I'll echo what others have said. Stop worrying about the things you can't change and instead concentrate on the things that you can, namely yourself.

Force 24 hours away from social media, forums and news sites.

If you find you can do it, try multiple days. Everything is presented in a way to purposely titillate us. That's how they all get clicks and views. Our brains aren't supposed to know every bad thing happening in every square inch of the globe at all times.

Without knowing what you're going through, OP (except our shared hellscape), all I can say is: know that other people have gone through much worse, and made it through all right. Months, years, decades later, things got better. And I say this without trivializing your problems, hopefully. I've been through really dark times, and I'm going through some shit right now too.

Sometimes, reminding yourself that it could be worse feels like you're giving yourself patronizing advice. Other times ... it helps.

Find ways forward. Find things to work toward and look forward to. Find ways to lighten your psychological burden. Revise and retool as necessary, as time goes on.

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.
Just stop watching the news bro.
 
These feeling come from anticipation/expectation - from an idea of an imaginary world. Let go of the idea that life "ought" to be this way or that.

Let it all go and be the unfolding adventure. Walk fearlessly into the unknown.
 
Twitter is not real life. Take a break from the Internet.

Only 1 party wants to shut down the country due to the China virus. That party also wants to tear the country apart in a new revolution. Weigh your choices carefully.
