I don't understand the "teenage stepdad" on the pricetag.

Is that, like, a teenagers stepdad...or is that just the next progression after these kids on Xbox fuck my mother?

Honestly if you feel bad a lot of it has to do with what you eat and how much activity you get.

Incorrect trauma has lasting effects on people, while you are talking about temporary states caused by endorphins. Some people literally do not make enough of these chemicals, they will not suddenly start upon eating the right foods and getting physical activity.

It can help for sure.

Also, some people are genetically predisposed to being sad, anxious or what have you without any trauma.

Yes, except if you grow up in a neighbourhood that is a fucking trainwreck, like I did.

What is stopping you from feeling better now?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, I'm just saying, what you eat and how you move can do a great lot to improve your general health and mood, except when the environment is total shit. Then you might still feel bad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

one's environment can have a pretty big impact on what one eats and how often one gets to move

People who have never had mental health issues be like "why don't you just stop feeling bad?"

I know you mean well but like jesus christ

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Right, because eating right will fix the climate and the economic system

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.

The only solace I have is knowing that everyone eventually experiences depression. It might not be until they're old and realize their better days are behind them but it eventually catches everyone. Then they'll see what it's like.

Doesn't help today, but I silently remind myself of their destiny in those situations.
