How to find hope when all around people are losing it

In my therapy sessions in the last few years I have been increasingly seeing young people, primarily in the age group of 18 to 30 years, tell me how they struggle with choices, and in turn, decision-making.

In my therapy sessions in the last few years I have been increasingly seeing young people, primarily in the age group of 18 to 30 years, tell me how they struggle with choices, and in turn, decision-making. A 23-year-old male client tells me, "I can't even imagine living beyond 30 years and I know it sounds like a scary thought, but I don't know if there is enough for me to hope, and to continue." As a result, I feel I am not investing in commitment, savings, or even allowing myself to have dreams for my career growth. My friends seem to believe the same, and while we all joke about it, I feel it's the bitter truth and it's impacting all life choices.
