Long ago I gave up on things getting 'better'. Because things DON'T get 'better'. They only get different. I would however like a 'different' that is a little easier to handle.

Yes! I am getting to that view myself--that things don't get better, they just get different. Reconciling myself to that seems to help, not hurt my mood. When I feel like I HAVE to keep hoping for a good job, good pay, relief from catastrophe--that's the part that is exhausting.
I hope life does get a bit easier for all of us soon, but I kind of think that lots of people are going through tough times now and they aren't over. Like you say, it does get to feeling pointless going over and over it.
