Heave a deep sigh. How unfortunate it must be to click on this article and think 'this might help me'. You wake up every day with that dread in your chest that shows up on your face like a brand.

People would tell, you look tired and you would feel awful because in fact, you haven't done anything to be so exhausted but you are. You stay at home, in your bed, in your head, as you rethink your purpose.

It doesn't even matter if you're jobless or excelling in your career, getting that diploma or failing a semester, losing a loved one to death or losing a loved one to a third party, you just feel insignificant.

Being useless is a state of mind. You are what you think you are and that's regrettably agreeable. We became who are thoughts are but here's what you can do whenever that happens. Let it happen. Let your thoughts run wild. Let it ruin you in echoes. Let it hammer you like a nail on wood. Be friends with your demons. I'm useless? Sure am, not new. Through that you will learn self-acceptance and you would just get used to it. Sounds so morbid, right? The trick is not to accept, don't get used to it. Ask yourself why you are useless. I bet your words will slurr and you'll just hurl curses or cry because you can't even understand why. Go against it, no one's ever useless. No matter what you are or what you do.

If the other side is winning, find an outlet, a diversion. You can create your own garden as wide as a meter or as narrow as a pot. Give life to a tomato or to a flower and see, who's useless now? You've let something grow even though you're wilting inside. As much as possible avoid all illicit things. Try something foreign, learn more about yourself. What you love, what you used to love. You can also self-pity if the latter's too cringe. But don't forget your accomplishments regardless of  how minute they were. What you do when you feel useless is not the whole picture of who you are. You go get drunk. You go become crazy. You go so still you've got roots on your heels. 

Whatever you do to cope with that mental weariness, do it with caution and awareness. Someone out there thinks that life is good because you're in it; may they be a familiar face, a stranger, or a fur-coated little beast. Even the word useless isn't useless, I mean that says same thing towards you.
