  • Nah, fuck all that. I’ve stopped following most mainstream news and my mental health has improved significantly for it. Having a neverending sense of anxiety and impending doom 24/7 is no way to live, and it seems as if that’s exactly the effect that major news outlets are trying to have. It hasn’t fixed my anxiety but it’s a huge improvement not having it constantly exacerbated day after day.

    If you had to take a break from that bullshit to avoid going completely insane, then good on you for taking care of your mental health, and believe me that is not a valid reason for you to be respected less.













  • I’ve been dealing with this for over 20 years and no matter what my level of activity or diet has been, that’s never changed. I used to run marathons and was in excellent shape for years, and it never made me any less bipolar/depressive at all, that’s how I know.


  • This has some real ‘just go touch some grass’ energy. You sound like my brother who after a decade of telling me that my mental health issues are my fault because I don’t live the way he does, still can’t seem to comprehend that fucked-up brain chemistry is a thing that exists. All the salads and fresh air in the world won’t suddenly fix my neurotransmitters and just magically correct the fundamental dysfunction up there. Maybe don’t act like you know what will fix me if you don’t even understand what’s wrong with me.
