I made this comment in another thread but I want more of your eyeballs on it, maybe somebody has something useful to say.

I have some serious anxiety about the fact that modern civilization is all of us in a bus driving towards a cliff, with the driver’s foot firmly on the accelerator pedal. Therapy is available to me, but what the fuck are they gonna say? Tune out?

    I’m by no means a mentally healthy individual myself, but I’m coming around to the idea that current mental health practice is mainly concerned with making sure we all stay productive worker bees under capitalism. Feel alienated? Your brain chemistry is off. Feel like nothing means anything and it’s all pointless? That’s not because of the mode of production, YOU are the problem, time to fix your brain!

    I dunno man. Antidepressants saved my life, but I find myself questioning the way our society treats these diseases more and more.
