This has been on my mind recently and I think it’s the reason why there is so much mental health issues in the world. I think our society wants to keep its nasty habits and yet still have no issues.
Like one obvious example is that it wants to blast us with models and perfect bodies and yet it doesn’t want people to have bad self imagine. It wants to load the movies, music and media with dark themes yet it wants no violence. It offers and encourages addictive behaviour at every corner yet it doesn’t want addicts. It fights all the bad outcomes with “awareness” or “help programs” which is obviously not as effective as removing the root cause.
I myself can’t handle this huge pressure of success and being social since society demands it yet it makes it very hard (for some people) to achieve.
It’s one of the reasons I think suicide makes sense, some end up taking all the by products that our society pollutes into the mental atmosphere and its best to throw those away once they have absorb enough to cause them to be “defective”
Sorry about the negative outlook

Hi blank_cutter,
I’ve been going through your post because your titles were so similar to the thoughts I’ve been having. I was 25 when I reached this point too. I’ll be turning 30 this year. It did get better for me for a bit and then it got worse again. I wish I had answers. For me it seems to go in cycles. Things get bad and then they get worse. You find yourself at the edge ready to take the leap. Ready to end it all and then it gets better. And the cycle repeats…
I hope things get better for you.
