FurryPhilosifer 02/16/22 4:00:28 PM #22:	I think some of the awareness of mental health has actually been worse for depression being taken seriously. It's good that mental health is taken seriously, but so many services now are focused around people who are down and/or struggling for a period, that people with chronic mental health issues keep going into the system, getting diagnosed as "just in a rut" and being prescribed mindfulness and exercise, and doing this on a loop. Or that could be anecdotal. --- Ghosts are cool. <cite>FurryPhilosifer posted [p:962705228] in Does socie...

Crescente 02/16/22 4:15:00 PM #25:	Society and western culture has a hand in this. There is too much emphasis on happiness and success. We're too individualistic too. So when you have all of those expectations in this connected and social-media driven society, you have more people with depression. And you have people that don't understand why.

She's the most self centered entitled person I think is possible. The other one is nice and I actually like her. I guess I just can't mention any struggles without her wanting to one up it. Which kind of sucks. There's a newer coworker who is very obviously struggling mentally. She seems in the verge of a breakdown every night. I try to listen and support her any way I can, but she always gives me the "You don't know what it's like!" response... Yes, yes I do.
