Trump’s second term is going to be the dying gasp of the boomer generation in :amerikkka: , where they smash everything in sight on the way to the grave

Dude does the coolest thing an American has gone in ages, people across the political divide are rejoicing in latent class solidarity, and Hexbear mods are falling over themselves to disavow him because of his fucking posts. Absolutely zero political instincts.

I just don’t think “our society is garbage and our tools are useless” is a helpful thing to contribute to the conversation, and it sounds defeatist and pessimistic.

Yes, talk therapy ALONE is insufficient to end world capitalism. Yes, many of the problems people discuss in therapy are directly caused by the exploitative and rapacious nature of our economic system. Yes, talk therapy itself is captured in the privatized health care system if you are in . No one of us can resolve that, and the leftist utopia we dream of is unlikely to be rendered in our lifetimes.

HOWEVER, if a person is suffering from persistent depression that reduces their capacity to experience joy in life and to contribute to the projects they want to contribute to, ESPECIALLY if thoughts of self harm are present, they should absolutely explore all available treatment options.

Nobody is saying “don’t put a cast on your broken leg bc our society sucks”, mental healthcare is no different.

I don’t want to say anything else on this topic bc this conversation is very upsetting to me, feel free to have the last word or whatever.

Would you rather I had just killed myself? Sorry for not consulting you in my treatment program, the prescription is obviously to overthrow global capitalism myself in my lifetime.

All-or-nothing thinking is counterproductive. When you have a wound, do you just let it get infected, or do you apply first aid?

Maybe leave it alone when my response was clearly trying to help a comrade who is suffering? Inappropriate

I want to be very clear that YES, this is the depression talking. Everything you described is real and frustrating but not insurmountable and it sounds like you are starting out in a down place before looking at each.

If you are not in therapy I would seriously suggest looking into it to try to learn coping skills to pull out of negative moods. If books are your thing I really really rely on the methods in David Burns’s Feeling Good. At very least I think it is helpful to be vocal with someone you trust and who loves you about the kinds of moods you can fall into. Don’t inflict it on them but just try to describe neutrally, and maybe tell them they don’t need to solve it but just listen at first.

Also Seasonal Affective Disorder is real.

Sorry if any/all of this is already very obvious to you, maybe it will help someone else in the future also.
