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?

Just continue to look forward, have a goal. Not some short-term goal that's going to get completed and forgotten about with little self reward. A long term goal; one that just fills your life with meaning, whether it be a purposeful sense of fulfillment in your life or one that just brings you happiness. Your life will eventually sort itself out, so please do yourself a favor and check out some of the things 7cups has to deal with some of this chaos that has been dumped onto you. Otherwise there are always people here to listen and help you get through this tough time.

When I feel like everything is messed up, it often means I'm feeling totally overwhelmed, and like I need to fix everything right now. I find it helpful to write each thing that is on my mind down on a post-it note, and put each of them up on the wall. Doing this helps get the clutter out of my brain, and it also helps me understand exactly what I'm dealing with. Often, the problems seem smaller once they're all out of my head - and once I can see a visual representation of everything that's going on, I find it easier to figure out how to cope or fix things..

What do you like about yourself? What are your qualities? Write those down and don't give up. Be around people who make you feel comfortable and support you. Reach out, speak up to a trusted person of yours. I know it can be exhausting and it can really tear you down, but at the same time think about how it makes you stronger and use that to keep you going. Your life is messed up, are you just going to leave it like that? Take a close look and see why it's a mess, try to figure out what you could change. If you can't figure it out on your own, ask for help, talk to a trusted person.

Hmm. I understand what you're going through right now. I know how can life be a messed, but please be strong and dod't do anything that can harm you. Think of positive things and look on the brighter side, I know it's hard to do but when in a hard situation we just have to be strong and look for the brighter outcome. Everything will come to an end in no time. Just hold on, don't give up and continue to move forward even everything is a messed right now, just don't give up. You will get through this.

I understand how you feel. I was stuck in that position and I wanted to seek help to get out of it, and the way I got out was allowing my family and friends to help me. It’s scary to reach out to people when you feel like that, but when you do it’s so worthwhile in the end because it allows the people closest to you to help you and because of that, you become more confident in yourself and everything you want to achieve. To feel hopeful, know that no pain lasts for long everything will work out in the end.

Find a purpose to keep going! Motivation works for as long as you allow it to. Things might be hard and messed up but that's a part of living, it wont be life if everything was easy. To stay hopeful, find something, anything that you're happy about and looking forward to and keep working towards that. Giving yourself a purpose through something that will make you happy is the best way to go, because when things are looking bad you can always look towards that one thing for a sense of hope. And once you practice being hopeful, that hopefulness will come naturally to you in everything else that you do.

It's all about the mindset that's thinking about the issues. a mindset would say that it will be always like that and there is no escape. and another one will say that everything is temporary and try to focus on the good things and try to make the things that he can control better. So to accept the reality and try to fix small things led in the end to good results. To feel hopeful is to realize that it's all about time. do your best at the satge you are in and enjoy the rising journey. stay away from negative people and keep your mind clear from negative thoughts. surround yourself with supportive and lovely people and accept their advice.

I've been there too, and it is terrible. I knew that things always cycle from good to bad to good and etc. but waiting for things slowly to work out or figure it out was torture. Take baby steps and make small changes that make you feel better, even if it's temporary. I made it an exercise for myself that every terrible situation I was in, I had to think of at least 1 positive thing about it. and have "human" interactions. It helps more than you think. and finally, watch something that makes you laugh! (Ellen, Late night shows)

I can’t give advice, but I can give personal actions I take. Honestly, when I feel that way, I usually try to watch certain people on youtube. One youtuber I would suggest is Jacksepticeye. He’s an Irish youtuber, and as long as you don’t mind cursing, even through a screen, he can make it clear that he loves and cares about you. He saved my life when I was 13 and suicidal because when I watched him, I could tell he cared. As far as specific videos go, I would suggest one of his older episode groups called reading your comments. In a lot of them, he makes it clear that despite not knowing us personally, he cares about us. As for others, one of my close friends had a similar experience with the YouTuber Markiplier.

Talk and be heard. Think positive. Tell somebody! I’m always here to listen. Focus on the future. Think about what makes you smile. Think about who you are and what you want in life! Keep going! Think about why your here. Look around you and appreciate what you have and love. Don’t let anybody out you down it’s hard. But it’s managable. Keep your head held high make yourself yourself. Make sure to talk more about how your feeling thinking anything. That’s why 7 cups is here! Keep going we’re always here for you. Think about what you have. I’m proud of you.
