Hi Miracle88,
I don’t know exactly what you are going through, but I have felt the same way as you. I know what it likes to feel hopeless. Even if you are feeling horribly, you can still can still create hope. You are still so young.
When I was going through something similar, reading and learning new things really helped me to get out of my own mind. Duolingo is a great way to strengthen your mind while not thinking about your problems. I was doing it at a bar last night and the combination of the atmosphere, alcohol, and learning really made me feel a whole lot better.
There are also a lot of books that can help. I would recommend “Nothing Special” by Charollote Joko Beck, “Radical Acceptance” by Tara Branch, and “The Art of Living: The Classic Manual on Virtue, Happiness, and Effectiveness” by Epictetus and Sharom Lebell are all books that helped me when I was struggling.
