Knowing how screwed the world is got me more depressed

Hehehe , it was always the case there was no time humanity had peace war was always waged people were always suffering others were lucky to live a stable life with no wars or diseases others not so much... You get to see the world in a bit more unstable state currently and thanks to the internet you can know way more than any time before , i guess our minds arent fit for this amount of information as we always we mostly lived with our society and that was really it.

So dont feel depressed humans will be humans no matter what i hope this makes you a bit better knowing we lived like this for all history.

Don't worry about things you can't change now focus on what matters for you its ok if you stay in touch with the world but don't make it your number 1 concern.

Everyone care about something, friends, family, those who are less fortunate than others, yet despite everything, we live, we care, you have a good heart. keep it strong and safe. The world needs kindness, there's already too much conflict already in the world.

Scars leave an imprint of the past and the present, yet it only remains in the future as a reminder, nothing more.

But I have to worry about the others

Worrying about others is something others like your family friends etc , sure have sympathy for those going through suffering try to help if its possible but if you cant do anything what good is it to sit down and cry and whine? Its good that you care you need to care to do stuff.

Worrying about others is great!
However, only if you can do something about it.

And actually you can do something!
Be happy, so your friends become happy too!
I think each of us can affect the world only to some point... so i always like to make the people that i can affect, happy!
There's no need to do something real big... even small things can have an effect! and that effect can result in better chain effects!
And you might not believe this, but many people in this site become very happy whenever they see you in good mood!
You are powerful! don't underestimate yourself!

I think it's my fault my brother behaves like that but I don't wanna elaborate

Ask yourself one question then, In lightheartedness, are you questionable for your brother's actions ?
You may choose to help them, but you cannot change who they are, he'll understand it in the future. Time is the best of teachers after all. Don't sweat it.

He mostly doesnt shut up and is hyperactive

Aah, got it, don't worry, been there, done that, it actually dies down as time goes on. It's the question of patience and acceptance.

Yeah but he wasnt that much like that when he was a toddler

impulsiveness does take the mask off after a certain age, though rarely after the age of 15 to 12, I believe this will take some time to "Adjust". Just keep calm and be strong. It'll help him to be more responsible in the future, maybe even find something to divert his attention in, to pour his activeness in.

Well he likes watching YouTube videos, playing games, and watching stuff like the owl house and Steven universe and amphibia

Anything in the "Active" side, like playing with others or physically active? Might I suggest keeping him away from short content, you know ?
Note: I am not an expert in these stuff, I happen to have a bit of knowledge/ experience in these things.

 

[Xdqwerty]

I guess

 

[Samatonic]

Hmm, not the answer I was looking for, but still maybe playing some outdoor activities might help burn up some of the hyper activeness and it will transfer to a more active mind, rather than just a pent up bottle of explosions ready to bust.

I meant to say that I recall him doing that stuff before

My apologies, I misunderstood your comment.

My general take to such a task would be to spend sometime with him, tell him of a structured time table like "I will play with you from this till this" and maybe something they can do or play in there past time. The more active he is, the less energy he'll have in the tank. And lastly, best of luck to ya.

I've been doing well lately, or so I think, but let's just say I wasn't prepared for the world.

I don't know if it's anxiety, trauma, or some other disorder, although the only thing I'm somewhat sure of is that I have depression, just because of very obvious signs, since I can't go to therapy. The only thing I'm sure of is: uncertainty. I don't know what problems I have or don't have, except for probably some trauma, or that I knew the smell of blood the hard way.

I've been living locked up for quite some time, and all I know is that when I get out, I'll have a very hard time, and who knows if I'll survive. Even though I'm young, and I hope to be a father someday, I can only realize that I'm not capable of that in any way. I would say I'm afraid of the outside, although I still don't know how much, I just know that I don't like going out. I don't know what I'll do next, when I have to take care of myself permanently, when I don't have my family who, basically, didn't teach me how to take care of myself, at least not properly (Has anyone else here been taught to be afraid of crossing a road?).

In the end, I guess it all comes down to uncertainty: uncertainty about my mental issues, uncertainty about my future, uncertainty about my wishes and hopes, the few I have left, uncertainty about almost everything... Maybe that's why I like Majora's Mask so much.

The only things I have no doubt about are: whenever I can, I'll have fun with the few people I meet, even if it's just people on the internet, and also, I love my pets, and I regret a few things.

I can relate to much of what you've said.

This unsettling uncertainty is actually one of the facts life hides under its many veils. Don't think less of yourself for feeling this way, because it's a very usual companion for pretty much any human being.

I'm not a sage, nor do I possess a wellspring of wisdom, the things you describe I also feel and are questions that form the core of the human condition; all I could tell you is that the only way I found to stave off this sensation is trying to do the best I could in a given moment. Just live from one moment to the next, that's the limit of our reach.

How can I become smart?

 

[NatalieZaki]

i got home last night only to be yelled at and punched in the jaw by my brother i feel so safe in my home

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

Thats the part you don't

On a serious note what does smart even mean to you? Like being able to figure out solutions or be competent? Nah bro you gain these in time you can't expect you are going to be great at something from the get go at best below average or average so dont put too much pressure on yourself for that.

i got home last night only to be yelled at and punched in the jaw by my brother i feel so safe in my home

That hurt i guess.... I have nothing to say but stay safe... If that comforts you
