Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
As the title says, I've lost all hope for the future.

Between personal life issues and everything going on in the world, I don't see a point anymore.

I'm depressed, sad, angry and disappointed to say the least.

I'm sickened by the way everything is being handled. I'm worried and frustrated by what's going on personally.

I don't know anymore.

Stop reading news sites for a while. If you're on Twitter remove it, even take a break from this forum for a while in particular the politics section.
That's one issue sorted.

Otherwise, I can't speak for your personal issues. Can you give a little more detail if you're able to? Relationship issues family issues?

It’ll all blow over, as a suggestion turn off the TV, get off the internet and any other electronic devices and just tune it all out.
We’ve all had rough patches it’s how you deal with them that will make you stronger
You have us if you want to vent, stay strong bro.

Use the force of saltiness inside of you to improve yourself, I've been there and I was able to pull through, you can do it too.

Do something you normally would not do.
If you do not work out, get a gym pass and get a P.E. that shows you some basic work out routine.
Any chess club in your area?
Any volunteering for a local cat shelter going on?

Something to break the monotony is important in situations like yours. The worst thing you can do is sit in front of your computer or even tv. This is one of those issues where video games unfortunately wont help much.

I can empathize. I had a brain injury that left me at a permanent 50% (on good days). I have 3 kids and struggle to maintain composure in the face of the insanity going on in the world.

I won’t presume to know you or your struggles specifically. But what I can say is that life is hard for most people. We have to be tougher and get on with it with our chins in the air.

Seek professional help if you need it. There’s absolutely no shame in that. I hope your situation improves.

I've noticed that listening to music really helps my mood. Also try to find something to do so you keep your mind occupied (I do level designing as a hobby as well as the more usual stuff like working out, going for a walk/running etc.). Sitting around doing nothing is one of worst thing you can do to be honest.

Strongly suggest doing a full session of cognitive behavioural therapy. It will not only shift your perspective from despair and hopelessness, but will level up your coping mechanisms to better deal with situations in the future.

Also there’s actually very little in thIs world that you should give a single flying fuck about. It’s all noise and bullshit.

Think about 3-5 things that are actually worthy of your fucks and forget the rest.

Always give a fuck about yourself first and foremost, your family and your friends.

Keep your life simple. Keep yourself good, keep good people close and let go off all the nonsense.

My goals are now this:

- Find new appartment to get rid of family (they are full of negativity)
- Reestablish your own daily routine again (Like Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Gym - this doesnt exist in my family. They wake up sometime around midday and then eat one meal in the afternoon)
- Find a new job that can just pay your bills and helps getting your wife moving in.
- As soon as wife is here... help her find job.
- After that go back to write my sci-fiction/fantasy novel

Dont care for anybody else. I just have to do my thing.

My wife, my life, my family. Rest doesnt matter.

I just have to be patient until that Corona shit is finally gone.

First, stop paying so much attention to the problems out in the world. Especially the ones that don’t directly impact your life right now. So unless there is an Antifa/BLM riot outside your house, just ignore that shit. That doesn’t apply to everybody, but when your actual life is suffering, you don’t have the bandwidth to deal with the world’s troubles.

You need to focus on the things that you can actually do something about.

The media is in the business of scaring you to death, it makes you easier to control. Stop paying attention to all the shit they are saying the world is in, it does you no amount of good. Turn the news off, stop reading the 24/7 spewing bile of doom and gloom bullshit on the Internet. You'll be a lot happier.

Also do something fun for yourself, play a video game or something I dunno.

Like miyazaki said : seek god, do your research, use your head.
You are not alone everyone deals with problems & strugles, everything bad you have going on in your life, we dealing with the same things, just different circumstances.

Feel free to vent here, man. It can only help to get things off of your chest. It does sound like it's hitting you particularly hard, but just know most people capable of rational thought are frustrated with our current state of affairs. I don't know what currently irks you personally, but just know, you're not alone in your general feelings of frustration. My advice in this regard would be to cut back on news for a while if that's part of your daily routine. A lot of what we're being fed from the more popular outlets is one-sided, further adding to those feelings of annoyance, and is dependent on keeping people in this perpetual state of fear. It's not healthy for anyone to consume too much of this trash.

We're a friendly lot. Hopefully you can find some respite in the light-hearted stuff you'll find here.

I've been doing that a lot and only now have I seen it put to words.

OP, don't worry about things that are not under your control. Worry about the things that are and build from there. I've been at points in my life where I think I've hit rock bottom, but from bitbydeath has said, you can only build a foundation from there.

I throw my fists in the air to get rid of my frustrations... Also great exercise too! I bought way too much plastic model kits and I need to finish them. They help get my mind clean without thinking/reading dumb shit, especially these past few days.

Turn off the news. They want you miserable. Prevail over it. Don’t let them win.

Sad and afraid people are easy to control. Don’t be one of them.

Fear and regret only thrive in the past and the future build up by your mind.

Try to live as much as possible in THIS moment.

None of these things can exist at this specific moment in time.

Try to spend more and more time in THIS moment, just enjoying life as it is NOW and not where it went wrong in the past or might be difficult in the future.
