Consider moving to the country and learning a trade. Many modern problems are also intensely urban in nature. If you are fending for yourself in a small town with a good job you will feel better, most likely.

We lost a battle. The real fight has only begun and it's waged within each of us. Don't leave yet, the ending will be worth it, I think.

Dude... You're 21. Do what you can, when you can, where you are. That said, you have ZERO CONTROL over what other people say or do. Your 'lived experience' is still in its infancy.

Concentrate on self improvement. Help others, but not at the cost of yourself. You've barely begun 'building yourself' at this point.

Make a list of what you want for yourself, what you have to do to get there, and work for it. Then recognize and accept that things aren't going to go your way all the time and you'll have to reassess and adjust.

Believing that "The Government" in any form is going to fix things for you is a pipe dream... Not. Going. To. Happen... EVER.

Congratulations. You're finally an adult with all the freedoms to fail or succeed by your choices and action... The exact thing you couldn't wait to do when you were younger.

There's nothing new in this, as every person growing up has had to deal with this in one form or another. For some it is easier with the help they've received and taken. For many others, it's been far worse.

Im your age too, and while i can share your concern about your family, especially in this situation, you have to do well for yourself first. Made a decision to bring you into the world, to carry on their legacy, it would be even more disrespectful if you threw it all away. Failure(suicide) is not an option! As for feeling that everything is over due to not achieving anything. You need to remember that you are 21, you have a LONG Way to go. Its good that you are thinking about this now, what about our peers? They are screwed! You only have agency for yourself and i suggest you should start with meditation. You need to clear your mind, you are thinking about too many things you have no control over. Your family made the choice to do these things, you made the choice to follow your way, you MUST Continue to follow your way. Your family can only know how good your path is, when they see you doing well. You are the "Chosen one" of this story. I also suggest looking into trades or hobbies to build stuff. I write code in my normal day, but I have a hobby of Learning Blender, video-Editing, and im getting into LMMS(its like audacity). Remember bro, a Idle mind is the devils playground! You can do it. You aren't alone, and you will never be alone. Finally, you need to make peace with yourself mentally, Why do you hate yourself? Is every reason why you hate yourself in your control? Are you being too hard on yourself? What about you short term can you change to make better? You need to ask these questions and complete these minor improvements. Even something as simple as clean your room, or dishes. Its a task that needs completing. I may not know your situation, but this is a battle you must win, goodluck pede! We got your back!

Fren stay strong . Many are in similar situations. I went from finally getting where I wanted to be in jan2020?to total uncertainty and a very questionable future. But we must Fight through all obstacles. You did what u could for those who choose the vax. We will win and will see victory and have stories to tell about it.

Find a hobby that elevates your mind and distracts you from politics and current affairs for a while. Unwind. Go do volunteer work to feed the needy. Do something selfless every once in a while.

Use your frustration for good. Become a warrior and find your purpose.

Its obvious you are passionate about your country. Your passion is needed in this war. Those who are chosen in the fight against evil will have to endure some hardship to toughen you up.

When my kids start feeling defeated with life I ask them, "has there ever been a time when things didnt work out?" Dont worry about life, it will work out. Sometimes defeat is simply to point you in a different direction. You will be fine.

You cannot redeem yourself, only Jesus can redeem you. When He saves you, you start over with a Cleansed Slate.

Yea, you sound like you need to get some help there bud. You are coming across a bit like a Leftie on the day Trump got elected.

As I always tell people in your situation: In 10,000 years... nobody is going to care.
