I think if we did a study, such results would be proven.

When struggling with mental health, seek a professional, not TikTok.

What does it say about our society that this article needs to be written?

If struggling with mental health, delete your god damned phone and get outside.

Depression is real if the guy married to Aubrey Plaza can't keep it together long enough to continue to exist.

This is probably important, but nobody cares.

Kind if wish more people in the US were on them.

But still indicative of the same problem.

Took a break from the world yesterday. No SM, no news, no work, no emails, etc. Just a couple flicks, running errands, visiting mom, and video games.

It was nice.

However, I could still sense Catt being upset that I haven't posted boobies this week.

i even posted some to try and draw you back.

There will be some this week.

Just saw this:


I am not taking it as gospel. 97% of everythig on the internet is bullshit.

But I WOULD be very curious to know, accurately, what percentage of people in therapy are liberals. Not that it would prove anything, or even suggest much of anything, it's just something I never thought about before.

Does that person live in a city? Is it selection bias (Conservatives still hide mental illness, liberals don't)?

I can think of 5 reasons that, if true, have nothing to do with "liberals are crazy."

But that could conceivably be an option.

Another article on the success of these blood tests.

I've been diagnosed with a mental health issue, and I still agree with this gentleman. The problem, as always seems to be the case, is that people saw dollar signs and that became more important than legitimately helping people. Feeling emotions at all became a problem that could be treated with drugs. (To be fair, it used to be alcohol that was our #1 anti-depressant and these people just took over that market.)

Feeling sad, nervous, anxious, depressed, etc. are normal emotions one experiences in life. Drugs weren't needed for 95% of the people feeling them. Additionally, too many shrinks were giving people excuses for their behavior. That's not ok.

What we really needed was a wave of mentors. People not able to prescribe drugs, but could give advice. "How about taking responsibility for yourself?" "Yeah, your childhood wasn't great. You have a choice now. You can either do better for your kids or you can continue the pattern." Etc.

Yeah, feels like it's gone too far. Like any anxiety or sadness is now a major issue. It's just feelings. Didn't people see that Pixar movie?
