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?

Look for your passion, try useful good things, try charity or volunteering, make good change and impact in others life. Make good things to people you know or don't know, even a smile. A life is never pointless.

Set goals for yourself! Step out of your current situation and think of meaningful things to do in life! It need not be related to work or studies, it could be something you're passionate about, something that can leave a positive impact on someone else. Use that as your motivation to live everyday with purpose and meaning!!! :)

100% of things in your life are messed up? there is not 1% of things that are not entirely messed up? It's 100% without point to live? There isn't 1% chance that there is a point? Sometimes focusing on mathematically probabilities helps me maintain my hope. There has to be at least 1% hope - because I cannot see the future to know 100% for sure that there isn't any. It's even possible that motivation and happiness are right around the corner. If we can just hold on long enough, ,maybe we will live to see ourselves without these dark thoughts, no one can say for sure either way, so it might be worth just trying. You are giving me hope just by taking the time to ask this question. It shows that you want chagne, and that you're capable of it. You are the only one who knows what kinds of thought challenges you need or what kind of new habits you may want to pursue, but asking this question and wondering about it are an amazing start. Personally, I think the point of my life is to discover what the point of my life is. Continue your search for meaning, and good luck!

Focus on things that make you happy, find new interest and hobbies, spend time with people who give out positive vibes.

First you must examine why you feel this way. Is it really that absolutely everything is messed up, or is it that there is a lot going on that you feel overwhelmed? Identifying the cause(s) & its reason(s) will get us off to a start to develop positive thinking.

Leave notes around your house for yourself. simple positive affirmations. You have to retrain your mind. Negative energy will always bring you to a place of hopelessness. But change your mind and it will change your atmosphere.

I would suggest you look into community projects that revolve around helping other people, like children or people with disabilities. I find that making their days easier/brighter gives me a sense of purpose, which also gives me a better outlook on life as a whole.

I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time. Your first sentence sums it up perfectly. You need to find structure in your life, routine. Get a job, even if it's temporary and explore interests. If you've been suffering from depression for a long time, get medicated, use all of the resources at your disposal.

Counselling can be incredibly helpful, it can help you discover areas in your life that you feel like you can make a change in. This can often mean engaging in some project, or helping others. Reaching out is always the first step!

Do anything. Anything starting from one thing that is messed up. Even the smallest step will give some hope and self confidence that things can be better.
