RE: So Many Are Depressed And Anxious...Is It Maybe Because Life Is Shit?

in #vlog8 years ago

Hi Lyndsay! I can understand and totally relate to your feelings about life being so shitty. I struggle with people. I feel disconnected with most humans. I have very few friends that I relate to and my best friends have 4 legs. Some days I can't handle the way people are and like to be alone. I just don't understand the ignorance and hate and mean spirits. BUT I do know that life is actually good. It's the people in it that bring me down. I focus on the parts of life that I do like. Animals, Nature, Travel, Crafts and Homesteading. Just know that you are not alone and there are people who care. <3

That's wonderful that you've found a way to cope by focussing on the things that bring you joy and happiness. Thanks for your really tender comment @otterbeme. I'm curious if you notice a lot more people with depression and anxiety, and what your thoughts on the causes of it are?

OMG yes! I believe depression and anxiety is much more common than most people understand! I have experienced both over the past 2-3 years. I think that stress in our society is the main source of mental illness. We have been pushed to the edge and we need to recognize and help each other through.

Thank you so much, I definitely agree!
