Why is depression and anxiety so common nowadays?

[mmamxfan]

Because our country is full of a bunch of coddled vaginas. Could you imagine any of these safe space kids, with feelings on all different type of meds get dropped off on Normandy Beach? Lol sad state we're in. Sometimes life isn't fair and you just have to deal with it and move forward. Most American males under 30 years of age are just a joke.

 

[Wrath of Foamy]

Look around you.

Everything is shit.

No community.

No passion.

Just fear and outrage.

Fucking everywhere.

Talk to someone. What do you think they'll talk about?

Fucking Covid, fucking job, fucking China, fucking Biden or fucking Trump, or fucking some bullshit injustice somewhere, or the fucking elites treading on the little man.

Nobody has anything positive to say.

Nobody.

 

[Dee Cups]

i think its always been around, we just didnt care as much about the welfare of people, we just told them to ''man the fuck up'' and in many cases that was the right thing to say because the complainant was full of shit, but mental health seems to be a big issue today, certainly in the UK, now you can't question it, even if its nonsense { i heard an local football/soccer coach claim during the deadly period of the pandemic say ''the guys are really struggling with their mental health, not being about to play'' the truth was probably more like he missed not being able to do something he enjoyed so cried to the local newspaper about the ''struggles''

 

[Black Paladin]

My theory (which I’ve mentioned before) is that in modern society, it is increasingly difficult to feel you are in a stable long term relationship with others in which you can share deep trust and kindness.

Good thoughts.

I was having a conversation with someone yesterday, and I just couldn't find a way to make the future seem optimistic.

Now I'm lying across my bed, and I've come to the conclusion that everything absolutely fucking sucks.

Just want it to end to be honest. I'm tired of all this endless misery. My life isn't even that bad, just had enough of it.

No freedom, no excitement, no compassion, no sentimentality or love. Just the feeling of being imprisoned and used. Everything costs a fuckton of cash.

I'd be happy to just go to sleep and not wake up the next day.

Professional help would be good if seeken

Quality of life is down from peak imo (which was like 60s to 80s or 90s in west)

But we are still far from serf times when you worked all life in fields for some lord of region who fucked your daughters and wife

No doubt. Human beings can be cruel fuckers. Not as bad as the shit old days, but we just use eachother all the same.

I don't think that the professional help will work this time. It's not just internal.

 

[deucesarewild]

Honestly, I think part of it is people being sad and then thinking it's depression. Being depressed about something and having depression aren't the same thing.

I know there is more awareness, but there is also more overdiagnosing, like ADHD.

Plus, people can't handle their shit these days.

Well mom used to say able to endure shit is biggest quality one can have.

Like saying here goes

"Keep your chin up and head towards new disappointments"

Lol, that's a good quote...

 

[Iroh]

Because it's an easy answer to give people for most issues.

Or it's easy to dismiss it as a legit issue.

Sorry to hear your feeling down, how's the work situation going?

 

[Wrath of Foamy]

Sorry to hear your feeling down, how's the work situation going?

Well, it's going. As it stands now, my job is still steady, and I'm going back to work full-time in a few days, albeit with different hours. That could change however, as my company want to cut hours and wages. It's the union's who are holding the line on this. In terms of the job itself? It's fine. No drama or stress, just physical work...

I'm just tired I think. I don't want to do anything, see anyone. I find that there is a culture of misery, not only with me, but people all around me. Nobody has anything good to say. It's just talking about how their work is stressing them out, or about the news (with several headlines containing the word "crisis" in it). Nothing optimistic, or about anything that they want to do, or have any passion for. Nobody has anything good to say. Everyone is suffering to a degree.

I just want to piss off out of here and not look back.

 

[Jack&Cat]

I honestly think it's the income to cost of living ratio...

And the reason why you wanted to become a HGV driver.

I understand, do you have anything holding you to the area you live in?

I'm really sorry. Out of the end of it hopefully but the only reason I was happy I woke up frequently the last 3 years is so my loved ones would have to miss me hopefully.

Fancy running off and diving for abalone in Australia? I can barely swim 5ft but sounds like fun? Only thing keeping me going really is work and my other half.

Does she know how you feel? I'm on the edge of going spastic frequently so don't think it's abnormal. Fuck, I was crying at work on Tuesday. Things are wonky as fuck at the moment. It is totally understandable.

 

[Wrath of Foamy]

My work. I've been working in aviation for ten years, but I am not particularly qualified for much, so I have to work where I've...worked...if that makes sense. Besides, no matter where I live, the problems tend to be the same. We live in a society where recreation and attraction has been somewhat neglected. Honestly, being an HGV driver? I'm hoping that I can at least see some things that are different, and be able to forget about other people's problems.

It reminds me of when I was a young teenager, and my father and his then girlfriend has returned from a six-month backpacking trip around South East Asia. He had so many stories to tell, so many photos to show, but when he asked others what had happened whilst he was away, they all said the same thing...

..."nothing".

I think that a lot of people are overworked, in order to sustain their own income, so their work/home life is corrupted, so I think that you are right.

That sounds rough as hell. I can relate.

I'd love to go to Australia, but my big thing right now is Japan. I'd love to spend a month or so, just exploring the main four islands.

I'd also like to get my motorbike licence as well, though one thing at a time.

My partner knows how I feel, but she is worse off than I am job and money-wise. She doesn't want to do anything though, just work and stay at home, because she doesn't want to spend money, and I think that's both understandable, and shit. I wish that she would at least try to seek happiness.

Go train in refrigeration, big chillers etc.........you can see the world doing that.......plus when you come back home there's loads of work for refrigeration engineers.

Interesting. I've never thought of refrigeration before.

I'm actually thinking of learning how to be a mechanic.

Encouragement always, from both of you. I admire you for going for your HGV license, but you'll both get used to being without each other. And a few days away at a time might put it into perspective of why you're together and miss each other.
