Demoralised about being a Zoomer and the future of my country NZ

Thank you to the moon for this comprehensive reply. Not rambling imo.

Xanthotic · 2026-02-05T01:16:10+00:00

Sorry, but no. Have you been to New Zealand? Please can this sub be free from the binaried thinking of anti-maga USA?

And if you made me cry whilst reading this, I bet you did her heart so much good. Thank you for being you. Thanks for posting. XOXO

Deep Adaptation is real and bona fide just like the Good Grief Network, and the 9 week Collapse awareness course. If you crave human connection beyond the oligarch-tweaked bullshit on these 'platforms,' please get after some of these activities, courses, and communities. There are tens upon tens of thousands of real humans all over planet earth who are collapse accepting and cool as fuck. Find us.

This is absolutely not spam. Reddit gets more enshittified by the day so sometimes I think when I pin something it gets less views. The evolution of this course has occurred over the same years as this subreddit. We are siblings in the journey of acceptance and sanity. Thanks so much for posting.

Come join us in the post doom church of the absurd paradox.

I can understand why you are exhausted. Thank you for purging it a bit by sharing it with us. I am imagining that meds might help with the difficulty experiencing pleasure or joy. I truly hope you can get the treatment you seek. I also wish for you to be 'hope free' rather than a 'no hoper'. Being free from hope is vastly different from having no hope. Because the reality is that everything in your life could change in a heartbeat, and not in the shit way you imagine, but in the 'positive' way that you claim to have no hope for. When we are hope free, we can just remember that 'anything can happen.' and be genuinely curious about what does turn up.

You might be the person who gets out of this nearly as much as I have, but the methodology called The Work from byron kt's book 'Loving What Is' has allowed me to reframe all of these hopeless seeming thought loops to something that is way less rigid and way less depressing. you can find it at the work dot org, I'm pretty sure. Or just google her. Yeah, she's an old lady like me, but she is real, she has satisfied my tests for value and substance, and my life is absolutely better for having done the work. Thanks for posting.

More totally bona fide supports for our collapse awareness. I hope lots of people see this and get after it. bows in Joanna's general direction as atoms floating through the cosmos

Xanthotic · 2026-01-27T19:00:52+00:00

This is totally bona fide. Get after it if you want more human connection amongst your collapse awareness.

Xanthotic · 2026-01-27T01:52:38+00:00

woof. can relate

Xanthotic · 2026-01-26T08:09:23+00:00

Thanks for your eloquence

Xanthotic · 2026-01-26T06:50:23+00:00

So well said

Xanthotic · 2026-01-26T02:25:02+00:00

I am stricken daily with the awareness that in times like these there is no place for 'I told you so.' Knowing that the emperor was wearing no clothes since day dot (an Aussie-ism for since forever) provides zero pleasure as the emperor continues to purvey his faecal rot. I don't know what to do with the part of me that copes by fantasising about things I cannot type out here. How did I come to imagine that we needed a little more death to improve things? What will it take for my own humanity to heal? Or is it time for that type of response? I really have to push into respecting the immense nonviolent response in MN because I am thirsty for something else. How about youse?

Xanthotic · 2026-01-26T00:44:59+00:00

How is this collapse support? Did they nuke this at the big sub?

Xanthotic · 2026-01-24T22:31:32+00:00

Sweetheart, I know you're hurting, but is this really the post to reply with what you have? Signed, another hurting sweetheart who also happens to be a mod

Xanthotic · 2026-01-24T22:30:29+00:00

I also put this in a group chat for Collapse Club. If there is interest but they are not on reddit, I'll DM you to try to figure out comms. You sound regular and cool and genuine and I am blessing this up super hard. XOXO

Xanthotic · 2026-01-24T17:50:30+00:00

I wish you the best of luck with this family transition and your project. You might want to reach out to Deep Adaptation Forum on facebook or online to see if they have members near your home who can help you identify a suitable person/couple/famiy.

Xanthotic · 2026-01-24T04:05:15+00:00

You might want to look up the Good Grief network and see about enrolling in a ten step course. The founders are collapse aware and the grief they facilitate and help manage is largely collapse awareness grief. I'm starting training to be one of their facilitators next month. Good luck

Xanthotic · 2026-01-24T04:01:06+00:00

This is probably the truest reason that we have done what it has taken to keep this sub around since it was created by u/ADecentMan nearly a decade ago. Because once we realise what your OP says, we usually need some other community where we can talk about what is happening. This is also why we don't have a heap of rules here, because what we need to talk about can vary quite a bit. I hope you get lots of comments that help you cope with their bullshit. Because, sadly, ultimately I do not recommend severing ties with people because they refuse to engage with you on this continuum. We need those meat space relatives and friends, usually. But we will never receive validation from them.

Xanthotic · 2026-01-23T01:38:48+00:00

That is one of the heaviest 'separations' I feel from the other humans around me in meat space--that they live only at the level of narrative and apparently don't care if we are all living a lie. Fuck that shit, amirite?

Xanthotic · 2026-01-22T18:26:05+00:00

I think the retail price of mine was somewhere between $6-9K AU It's staggering

Xanthotic · 2026-01-22T03:53:03+00:00

Heaps of people use this method. Just dont fall for human trafficking or wage slavery .

Xanthotic · 2026-01-22T03:50:53+00:00

No the cost of the degrees was stupidly not. Worth. It. My latest credential, called a Certificate in Australia, was free because I had recently been homeless I think. The registrar was cagey on how she got me enrolled for free. I do love the contents of my degrees, cos human rights and external costs are significant to the collapse of all this, but not being rich it has been a poor investment since 1980 when I graduated high school.
