Cheesus christ, reading these comments and recognizing myself in all of them makes me think that someone somewhere should seriously look in to this and make some sort of treatment plan for it.
I have gotten so damn good at pushing negative things to the back of my head and only reacting to them at the last moment that i think i'm pushing the date when i "really" start living my life as i want.... to the day i die.
And as a side note, mental health should be taken fucking seriously! It should be like fixing a broken bone. There should be no gods damned negative social stigma to it. Fuck i live in a country where i dont even know where to go to get some help! And do i live in some third world shithole some fucking backwater where there are 1 doctor for 10000000 people?
No, i live in Finland the socialist paradise.
And for the fellow Finns, don't try to deny this. It's easy to get medical help here but what about mental health?
Don't know about Finland, but I expect it's close to how the Danish system works. Go to your doctor and ask to see a psychiatrist, not a psychologist. The difference is, that the psychiatrist has a medical background, and therefor counts as a medical problem, and go under the free health care, unlike the second
It could be also that, we're just told by society that we need to do a whole bunch of shit, but, we just lack the mental stamina to constantly be doing things, and we feel we should, but in fact, its not in our nature? I mean.. what if our nature is to all sit in floating chairs, not move all day, and have Wall-E do all the work instead while we surrogate The Sims 3000 alongside Bruce Willis.....
Hey, Despot will release his album this year!.. maybe! He's an inspiration to me.
You seriously might really enjoy this video. It's a bit lengthy, I'll admit, but another person posted it to me in this thread and it pretty much makes your point. (Plus a bunch of other interesting facts)
Actually I heard mental health is a big issue in Finland, especially depression. Because aren't many people isolated plus you get the long darkness during winter.
personally I don't think it's us. I think we are feeling this way and having these problems because the world around us is not in a good state. We are way overworked and things that are truly fulfilling are not encouraged, such as the arts.
True. Vacationed in Prague last summer for an extended time and it was hell trying to figure out how to get my son's Vyvanse prescription. (We were trying to save money by not getting an advance prescription in the US. It's a $90 copay for us.) In short, I couldn't. The best I could do was get short release Ritalin for him, not even the extended release. And no bordering country around CZ allows any kind of real attention meds. It was downright stupid.
