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?

Change. Change something in your life. If you don't like how your life is or like how you are living it then change it. Think about what aspects you don't like and what aspects you want to change :)

I can't say I know what you are going through. But the point of life is to try and without continuing to try what else do we live for. We just have to keep moving on.

Take every day for what it is, a new chance to work, improve, and live. Enjoy what is good as it comes, by living in the moment like this, we can become hopeful and work towards feeling "normal".

Sometimes, it is hard to feel motivation, especially when you are at a state where you are going through a lot of struggles; however, you need to know that life is not easy, and obstacles will always be there. It's that power that you overcome them that makes you so much stronger. Once you overcome them, you become a stronger person than you were before, and learn so much more about life and ultimately yourself. Don't give up, and stay strong!

I've been there. I suffer with anxiety, which at times makes me feel utterly hopeless. Sometimes my brain can't take anymore of the incessant stress and worry. When I'm feeling this way, I like to just turn to something I love doing. That makes me feel like I have purpose and my life isn't hopeless. Working out also helps relieve some of that stress as well. Even though it's sometimes difficult to find motivation, I manage to give it to myself because I know I'm worth it. Happiness is worth fighting for.

Remember that none of us knows what's going to happen next. Something huge and amazing could be right around the corner and all you have to do is remember that.

When you feel like crap, hang in there, and tough it out. You can focus on body needs first, and that can help you feel physically better. Igniting enthusiasm takes skill, and often this proceeds by trial and error. Try to find a coach that can guide you to the techniques that can work well with your style.

If life was easy it would get pretty boring after a while. You say motivation only works temporarily, how about setting yourself smaller goals to achieve and work your way up. I wish there was a magic wand to make you feel better but it's just a matter of finding what best works for you.

Keeping healthy and fit can help enormous amounts with staying happy. Taking care of yourself can make you feel better about yourself. Eating healthy, regularly exercising and having generally good hygiene can add another layer of hopefulness to your life and can keep you motivated for longer than you may feel right now. It's also good to track your progress getting fitter to see how far you've come. Finding a hobby is another good way to feel hopeful. Finding something you are passionate about can help you feel accomplished once you have gotten better at it and it is a good way to spend your time having fun and meet new friends.
