Do you ever feel hopeless about your future?

[Anonymous]

Somehow i can’t picture a good life when i try to imagine myself 10 years from now. Im kind of bad at life. It makes me feel so hopeless. I have a boyfriend and he talks about our future all the time, but it just makes me uncomfortable. He’s also very positive and ambitious, which is great, but its all very odd to me. Do you have a good picture of your future?

I can say I'm not living the future I imagined at your age. I thought I'd either be dead by now or wishing that I was. Despair helps people be objective about how to achieve their goals but the catch 22 is despair also diminishes the appeal of those goals. If you trudge through the mud and make yourself plan objectively despite not really wanting to plan at all, you'll thank yourself when the despair goes away - and it always does.

I did.

After being "raised" by constantly being told i'm lazy, stupid, a pig, good for nothing with no future and other insults AND being stranded in a shithole while starving, sick and being in need of paid hospital treatments? I fought my way out. It took me all my childhood and teenage years and my 20s until i was 27 years old to gain a grip over my own life.

Now i live alone and live with none of the above anymore. i don't talk to my "family".
