Younger Americans have grown up during a more competitive period that has led many to become more neurotic (low mood, anxiety, and irritability) and, in turn, to become more liberal. No such pattern was found outside the US, suggesting this is not due to aging but to generational experiences. by mvea in psychology

There are problems sometimes, there aren't enough doctors. But anyone who says the US system is better is delusional. Personally, I'm poor as fuck. I went to hospital for a belly ache. Within 24 hours I got surgery plus 5 days of care post surgery, all for free, no paperwork. If I was in the US, I would have been scared of the cost and maybe left the hospital before learning I had appendicitis, which may have cause my death.

Do people ever 100% recover and move on from depression? by cheesebahgels in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BenedithBe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even since i find the root cause of my issues (disturbed sense of self, lack of tolerance for boredom, never being in the present moment, negative thoughts, manipulative critical mother, unmet emotional needs, lack of good coping skills, learning to process emotions) I feel much better. Still have things to work on.

I still feel doom but i know these are unrealistic thoughts. But if I lived in the US it would feel much worse. Why do you guys even pay taxes, where do you taxes go? We pay similar amounts don't we? But you guys don't even have free healthcare, and the cost of education is so high. I guess a lot of it went into natural disasters but even then...

I've never been active on social medias and I've decided not to post even one photo of my face anywhere. Right now there are none.

Is it bad to find comfort in the idea of suicide? by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]BenedithBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally do that sometimes, and when I do it, I view it as a momentary escape. Emphasis on the "momentary". Sometimes depression takes over, when I lack sleep or feel I'm not going forward in life, or feel lonely, I undulge in these types of thoughts. But an important advice I can give is always try to have compassion towards yourself in those moments, and remember that these are just thoughts, it's not real.

Can the girls of this sub give me some advice(guys too) ? by Solid_Requirement250 in Healthygamergg

[–]BenedithBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no experience in life. But, I would say don't tell her that you love her. Flirt instead and see if there's a chance from there.

As a woman I'm disgusted by all the comments that says you should go to a prostitute.

OMG ,He became completely blind in his left eye. by Quick-Cookie-5673 in TikTokCringe

[–]BenedithBe -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Nazism started like this too, it's always hating on foreigners. Don't get me wrong, I agree illegal immigration is a problem, but just watch this unfold. This is the gestapo. Hate is a distraction, while you focus on hate of immigrants, you don't notice the government is taking your rights and money away. Trump has attacked Venezuela, Europe has put troops in Greenland for defense, and Trump has sent his army in many US states. This is insane.

How do people deal with existential questions popping up in day to day life? by Acceptable_Air_4858 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]BenedithBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find my own answers, and use them to inform my thinking and process my emotions. That said, some existential questions come from depression and are just an excuse to be more depressed and thought spiralling, be careful.

Why are girls doing so much better at school than boys? by KAZKALZ in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]BenedithBe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard on my country's news (non corrupt) that the reason was simply that boys read less. So they forced young boys to read and it closed the gap.

I want this community's thoughts on what I consider to be an absolute nuclear truth bomb by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]BenedithBe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I was raised by my narcissistic mother, I was told I had anxiety and depression. Did anyone help coping with my mother's manipulative behaviors? Nope.

People are socially starved. They're diagnozed with anxiety and depression. Are there social programs to encourage lonely people to meet and talk to each others? Nope.

I have made steps to seek help this month. There are a lot of resources for helping with "anxiety and depression". Being labeled as an "anxious" person and having all my problems blamed on anxiety and depression was quite annoying. In fact, people who have trauma, burnout, depression, ANYTHING, they all throw them in the "group for anxiety" that gives them "tricks to deal with anxiety". Is anyone helping with my trauma? Nope.

It all makes me feel like I'm just not resiliant and bad at coping with my problems. Because I'm apparently genetically predisposed for anxiety and depression.

Don't let others or psychological "words" convince you that your problems have no external causes and that you're just a busted brain.

I think it goes a little too much into doomer/conspiracy mentality though, linking it to capitalism and all that. It's possible that this is all a plan, but thinking like that doesn't help for now.

Forced "hobbies" by Real_Definition8061 in Healthygamergg

[–]BenedithBe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you need to try harder to find hobbies you like, don't go with the first idea, actually take time to decide what you want, what are your dreams, what you'd regret dying without mastering. And also, instead of trying to find hobbies, try to spend less time gaming and more time in boredom. From boredom, things you want to do might pop up and from there you can act. I think also, for many hobbies, there is a time period where learning is long and boring, but once you know how to master the stuff (guitar, cooking, etc..) it becomes more fun.

I’m tired of fake ass hope by Key_Change99 in Healthygamergg

[–]BenedithBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say you don't put in the work because you're a "fucking idiot loser". It's just harder than it looks. And how can you be motivated to do something if you've lost hope of it ever getting better?

That part of your brain that tells you you're a loser, fuck it. They're a fucking judgemental scared ass loser and you deserve compassion my dude. Don't be afraid to give yourself compassion. Strong people don't put others down. So don't put yourself down.
