There's no point treating the symptoms if you don't treat the disorder. Funny how people don't seem to be able to transfer that understanding to society. What if mental illness is a symptom of a sick society?
I once argued that human rights don't exist. Essentially, the powerful create struggle. "Human rights" are the result of, and reaction to, the bourgeoisie losing control of society. We wouldn't need to discuss it if the struggles that led to the charters were non-existent.
Most of us should have read Van Der Kolk, any trauma informed therapist will encourage it. Interesting how learning about trauma, and learning protective skills, reconditioning ourselves to the world that repeatedly puts us back into survival mode... do you get where I'm going with this? The world is sick, not us!
Every good day is a blessing, we know this. Every week with more good than bad is a good week. So if the planet is full of people trying to do better then the world is a better place.
We're fed so much crap, I can't handle tiktok after finding out the Chinese version is educational... my FYP encouraged mental illness! How am I meant to have a healthy mind when I live in "haha I'm sad too" land? Information is Beautiful had an infographic at the start of Covid... it was posted two years ago. At that point, Covid already had more media mentions than anything in history. Regardless of your opinion, there was fear mongering.
So now we're facing housing, food, power, water, money, everything struggles. None of these are new, and the fact there's potato crisis but KFC still has chips tells me everything I need to know. Watch Tomorrowland. We're being fed our doomsday. Elevate your mental!
The population hit 8 billion people in December... and no one fucking cares!!! To put it into perspective, there are at least four times as many living humans now than there was 100 years ago. The world is brutal and we're too slow catching up to it.
More people stuggle with poor mental heath than don't, and those who don't are either fiercely ignorant or blissfully unaware. Over thinking is only bad in a world that discourages individual thought.
The statistics are clear, I'm not repeating them to back up my claims because I encourage research... trauma is the leading cause of every issue within society. Not treating society will lead to the death of it.
So those removed from society, the society we're forced to uphold, are left floating and lost. Some find meaning in artistry or work, but most spend every waking moment cursing life. Life is terrible, death should not be the absolute solution. What happens in a moment of suicidality? The mistakes build up, everything you are is staring you in the face and comparing that to who you want to be hurts. I'm sure there are plenty of other reasons, but it feels like the only way out.
I'd rather call Ghostbusters if I'm suicidal than an ambulance. I'm more trauma informed than most of society so why is it that society keeps trying to tame me? Why is itbtrying to tame our glorious minds?
Our struggles create domething beautiful and most of the traumatised lean into artistry. Philosophers and artists were once regarded as some of the most influential and important people within society. The free thinkers.
Work starts at 9am, you can't afford to fix your car. Food is more expensive and there's always the looming threat of eviction. There are wars, famine, plagues; you've had people coming at your soul too. If you're mentally stable then tell me how? What do you do to treat the symptoms of a sick society?
I'm going to end up dead if I don't shut up, aren't I?
