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?

Right now things might feel overwhelming, sometimes it seems like there’s no way out and you’re trapped in the situation. Take a moment to think about how you feel, identify the feeling. Accept its presence and then let it go. See if this helps you. It works for me when motivation doesn’t, sometimes being in the moment, allowing my last to be accepting of the associated feelings and then letting them pass gets me out of that feeling it pointlessness. How you’re feeling is completely valid, life isn’t easy and nor is it fair. What we is happening for you right now will pass just as all things do. You’re heard, you’re supported and you are not alone remember that. There’s always help if you ask for it. I hope this helps and things improve for you

Practice self-love and spend more time on doing your favorite hobbies and talk to your close people. Surround yourself with positive. Show some love and kindness to people around you, set boundaries and goals. Spend most of your time on achieving them, decluttering people who are not interested in your mental well being can help you. Practice the pause and Art! Start a journal or a diary so that you can look back and realize how you're growing and which way. Surround yourself with people who can make you feel better whenever you feel low. Take good care and enough rest.

It sounds like you're stuck in tunnel vision. This is common when we feel anxious or depressed. The great news is that working on your perspective can help ease some of those feelings! And it's pretty simple. You could start by making a list of 3 things that are going at least "okay" in your life. It doesn't matter how small or big they are, they could something like "managed to eat breakfast today" or "paid my rent on time", whatever is true for you. Once you've made that, try and think about 1 more. Then 1 more. Hopefully, this will help you find some things that are going okay for you, even in a time when that feels impossible. If you don't want to do that you can always try just talking to me about these things in your life that are causing you a lot of grief and maybe that will relieve some of that burden!

I can totally understand sometimes feel like there is nothing that I can do in my life but see this you own life n the world is beautiful there are a lot of things that you can do you just have to explore so many things and you'll definitely find something that you would love to do it'll not only make you happy but you'll also feel proud while doing that. Just believe in yourself. Motivation works temporary but when you're self motivated no one can stop you. So only remember one thing that you have to do something for yourself so that you don't have any regret.

Go out to find some points. I mean go and find meaning. Start by paying attention to small things. Find beauty around you. There are great things outside of you. Find the sense of awe. When you realize how wonderful it is to experience beauty and wonder, you may be able to feel grateful about your existence. Often time we feel hopeless because we are blind to so many great things. We are trapped in our own heads. So get out of your head. Maybe you can start thinking about doing small things to make life more meaningful. You live on.

I can completely empathize with that feeling. It can be quite suffocating. Usually what I have learned from when I feel that way is because I have so many suppressed feelings and thoughts that they are beginning to seep out of my "ice fortress" and draining me. Sometimes all you can do is just talk out your feelings and thoughts to someone, acknowledge the existence of those thoughts and feelings, cry if those tears spill until you feel lighter. Forcing yourself to feel hopeful from a depressive state is unfair on yourself. You can, however, allow yourself to feel lighter by not denying the thoughts and feelings you have. Healing takes time but eventually, you get there. I hope you feel better, love.

I have experienced this and I definitely know how it feels to not have a purpose to live. All I can say is that this is the best time to find something you are passionate about! Discovering new hobbies and talking to people who make you feel better rather than bringing you down will help - this can be anyone from a close family member to someone who you are in the process of becoming friends with. Just focus on the things that make you happy, and you will learn to love to live for them. Take care and stay safe!

Life is all about ups and downs. Happiness only lasts for so long. And if your feeling less motivated or that its pointless living. It's not. I promise it will get better. Instead of waking up or going to sleep with dread just say Today I'm going to be happy. And don't let anyone bring you down. find your fire. I know you can do it. And remember your not alone in this fight. If your ever feeling down or just need someone to talk to feel free to message me. I'm here for you and I love u. I hope this answers your question.

I understand that at times we may feel like everything we are working for is pointless. Especially when we don't see the results immediately. In those times, we must stay strong and clearly remember our goals. Sometimes writing them on a piece of paper, and displaying it where we can see it often (eg: above your study desk), can help keep you driven. Start one day at a time. Plan out all your time with a schedule, but don't forget to give yourself some time off, too! Try and stick to the plan as much as you can, but don't get upset in case you are not as productive as you had hoped. Sometimes the results are not obvious and prompt when you are working towards something, but please dont get discouraged. Work hard towards your goals!
