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?

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".

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

Omg same ! :/ , but you should surround yourself by friends , family , a lot of people love you and you do belong to here in this world no one deserves to die , I hope your gonna be okay.

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.

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.

you should try to work on your problems. being hopeful,reading stories about successful people and seeing motivational videos won't help and in somepoint actually these things could bring up depression. i see and from my experience,the best solution is to write down your good and bad things,write down if you have anger issues, trust issues,anxiety.. anything you want to change even if you don't believe that change will matter.. just try and with the first small thing or bad habit you change you will start feeling better,having better version about yourself and here comes the motivation to complete and do it all again.

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!

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..

See a Dr and find out how your thyroid functions . How many days do u feel depressed ? Are you taking vitamin D ? Is it lack of sunlight that causes your depression ? Have u had to be on antidepressants? What causes you to be happy and hopeful ? Keep a journal about what you are grateful about , Do you have a hobby ? Do you feel isolated and alone ? Did you have a Trauma you have not dealt with ? What emotions are you repressing ? Find a friend or minister or counselor to talk to important . Get excercise.

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.

I'm finding that making small steps every day/week helps. Positive experiences, like having a nice conversation or solving a small problem, can help you feel more hopeful. An achievable routine everyday can be good, as you'd be achieving small things everyday and feeling more hopeful. If everything is messed up, then you can start with the smallest problems, and then maybe even break up the bigger problems into smaller, more achievable steps. It's nice to have things to look forward to, as well. It's also good to ask for help and support when you feel overwhelmed, so well done for doing that.

Feeling hopeful means living in something that lies in the future. Waiting for something to happen takes away the power from the present moment, from living in the only "time" that exists, the present, where life unfolds. Every part of our lives unfolds in the present, not in the past which has gone and cannot be changed, not in the future that doesn't exist because when things happen, even the ones we hoped for, they manifest in the now, in the present. To bring balance and equanimity in your life, you've got to start not relying on self-motivation which, when isn't based on wisdom comes and goes like a winter storm but to live fully and completely in the present moment. When you wash your hands, when you drive, when you look at a tree or a flower, when you look at life passing in front of you on the road, the life made of busy people, people sitting on a bench eating an ice-cream, when you are utterly immersed in the way life unfolds, when you are completely aware, when your senses are completely awake and make you experience even the tiniest details of life, that's when you feel you resonate with the universe and everything around you and that abides inside of 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.

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.

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

This is a difficult place to be in, because the usual answer is just to find some reason to get up in the morning, or find something that you're passionate about. While these are good ideas, sometimes depressive feelings can overpower your motivation. I've found that not everything needs to be on such a large scale. Small things can change your mindset for the long-run. Even if it's as small as getting to pet the neighborhood dog, or hearing that one friend's laugh- every little thing helps. If you can first begin to see more worth in the smallest of joys, then you can go on to find bigger, better things to work for.

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 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.

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!

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.

I felt like that for a long time and I've seen many people in a similar situation. The most common reason motivation doesn't work is that it's not aligned to our purpose. It was certainly the case for me, when I pursued a career that made me feel like I'm wasting my time in a job that makes fair money, but is giving me nothing more, leaving me feeling like I'm wasting my life on Earth. I had a vague idea what my purpose is, but I haven't seen it as a sane career choice. When I connected to this purpose and found the courage to follow that purpose, my life got much better, I became more grounded, more sure of my worth, feeling in peace with myself and the universe. We're so drawn to the reality of paying bills and having our image in the society that we often forget who we really are. Breaking out from that is not easy. I had to stop lying to myself and had to be able to make the leap of faith, trusting that things will work out. I had to look where I was afraid to look. In an essence, I had to die as the old person and reborn as a new one. The most important thing I've learnt? Follow your soul, it already knows where it wants to go. In the end, it's pretty simple – just not easy.

I would start making moves to push your life in the direction that you want it to go in. If you don't like your life than you should change it to suit your preferences.

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.
