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?

Anything at all! Hope can be found in something as simple as seeing a giggling child, or cycling on a bike the colour of sunbeams - there will always be difficult times, but life is a balancing act and the scale is bound to tip back to the positive end at some point: While hardship may seem inevitable, remember that the same logic applies to hope-you will find it, I promise

It can be hard when everything in your life is feeling out of place; it can make you as a person become confused and distracted by the good things in life. That's what makes everything feel pointless. Ill start off by saying, the only thing that's pointless is a circle, and if you keep walking in circles, it wont help. I would recommend starting at the route of the problem and working my way through there. Set goals too, put it up on your walls, make reminders in your phone, just keep reminding yourself that of that goal. And that will keep giving you motivation to go on longer. You will be okay and just know, as long as you work hard, you'll get to a light at the end of the tunnel.

Go outside and take a walk with nature. Feel the sun, listen to the birds. Meditate on your feelings.

In honest; life is not about hope. Objectively speaking; life is about living. Hope for good things to happen is apart of the problem. I am not saying you should not want anything good. But someone close once said that erasing the bad also erases the good; its all connected. In changing one thing it would delete what is certainly good. On another hand, define pointless? What is your belief of live and its point? Purpose is a nice concept and if had its wonderful. But sometimes you have to find a reason to see a point, maybe as simple as to just be. Being is the solution and in a way moves you to a later part in life where you have lived to a new section you feel less hopeless about.

Life isn't easy but that's just how it is .You should take a deep breath and know that you are not alone . Take it easy and focus on what makes you happy while keeping yourself occupied.

When you look at someone, look with your heart and not your eyes. You see so much more! Believe in yourself. Always! Don't hope for inspiration, be the inspiration! Share your story, and listen to other's stories. Great friendships have begun as easily as these two steps! Don't just love to live, live to love! Lastly, if you don't go within, you will go without! Peace

i dnt knw if you believe in god or not, if not then start believing and pray for yourself, there is only that great spirit whos gonna help you. otherwise to distract yourself from these thoughts, help other people in achieving there goals, you'll eventually achieve yours

Setting short-term and long-term goals helps with motivation. From this, you can build habits, even if that's drinking a glass of water every morning. From that, you can build routines. A way to build your life back together, although it is easier said than done. When upon doing something, even if that is making a list for yourself, you can't dwell or think about it too much. When you dwell, you put stress on your mind, therefore, you lost motivation. It's better to completely throw your mind away and allow your thoughts to catch up later.

Goals! S- Specific (Not "I want to lose weight" but "I want to lose 10 pounds). M- Measurable (Not "I should exercise more" but "I want to work out three days a week for an hour") A- Attainable (Not "I want to lose 10 lbs this week" but "I want to lose 10 lbs in the next three months) R- Relevant (Not "I want to be an astronaut" but "I want to study space travel and see if it might be a good career for me") T- Time (Not "I want to lose 50 lbs" but "I want to lose 50 lbs in a year") If you make small, achievable goals for yourself you will 1) have reason to celebrate 2) see process 3) feel successful

A way I made my life better was I started helping other people. I realized that I don't have the money to throw at people, yet I have the knowledge. That's why I joined this site. That's why I try to help to as many people as I can. 'Cause I know, if I can stop one person from pulling that trigger, that my life is worth something.
