I am serious, how can y'all keep going? I struggle. Like really struggle to keep taking a step forward. How are y'all able to do it? I am looking at the end of the tunnel and all I see is darkness but y'all keep seeming to find a light and I need to know how you do it.

Work towards something to benefit the situation.
If you shut down, you just fall further into despair and you just become a burden.
It does not have to be big. It does not have to benefit everyone.
It could range anywhere from striving to reach an emergency food goal for yourself and/or your family to running for a political position.
Whatever you decide, have it be a clear, definable goal.
Not something like "lose weight"... instead make it "get down to 'specific weight' so I will be in shape to better defend myself."
If you are actively working towards a goal, it gives you more of a feeling of control. It drives away the helplessness.
It can also encourage others to find a similar goal.
It is still hard, and some days are worse than others... especially when you see the POTATUS signing EOs that directly affect your goal, but if you are stubborn enough, you can just dust yourself off and keep moving towards it.
