I don't know if it'll be likely, but I sometimes fear that more and more people will start to lose their will to live or eventually take their own lives as sort of an escape from reality.
Why do I think that? It's because I'm witnessing some of Earth's populace starting to become too hopeless for the future as a result of political, social, economic, environmental, digital and corporate burden that some countries are in right now.
So, I might be able to prevent those thoughts from winning by giving you advice on what do to.
- Talk to your friends and/or family about your worries for the future, as they might offer you solutions to combating them.
- Take a break from the noisy news and doomposting, or find alternatives to uplift your faith in humanity again like Britain ditching coal power in more than hundred years.
- Use something you'd like to do as a sort of escapism like the internet (I use old web revivals), games, sport, going on a walk and playing with your pets (if you have one).
- Remember that most of earth's populace is moral and that your life is very important.
Do you feel better? Good, because the universe still loves you no matter what happens on this Earth.

Honestly, this first part of your post described me perfectly, I'm losing my will to do anything, I don't even have motivation to brush my teeth anymore, shit is only getting worser and worser and I don't see a reason to have hope anymore, I just gave up already, I'm a trans girl living in a very conservative town, my grandpa workships a infamous transphobic politician that constantly uses trans people as scapegoats, I genuinely wonder if I'll be even able to start hrt at any point and I've been trying to look for any job for several months and all I go was either rejections or the companies just ghosting me.
Sincerely, at this point, I may aswell be dead already, this body is only alive for family and (few) friends. I don't care anymore, I'm a pathetic joke, nobody ever took me seriously and nobody ever will. I try to adopt a fatalistic perspective to atleast give me a few motivation, but then I get anxious over the future and for myself dying to bigotry that it just resets back.
Sorry for venting, I just need to get it out of my mouth, if you still have hope, good for you, you are way more resilient than I could ever be

I also feel dead, because I am quite a lazy person.
Although, please do try your best to refrain from self-harm, as you might miss out on the positives that are happening this decade.
