling Hopeless? 7 Ways You Can Become Your Own Hero
My best wishes to you...
