    If fewer people thought like this, and we came together to fight what’s happening, then it wouldn’t be this way. But everybody just wants to sit around and be sad about it instead of actually trying to make a difference.

    And I get it- it’s overwhelming, and it’s a lot easier to say “I told you so,” than it is to say “We fought hard and won.”

      This makes me a little indignant to read because it shows me that you understand absolutely nothing about declining mental health and how much of an impact it can have on people, their well-being, and their ability to do … things.

      If fewer people had your mentality, maybe the sad, depressed, and chronically stressed out people suffering from very real trauma could get the help they so desperately deserve.

      Life pro tip: when someone says they are tired, they don’t mean they’re sleepy or lazy. It means they are beaten down so hard that their only sane course of action is to simply stay down, lest they get beaten more.

        Implying my mental health is perfect. You don’t know a god damned thing about me and my struggles. When I said everybody, I was including myself.

        Fuck yourself.

      sure. just remember: nothing I wrote indicates I don’t also try to make a difference where I can. ;)

      No, not everyone. And sometimes things are built up to keep enough people down and tired to prevent making a difference. One can have fought and won a few battles but still be losing the war, and be entitled to say “I’ve been telling you so”. Never generalize - many labeled “doomers” are simply people who have been trying to change the world, and the world is simply too big and they’ve seen too much.
