Dealing with my father's disability, poverty, living under dictatorship... You know, just the usual things. I just want people to be more compassionate, I think.

I’m not feeling well. Healthy, but not well.
Feeling physically weak with incoming urges to look at naughty things even though I am striving to please God and make him happy being good.
He knows I mean well despite my feelings.
I’m struggling again and lost interest in things besides comics because my mind is currently stuck and I can’t reason or explain properly.
Someone needs to ensure me that I will get better whatever the odds and I will get healthier.
I've struggled similarly over the years and had my ups and downs. One thing that has helped me is remembering that my feelings are subjective, and not necessarily reflective of reality. My view of the world is often skewed, whether by brain chemistry, various biases, or the influence of others, so I have to seek out what's actually true in any given situation. It helps me; I hope it will help you, at least a little.
Honestly, in my experience, things get better when I exert control over what I can. I'd tell you to control what you can and go easy with the rest. Try to do better every day, really try consciously, and the struggle itself will be rewarding.
I'm rooting for you. If there is a Creator, and I believe there is, he's rooting for you, too.

Society being bigoted, predujiced and caring more about money than people
Society has to change and go along a utopian path to make it better
I'll let you know through a song
Though honestly, it's more just a sort of blah feeling I've been having the past few months now, all day every day. I feel like I'm just going through the motions at all times in life, on auto-pilot, like there's this sort of cloud hanging over everything and I'm having trouble focusing on anything. Granted, there's been a string of bad news items almost daily it seems like and anxiety around the big upcoming general election, but I suspect it's some level of depression. Otherwise, I myself don't have many of my own problems that are bothering me, it's more the problems of other people around me that probably give me the most issues, people that I can't just easily ignore or tell them to piss off.

I have no meaning in my life. I go to work and I consume and I don’t connect with anyone or help anyone.
The way you can help me is you can tell me some way I can help you.
