I'm so sick and tired of living. How can I motivate myself?

just try to find something in life that you are passionate about. i think that doing something charitable is very good for motivation and helping you realize what is important in life. however that is just an example. you will know what you are passionate about in life though. i think that is the key to being happy and motivated. having something to live for. i myself am still looking for what i want to do in my life, but i am learning a lot by searching.

From experience i can't say what kept me going but I know when everything went down hill and hit rock bottom i felt the same. I am in my early twenties as well and may not of got grey hairs but i was put in the hospital due to the stress (i was roughly 220 and then due to stomach problems and not being able to keep food down i lost 45 lbs). I had no where to go just kept doing the same thing making the hole I was already in even deeper. Things got bad for me a little while before and things just weren't going my way stuck in my daily routine with bills and everything collecting up. My friends abandoned me when i had needed them the most (two actually were sleeping around with my gf at the time) I had Just moved out for the first time stuck at a dead end job and barely making a living. Things just didn't make sense and i was Trying to figure out solutions on how I could get my self out of the hole i was in, what i could do and how i would do it.

For me it wasn't a matter of thinking and analyzing the problem. You can think about all the out comes and possibilities but all you are doing is dwelling on the problems by thinking of the solutions. what i found was i needed a complete change from what my life was already at. So i completely changed my career, my goals, basically flipped my life around. It wasn't an over night thing but once you set the wheels in motion things just seemed to start getting better.

I am hoping that helps , and the more you are around the more you realize it is the nice people the people that don't do anything wrong that seem to get hurt and screwed over the most. the world don't make sense and that just the way it is nothing we can do about that.

Last thing when I was going through this all I had told my grandpa that I had hit rock bottom and i had no were to go but up. He told me that I didn't hit rock bottom if I was still digging the hole deeper. Back then I took that as like things were just going to keep spiralling down that hole...

Its only now that i realize that you have to stop digging and get out of the hole.

hope this helps

Well, i would get a job (if you don't have one, make sure you enjoy it), go to the gym helps get rid of stress, go out more, get a dog or cat there are good for stress , take a holiday. Just take it easy, when i have these problem i like to sit down with some tea and think how i'm gonna fix them.
