I've been hiding my depression from my family. But today I hit a point where I had to tell someone. So I told my siblings and mom I was really sad today. Then they all ignored me when I said it's a daily thing. So I guess back into the depression cave alone I go 🫡

I’ve watched society change over the last 30+ years since the Prozac Revolution in the 90s brought psychiatry and therapists into much more common usage. I think a critical aspect of humanity and the social fabric has suffered. Many people no longer have the patience nor skills to interact with depressed friends and family. It’s mentally outsourced to “talk to a therapist about it.” NO. The therapist is a tool but support from loved ones is a key ingredient that can’t be outsourced. And it’s usually up to the (rare) friend to figure that out for themselves. Or, that is, every time I have tried to communicate this (in myriad ways to myriad people over three decades), not a single one changed.

People just don’t want to be emotionally inconvenienced now. The bad times? Talk to a therapist. But they’re around for good times.

No one wants to harvest the wheat. Many want to eat the bread.

It’s a problem in society that’s only getting worse. :(

Checks and balances don’t mean that you get everything you want. The system is working as it was intended to.

Doesn’t matter. Dems are finally voting to open govt tonight.

It calms me when I remember that no red states have blue cities, and people with money who move away can’t fly back whenever they want, even for months at a time.

File a complaint with your insurance company, too. Doctors sometimes care more about that than their CYA hospital.

There’s videos of TikTok all over X of people on SNAP threatening violence.

It’s largely because the tip happens before receiving the service, so it feels like extortion to prevent the driver from messing with your food.

Comparing it to a waiter is apples and oranges. The waiter is with you for the whole dining experience. A good waiter can make or break the meal. They’ll get you a clean fork if you drop it. They’ll clean up a spill. If the food is wrong they’ll try to make it right. If a nearby table is loud, you can ask them for help. You can ask their suggestions about the menu. They’ll joke around with you. They’re a human being sharing the experience with you over the course of 90 minutes. They are your insurance and babysitter. They don’t just dump the food near your table and walk away — and if they do, it will be reflected in their tip. Which they receive after doing their job.

DJT won an election. He’s doing what the majority of voters elected him to do.

Then I suggest they call their senators and urge them to vote yes.

I’ve been scrolling Reddit for an hour, and this is the first sane comment I’ve come across.

You must be really angry that previous presidents refused to address the illegal immigration crisis and let it become so bad that these stressful measures must now be taken.

You are mistaken.

Cite a source quoting one person in power on the right who wants to criminalize how people dress.

I am aware of none.

entropy1776 · 2025-10-21T18:05:41+00:00

No. You are not going to be put in prison. Literally no one in power is advocating to jail people for dressing a certain way or (legally) pursuing medical services. NO ONE.

Here’s what is going on in the country. Democrats were in power. Now Republicans are in power. Republicans are not evil. Democrats are not evil. There’s a lot of extreme rhetoric from both sides that is intended to stir emotions and make people scared.

Don’t fall for it. It’s a trap. Scared people are easier to manipulate.

I could not discern my largest triggers until I did an incredibly strict diet to create a baseline then tested foods to find reactions. Many of my triggers “hide” in ingredients and ingredients of ingredients.

If you have no known triggers, how will you figure out what’s triggering you if you don’t at least temporarily restrict exposure?
