Mentally I am ok and content for the most part but not a 100 percent , I analyze a lot of things in my head and from the way things are today I don’t see it getting any better , I feel this country has
turned into a disaster and that we are in for a rude awakening , people are just plain out fucked up and selfish for the most part , I blame a lot of the nonsense on social media from all the nonsense that’s being feeding into our brains making people lose their fucking minds , there is constant negativity all around us , trying to find positive is a harder task to achieve because so many people are selfish these days and only really care about themselves , Relationships are falling apart , people backstabbing and betraying each other , Divorce rates are constantly rising people cheating on each other , this world barely has any moral values anymore , people don’t want to work anymore , everyone just wants things handed to them etc.. , I am at a point t in life that I realize I am ok if I die , I am not saying I want to die but I honestly feel like I am ok of it happened , cuz I feel like I am not really missing anything the only reason I want to stay on this Earth is for my kids and if I have grandchildren one day. But other than that I really don’t have anything else really holding me on to here , Sex And Beer and Good food and Music is probably the only things that really make me happy cuz what else do we really have unless I win the lottery then maybe I would have a better outlook on things lol

ok, although I'm about ready to turn off GAG as it's a time and energy suck that isn't worth it. social media really is... junk.

Beyond that, doing ok, wondering what else I should do with the time I have.

I could be better spiritually,

I try not to take on the worlds misery emotionally, so that's good and bad. It means I'm cold in a way. I can't shoulder the worlds misery, but I should have more compassion, as I have at times. Post covid, as best I can tell, I lost some of that and needs rebuilt. Maybe I'd feel better if I was more involved in these things personally, then it felt like I was making a difference with my time.

the problem with these computers/phone feeds is they feed non stop misery to us... they rarely if ever feed anything positive. So we are basking in human suffering. That's not good for mental health.

So I wonder about turning them off and focusing on what's around me, on what gives life and is nurturing to the spirit.

Wars, earthquakes and conflicts aren't new. What happens is that since there's a war in Europe, everyone is concerned about it. I'm not saying that they shouldn't be concerned, I just find it unfair because there are wars going on in other parts of the world and nobody cares.

With climate change and lack of urban planning earthquakes and other natural disasters will keep happening. Plus, humans are always fighting against each other, most of the times for stupid reasons.

How I would define my mental health at this point? Well, there was a time I was really sad and desperate. I was addicted to news. Now I watch it less, I'm trying to stay calm. I'm also trying to accept that I can't change the world (even though I would love to). I'm just hoping for better days and I believe they will come.

my mother was not hesitant to let me know about ALLLLL the conflicts of the world when i was a little girl, and it definitely did NOT help my mental health at all. i went into psychosis when i was 6-7 and i don't think learning about all of the worldly disasters caused by humans really helped my anxiety

I learned a long time ago to not let the crap that happens in the world get to me. Atlas might be able to carry the world on his shoulders, but I can't.

The world is a very big place, even if the Internet and modern news make it seem small. If someone wants to make the world a better place, start at home and the local area. You don't have to look far to find some way to help improve things.

Yea, you kinda have to be cold to survive. If you try to concern yourself with all the crap in the world, it'll tear you up.

Friendlybro79 · Answer

I'd say I'm in a state of just ok considering personal circumstances. I'd be better if work and life balance was tilted a little more to the life side. It's been hard being middle aged now and not feeling like I've been able to enjoy myself because of needing to work and make enough to survive where I live. The idea of being definitely not getting any younger has stressed me but what keeps me sane is trying to be in control my feelings.

I know I can be responsible for my life balance and figure out how to start enjoying myself, finding hobbies, and creating more in person social interactions that will help me have an ever better mental state

TheVigilantFox · Answer

None of these things effect me so my mental health is fine.

I do feel sorry for all the people trapped or dead but I know I can’t do anything so there’s no point in me worrying.

All what goes on in the world will happen whether you worry or not you can’t do anything about a natural disaster.

The things you can control and do something about then you must.

The things you can’t do anything about you must just let go of.

to be honest within the last few years i'm not 100% sure if i am in the process of waking up to shit that's going on behind the scenes of our globalized society... or if i'm just going crazy, cause the shit that i start to see seems just so outrageous and shocking.

ManOnFire · Answer

The state of the world doesn't affect my mental health like that. Personal/life things can affect it, but even with how bad the world is it doesn't quite get to me like that.

My mental health is good, very stable. These events are a good reminder of what actually matters because people go into depressions for much smaller things.

Above water and not "going postal" is good enough for me. I do not expect the world to be a good place so that eases things a bit.

I'm better that I used to be. I took it really hard as a teenager. I think I've built up my toughness since then. At least a little bit.

"The Second Coming" by William Butler Yeats would best describe my mental state. Sorry but I'm too incompetent to provide a link.
