Starchild Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Seemingly more people are suffering from mental health afflictions than ever before. It seems (anecdotally) that more and more people I know are suffering or have suffered from it in some way shape or form. What are your thoughts on this, is there an increase is sufferers or are the sufferers just now coming forward and speaking out? My thoughts maybe controversial, but i believe there are more people suffering, and it's as a result from modern society. Although my views are completely anecdotal I would like to hear what others think. I think the bombardment of social media (breeding envy and a feeling of self-worthlessness) along with a drive towards lack of concentration, puruit of expedient goals or activities all adds to the lack of mental fortitude.

Newbiebrbr Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 True. I'm not feeling well today at all. I felt the worst I did in a while probably because preaching such a thing as ''world mental health day'' has made me feel worse about myself. Went around shopping today, didn't buy anything for a couple of hours because I was bored, everyone's wearing their face masks. I re-downloaded (don't know why) Tinder, flick through. Still bored and apathetic. Rest day from the gym as well. There's literally nothing for me to do today so just went to sleep around 4PM after Maccies.

Have you noticed a pattern in the days where you feel worse than others, or do the low moods come on arbitrarily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Grapes Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 The Ruling Elite want us to solve mental issues with New Age solutions, e.g. yoga and meditation, which will help to a certain extent, but ultimately will hook us up to the 'Group Mind'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that's true. Very much a trap. Been there I'm afraid.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starchild Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Interesting, can you elaborate? And do you think sufferers can do more to help themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? In my opinion, mental health = mental strength Not wanting to denigrate anyone who does have genuine serious mental health issues of course. But I think a lot of people - especially the younger generations - have these mental health 'afflictions' due to a lack of mental strength, which makes them unable to deal with the 'real world' once they emerge from their schools and colleges, because they have been mollycoddled and wrapped in cotton-wool, "protected" and given 'safe-spaces' from the sometime harsh reality of life, where one does not always get their own way. Of course, there are people who will also suffer from mental health issues due to psychological abuse, and that is everywhere, even in the news and on social media. If you are mentally strong, you are less likely to find yourself disappointed, and it is easier to 'shake off' such events and 'bounce back'. Many people are being systematically programmed to become mentally 'weak', through a lack of critical thinking, or any kind of thinking for themselves, owing to a dependency on what the 'telly' or their smart phone tells them to think. As well as a failure to take responsibility for one's own actions, "its someone elses fault" etc. I also do believe that good 'mental strength' directly leads into having good 'physical health' too. (Or at least 'decent' health in my own case!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
