How do you keep having hope when everything seems to get worse ?

Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask you, how do you keep living even when everything seems to get worse ?

Everything was going pretty ok in my life, my mental health was getting better, I got a major surgery 6 months ago and everything went great (besides some minor complications going on right now but nothing serious) and I've been making progress at being more positive everyday and trying to be hopeful. But on the other hand, my mother's health is not getting better, our family dog is also not doing very well.. We had some issues with my mom's documentation, hired a lawyer and now we have 15k of fees to pay, knowing that I am myself in debt because of insurance and my sister as well. I was trying to get my driving license so I can get a 3rd job and also to be able to take my mom to medical appointements but in the country where I live it's extremely expensive... I'm also looking for a better job for over a year and I can't even manage to get an interview... I'm getting tired, and I feel like I'm drowning.. how do you guys keep going when you have so many issues ? Looking at the positive side of life is not enough for me...
It's hard to keep the will to live and keep going forward no matter what, and seeing everything going around in the world makes everything worse 😫

Thank you for reading my venting post, wish you guys a nice weekend !
