I gave up a few years ago. Then had a nervous breakdown. Lost religion, in process of losing marriage that has lasted half my life, and will lose job unless something changes (might anyway). Most days I lay in bed for 16-20 hours a day. I have the intellectual capacity to excel, but my confidence and hope for a bright future are gone, and in their place are fear and paralysis. Things that were simple for me before are now overwhelming.
How do you regain hope after you've lost it?

Follow your heart
Accept everything comes to an end - if anything, embrace it. By giving zero fucks on loss it is surprising how it spurs you on to new things.
Right now it sounds like you are in a rut of not letting it go.
