>>16110251Mental afflictions are obviously a thing, yeah. I'm sorry you're dealing with them. My point was just that, you shouldn't really abandon the potential of things getting better in some form, even if the chances of it ever being good all the time is low. Life could feel miserable overall, but still have moments within where you enjoy it and have it be otherwise. Maybe it's better to go on for the sake of those precious moments, both so you can have them at all and that they're more often, and more comfortable. That really can make life worth putting up with. As long as you put in the effort to get where you're aiming. It's at the very least better than going on simply for the sake of perseverance, at least in my opinion.
So, I guess I don't mean anything that much different than what you said before, that you should still try to make something out of it and get life to not be as bad as it could have been, had you settled for complacency instead. It's just that you need the proper mindset to be able to sustain the motivation to keep doing that, and abandoning hope of any improvement isn't really the one for it. You could keep telling yourself that in the future and end up not doing anything because of it, rather than going on for the hope that you could make things at least a bit better for yourself. Self-fulfillment is still something to be had despite of the things keeping you down, I believe.
Anyway, sorry for the bother, I suppose I do sound pretentious. I wish the best anyhow, good luck. Even if not a totally happy ending, you could have not the worst one possible.
