No job, No car, No hope?

Jimbob77

based on everything you said it is in my view not going to work. he seems a no hoper. maybe he has mental health issues? does he have friends? he must have worked at something over the years?

i know what i am talking about as i am a 40 year old man who has always lived with his parents, never had any friends ever, who doesn't work though has had about 20 jobs 6 months here and there etc, has no car, has about 10 euro in the bank,live in rural location, who gets suicidally depressed when i think of the future,and just despairs desperately,who has been hospitalised twice and feels there is just no point continuing and is deeply deeply unhappy. oh and also has a toddler child from a months long relationship 200km away who i just despair for and haven't seen in over 4 months.

though he might have some attractive traits like being thoughful, he still seems a no hoper like me. sorry to be so blunt

Do you mind me asking, what is stopping you from doing something about your situation?

If you feel hopeless, shouldnt you just do something about feeling hopeless?

And let me tell you, every human on the planet have had feelings at one stage or another feeling hopeless, or useless, or not good enough.

Personally, its just not good enough (to tell myself) that "am useless and its going to be like this forever and this is my lot". I get back up. Knocked down again. And so on.

I wonder what ye tell yourselves?
