How can I motivate myself more?
Lately, I've been struggling to find any motivation at all, I've been trying everything but I still don't have any motivation :')

I've been going through this issue for a long time now. My motivation has been poorer than me after buying too many things I don't need. It is a vicious cycle where we want to do something, but can't bring ourselves to do it, so we just lay down and feel horrible about it.
The issue has gotten a little bit better since I talked to a doctor and was prescribed some psych meds. Have you considered depression, ADHD, or other issues as a potential cause for it? It's easy to overlook these things when we're struggling a lot already. Of course, meds are not a cure-all, but it can definitely help improve things a little. Plus, I do know that certain physical ailments can also contribute to a lack of motivation as well, so it's even more important you get this taken care of.
You are not lazy. Not one bit. You want to do something, but it's like your brain won't allow you to. Don't beat yourself over this!!! I wish you luck.

I don't know what to do with my life
I’m 21, and I feel hopeless. I’m working full-time at a cafe, barely getting by. I hate it but can’t find anything else to do. I don’t know what I want to do, I don’t really feel like I’m good at anything, and nothing really excites me. I feel like all I can do is survive.

Should I cut someone toxic out of my life?
I have someone in my life that I've determined is toxic and doesn't make me feel good. But it's so much more complicated than that – we have history, we've had good times together, and cutting them off completely feels like a big jump that I'm not sure I'm reaady for. If I cut them off, will I experience regret or negative blowback? What might go wrong if I do? Maybe I just need a pep talk...
