2024 will be my year just like every year prior to it has been lol. Just it like it has been for the vast majority of humanity and will continue to be.
It really feels like !sub should be the default but I get the issue. Different instances. But you’d feel like it would just default to whatever instance you’re already on lol.
The joys of being cradled by tech monoliths then going back to the stone age.
You’re telling me I have to type in the entire address!?!?!
Growing up with that sort of stupid toxic masculinity no matter how dumb you realize it is… is just hard. Every fiber of your being screams to tell you no, don’t stand out, suck it up, what are you some kinda of douche?
I don’t even need to believe it’s the opposite, it’s scientifically sound.
Optimism does FAR MORE than doomerism. Doomerism leads to complacency, and there’s been numerous studies that back up Learned Helplessness. You believe doomerism begets action, when it’s the opposite.
Learned helplessness is literally a political propaganda tactic used by large nations against the west specifically due to it’s innate properties. The more likely you are to believe something is inevitable, the less likely someone does something about it. This isn’t the Bystander Effect lmfao.
Learned Optimism has significant health, familial, and societal benefits. Conscious gratitude, thankfulness, and other similar positive coping mechanisms that were borne from CBT are being used in every profession where you see the worst of humanity on a daily basis.
I never got as bad as wanting to not be alive but a couple panic attacks made me suck it up and get the wheels rolling on seeing a Psych and getting meds. ADHD since childhood didn’t help but the meds sure as fuck do. It sucks that you see what you’re supposed to be doing but our social safety nets sucks so much, especially as adults, that you can’t use them.
Finding insurance and a stable job can go a long way. Without them, it can be tough out of pocket. Finding the right combo of meds was what I knew I needed and ended up doing exactly what I needed them to. God damn they’re expensive though. Mostly the stimulants and anti-drinking pills (Naltrexone FTW!) though.
Edit: Honestly just being tired all the time, especially in the mornings, was one of the worst parts. My depression showing up as numbness was handy as a Stoic, but life is better when you feel shit appropriately.
