What to do when you feel insignificant, hopeless, unimportant or small.

In the world we live in today it’s easy to be overwhelmed with negative emotions. It’s easy to feel small, insignificant, worthless or hopeless. Here is what I do to remind myself I still have a life to live and a job to do.

I realise I'm watching this 2 years after it was posted. I've been struggling with my faith and depression lately and I'm rarely interested in listening. You made me feel heard and you were the one talking. Thank you and I might listen to this regularly

Thank You. I feel like the devil has me with this lately. I feel so insignificant. When I look at social media there's a lot of people doing a lot of things and it's overwhelming and I feel so small. Thanks for the advice. Any baby steps to get out of this mindset please Chaplain? God bless you Brother 😢❤❤🙏

Excellent! Well needed in this great hour of trial. I told you I am among the many with Covid-19!
I even had double pnuemonia with this. But God has clearly touched me. The nurses have commented how well I am doing!
God is in control! I give God the Glory!
God has given me the assurance that He is NOT through with me yet!
That He still has plans for me today and plenty to do!

Holy crap, you nailed so much with this one!
I just read a blog about biblical characters with depression, and king David was featured with passages from psalm 38. Well I went to read the entire chapter and it reads like a depression checklist! How interesting that a few days later you hit on the same guy and the same issue!
Your list idea is something that I figured out, and I credit it with beginning my road to recovery. I made a deal with my darkest self: I could kill myself all I wanted to, but only after I took care of certain obligations. I wrote down the things I had to do soon, fix the sink, drive the kids to an appointment, etc.. But then I went further. I have to teach my boy to shave, and walk my daughters down the aisle, hold my grandchildren. I went for the pipe dreams, witness a man landing on Mars, pat a de-extinct woolly mammoth, own an antique car. I made my list so long and filled it with so much, that by the end of it I saw just how important I really am, just everything that I am responsible for, how many people are relying on me... my final entry on that list ended up being "die an old man, surrounded by those who love me."
These days I have been much more focused on becoming the best version of me, because I can't change the world for good, if I am a mess inside. I stalk the comments section of certain videos, particularly suicide by cop videos, looking for that one comment from the person saying "I think I'll kill myself." I jump right in and tell the person that they are loved, that they are not alone, that things look tough now, but that they don't have to do it alone.
I actually get positive responses not infrequently, and I know that the only reason I can do it, is because God started working in my life before I even knew or believed. God showed me how important I was with my list, he gave me the courage to get a better job, he sent me to church, got my diet in order, helped me organize my financial life, work on my anger, put me back together and told me "there's still folks living in their own hell. You've been there. You know the way out. Go back and help them." I feel blessed that I can do this. That I was given the tools necessary to help suicidal people simply by reaching out and telling them "you are not alone."

Thank you for doing what you do, Chaplain Reece. I love you and appreciate you. You are NOT insignificant.

Well, I thought I will find some smart words here. What a disappointment.
