Losing My Religion
Losing all hope
Losing my religion is a Southern American expression meaning to lose one's composure or temper—to be pushed past the point of patience: That child is making me lose my religion.
The phrase suggests being driven to behavior that violates one's moral standards or self-control.
It gained wider recognition as the title of a 1991 R.E.M. song, where it conveys obsessive, unrequited longing rather than anger.
