Im failing to see the point

[Raven2]

I am genuinely at a loss and am failing the see the point in life. I dont think I can do another 40/50 odd years of this shit.

Abandonment seems to be a common theme in my life over the years and looks like it's going to happen again. I think it will be the last straw for me. Everyone just leaves. Maybe I'm just too flawed to be loved.
I had a pretty good life up until a few years ago, my mental health worsened and I had a breakdown which lead to another chain of events. I am where I am and cannot change the past.

Life is cruel, I read the news everyday it's just full of depressing stories, all I read is murders, rapes assualts etc. today there was someone who committed a chemical attack on random strangers. What the hell is wrong with people. 2 wars happening rn with the threat of ww3.
I dont want to live in a world like this anymore.

True. it seems that is what sells these days, just the sensationalized bad stuff.
Its a bit difficult to find good news, i think.

There isn't any point, if we are talking about "ultimate meaning" or things on that kind of level. But once we have accepted that, there may be things that give meaning on a day-to-day basis. We may have goals that make life meaningful in the short term. For example, for many years I have been working on a scientific research project that interests me, and I hope to live long enough to publish a book on it. That gives me a reason to get up in the morning. I think it's entirely possible to combine that kind of short-term motivation with a recognition that there is no ultimate purpose in life.
