Everything in my life is messed up. Motivation works temporarily and I'm not suicidal but feel it's pointless to live like this. What should I do to feel hopeful?

Think of what you like, okay? Like something you like to do when you're free and want to relax. Focus on this. you can do something, you're good at it and you can improve it day by day, it can become a huge satisfaction for yourself. It can be anything, just think of it. And be happy.

Change your mindset. Once your thoughts change, your whole outlook on life changes and your circumstances won't overwhelm you. You'll know to seek help in the right places, build effective coping skills and thrive :)

I have also felt this way before. You need people around you that understand, do any friends or family know about your feelings? If they do, tell them how you feel and that you need someone to back you up when you feel this way.. I could recommend many "proven" ways to make you feel better but everyone is different.

Focus on the times where motivation does work and see how you could make use of it in different situations.

There are different types of Motivation- negative and positive, If one doesn't work try the other way. Indulge in the activities that truly interest you, no matter how stupid or taboo they might be. It's your life, you get to live it your way.

You should tell someone you trust how you feel. Talking about what's going on can be very helpful. By doing that, you don't feel alone anymore and there is someone to encourage you.

Try to search something you wanna live for. When I felt this way I talked about it with my best friend and slowly she helped me to feel more happy.

Self esteem is the best medicine. To boost your self - esteem the fastest way, help someone who cannot repay you back, otherwise just helping others is also very helpful in feeling happy. If you are rich you could donate some to the orphanage centers or old age homes

What motivate(s) you most? Always remember what boosts your energy. What are your interests and hobbies? Hobbies can be helpful in many cases. When I feel low, I usually listen to my favorite songs. It lifts my spirits. Listening to relaxing music helps, even if you aren't a fan of music. When you feel like you have no motivations in life, think about what is beautiful, who you like, or the how you could be useful.

I create a montage of things that remind me that its important to keep going. Each picture reminds me of a special person in my life, each date something to look forward to and each item a memory. I keep this on my wall and look at it when I need reminding that I mean something.
