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?

I can’t always give advice but i can say hope comes from positivity, having good people in your life can always help through bad times. Spend your time doing things that are worthwhile and try to accomplish one small thing per day. Write a list of things you want to achieve or things you want to finish. Spend a day calmly reviewing and coming up with ideas on how to reorganise your life, whether the problem is money, relationships, school or work, and make sure you communicate with people and explain the situation to them, It can sometimes take the pressure off

I understand the feeling that everything is messed up and the struggles of temporary motivation. One way to look towards the future is to make long-term goals. Then, make shorter-term goals, these should go out no more than 2 years out. Then, make short-term goals. This should be a series of goals that go about a year out but, each only lasts a month or so. Another thing to add to this is to write down daily accomplishments. This can be as big as large events and projects to smaller- but no less significant- activities like waking up, eating, getting dressed. Writing it all down helps to visualize the future, see how your present is aiding in this, and reflect on how you struggled or succeeded in the past.

There comes a time when we all experience some form of hopelessness, some more than others. However, we have to remember that this is not the end and that life still goes on. We have to find happiness within ourselves before we confide in others. Write down your main problems, try to break them down and find the best solutions. If you are struggling with this you can always reach out to someone you can trust and has your best interest at heart. Just remember you are not alone and whatever it is, you got this. Do not compare yourself to others instead remind yourself of the the things that are going well for you.

There are of course a lot of reasons a person may feel lost and hopeless about the future. Finding the reasons can be part of the solution, but even without knowing the reason, there can be helpful strategies. Try a gratitude journal - every day spend a few minutes writing on paper all the good things in your life you can be thankful for. Seek supportive relationships - we all need real friends (in person, not online) who can be with us through hard times. If you are a person with religious orientation, you can seek help from that direction. Professional counselors can also be very helpful.

You should continue motivating yourself . All you need is a push to achieve your aim. Nothing is permanent everything requires a balance for which we need to keep going such as the bicycle. Which is the basic necessity in our life . When we keep on working towards our goal then and only then we can keep our self balanced by emotions and thoughts. This is only the best way to keep balancing our life bicycle. Have a faith in your own journey and take help of people who can supply you motivation without asking anything in return. This is what I feel is the best way to live your life peacefully with a motive.

Life isn't an exact science, it's an adventure. Most people are seeking company, conversation, acceptance, love. But a life of work, commutes, cars, urban landscapes, money...it provides very little of that especially now we are all on the internet and psychological meds, and ashamed of ourselves due to high beauty standards. Try to recognise what induces you to feel awful and if it's programmes on your streaming service or tv subscription complain or don't pay. Buy things that do. Swap channels. Say this makes me feel obsessive, bored, like joining another revolution and refuse. Switch channels, find friends, because loads of them need you too. And free yourself.

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.

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.

My suggestion would be doing something that made you feel more hopeful. Giving back in the community in some way would be very beneficial for you in my opinion. You can find a cause that you enjoy, and go from there. It's a small step, but I think building from that will go a long way. Helping others (or animals) may help build your motivation greatly. It also helps build confidence. You shouldn't feel like you are pointless, or that your life is. You are worth it, and you are here for a reason. Never give up on yourself!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I am so sorry to hear - Have you been looking after yourself recently? Self - care goes a long way in benefiting your mental wellbeing. Even the little things make a difference like getting enough sleep and exercising :) If you have no motivation to do any self-care activities, start small - take it one step at a time. -With meditation : Start with a 5 minute guided meditation before moving onto longer ones. - Exercise - start with walking, before moving onto jogging, etc. - Sleep - if you have trouble sleeping, try breathing exercises and journaling to vent all your feelings. Hope this helps :)

That is a really hard thing to go through! It's always best to remind yourself that you do have a support system, let it be teachers, friends or family. If you're able to tell them your how you're feeling, they'll be able to lift so much weight off your shoulders and they might be exactly what you needed. I'd also recommend working towards a goal. Maybe if you get 1 hour of work done, you can reward yourself with your favourite chocolate or 2 episodes of a show you're watching. That type of thing. In terms of feeling hopeful, remind yourself why you're doing this. Keep thinking about what it will lead to whether it's a job or school or anything. Just remind yourself that everything will pay off in the end!
