What’s the point of living?

I just don’t see life as worth living. I will be 26 in a few days, and yes I see that everyone struggles and even feels the same exact way that I feel. But idk, I just feel like I can’t do it. I still live with my mom annd me annd her anre constantly clashing and some days I just feel very depressed and anxious. I would really love nothing more than to leave but Im just not sure if I can manage life on my own. Nowadays they want you to make 3x what they charge for rent, and im just so tired at this point in my life and I barely even have bills to pay. I don’t understand how people manage and survive all this. I just feel like im amongst the weak. I can’t do this life. I really don’t want to. Im weighing the choices of continuing living this life or just ending it early and finally being at peace. Death sounds so much better than continuing to live in this system. It’s just come to a point where I hate everything. I love my parents, but I hate them for bringing me here and barely knowing what to do with me. I low key hate God for having a part in this. Im not grateful for life no matter how much I try to remind myself that I have shelter. I hate myself. There feels like theres no point in my existence. I will literally kill myself if I have children and see any part of myself in them. I don’t see a family tree extending from me at all. I just hate all of this and don’t see a point. I try so hard to tell myself other people go through this, and even worse. But I’m just at a point where I dont want to be alive anymore, I just don’t want to do this. Does anyone have any advice?

You don't know from where you came, and you don't know where you will go after death. Will that place be better from your current circumstances?, would it give you options to improve your circumstances there?

At least you know you have a hope & possibility to improve your circumstances here. First of all you have to learn to live with positivity & happiness. Positivity doesn't require you to live in good circumstances, it means you are positive for the your past, present & future, irrespective of your past experiences, current circumstances.

Similarly, happiness is an internal situation. Someone can be happy in the worst circumstances, and vice versa. The happiest people don't have the best things in their lives, but they appreciate what they have. Learning to live joyfully with things you do not like is a huge lesson in life.

To create an outside situation you need the cooperation of other people & forces. To create an inner situation you only need yourself.

@ABCDEF7 if I’m being completely honest, I think I will end up in hell if I die now, that’s part of the reason I’m so scared to actually it.

I needed to hear wisdom, and this most certainly did it for me. Do you have any advice on how I can stay happy even though I feel like I’m in the middle of the worst situation right now?
Thank you for taking the time to write this by the way.

@Edashh2399 Well, I personally believe that there is no such place as hell or heaven. Hell & heaven is what you make your life here on this earth. You don't know if you are making a hell out of heaven here by mentally torturing yourself just with your approach towards life. I do believe in reincarnation, but that's a different philosophy.

First thing is don't make circumstances worst in your mind. I bet there can be worst circumstances than you are facing right now. Always see the things as they are. Looking things in a pessimist way makes you depressed, on the other hand looking things in optimistic way makes you hallucinate. Both are not good for you.

Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all."[/i] – Norman Vincent Peale

Do whatever best you can do to improve the circumstances. You should find satisfaction & happiness in whatever action you are doing because that is what is in your hands. Don't try to find happiness in the outcome of your actions because it involves external forces which are not in your hands.
