It’s interesting that this comment is getting downvotes. Lately i’ve been seeing a lot of people trying to pass off bad mental health as valid political discourse, as if being healthy was only possible in a perfectly fair world which has never existed and probably never will.
Say what you will about the state of the world, but anxiety is not normal. Having depressive thoughts all the time is not normal. Living in profound nostalgia of everything from your childhood is not normal. Don’t normalize bad mental health, it’s not the world’s fault, cause it’s not a fault but it sure is your responsibility to fix.
Then when you’re stable and healthy, that’s when the real fighting back starts. Look at the assholes turning the world into shit, they have amazing agency and executive control. How are you going to beat that when you’re too anxious to pick up a phone and too depressed to leave your own bed ?
I know. I’m 50 so I grew up before social media. It wasn’t like this. Not even close. I was trying to fit in, sure. But this social media thing has made a lot of users actually depressed for real. The comparison with other people is the worst part. People you never even meet.
It would be very good to take a long break from it for most people.
