A Letter of the alphabet To You lot, For When Life Feels Pointless

Dear Y'all,

We know that life feels pointless right now. We understand how monotonous everything can go. What it'due south like to feel totally and utterly worn down past trying to stay adrift. Information technology can grind usa down until we have no energy left at all. Until we begin to wonder what the point of it all really is.

A Letter To You, For When Life Feels Pointless

We see you lot. Nosotros come across how hard yous are working to hold things together. How keeping things ticking over is a superhuman achievement right now. Peradventure y'all don't ever manage to wear a clean jumper, or even get dressed every day. But yous're doing your best. You're trying your best to take the medication you've been prescribed, go on the firm running, look after any dependants, manage your money, and maybe, on a good day, wave a damp fabric around the kitchen.

Life tin grind united states down. When we're actually low, it can be hard to discover any meaning in our life. We often search for reasons to alive. Reasons to keep going with everything when it'due south so exhausting. A glimmer of hope on the horizon that offers us a reason to keep pouring energy into the daily grind. It can be then hard to find this meaning, especially when nosotros feel rubbish. Without meaning, everything tin can feel pointless. 'Keeping things going' becomes even harder when nosotros tin can't encounter the betoken in it.

Even though it feels pointless – nosotros're still doing it.  The fact that nosotros're all the same waking upward each morning time and trying to face the day in the best manner nosotros know how shows how tenacious we are.

When life feels pointless, and we're struggling to detect whatsoever significant in the things nosotros're doing or to think of any reasons to live, suicidal thoughts tin become louder. They can jump up and cloud our mind, using our lack of reasons to live, and lack of significant, as 'bear witness'. When this happens, and we can't notice whatever promise, it tin can help to reach out to a friend, family fellow member, or professional, for some support.

Nosotros're allowed to cry, to scream, to get upset, and to feel frustrated at how unfair all of this is. We are allowed to 'feel' full stop. Nosotros're immune to take upwardly space to ask for hugs, to ask for the support that we need, and to answer to our needs. We deserve back up. Nosotros're important, our life is important, and nosotros deserve to feel safe.

Unfortunately, there isn't a magic meaning-finding formula. There are times when no matter how hard we try life continues to feel pointless. Sometimes we just accept to go on putting one foot in forepart of the other until we're able to find some significant again.

Sometimes when life feels pointless, it's because nosotros experience stuck. We know that nosotros're not where we want to be in life but might not know what it is we do want, or how to get there. Life can feel pointless because we're putting all of our time and energy into things that aren't fulfilling us, so we feel empty. At times similar these, it tin be helpful to brainstorm loads of dissimilar options – fifty-fifty if information technology's blue-sky thinking and the things nosotros come up with feel totally out of our achieve. We could try irresolute something – fifty-fifty if it's something really small like what nosotros take for breakfast. Making piddling changes can shake things upward and can help to re-ignite the ideas office of our encephalon. Possibly nosotros could try something new – giving things a go could lead to united states find a passion for something that we'd never even thought about before.

We demand to cut ourselves some slack. We are not pointless, and our life is not pointless. Our unrealistic expectations of ourselves tin can go out us feeling useless, and pointless because we never feel every bit though nosotros're enough. The contributions nosotros make to gild feel pointless because other people take contributed more than. But other'due south contributions do non invalidate our contributions. Other people's achievements don't invalidate our ain achievements. Nosotros are enough. Our life is not pointless.

If you are feeling as though life is pointless right now, nosotros're non expecting you to get out of bed and run a marathon. Nosotros hear y'all. Nosotros're standing alongside you lot. We hope that you're able to do a little bit of self-care. We hope that you can think back to all of the times that you've coped with hard stuff before and that y'all recognise how potent you are. We hope that you feel able to proceed putting one foot in forepart of the other for another day and that you're able to attain out for the back up you demand.

Lots of love,

The Blurt Team 10
