It’s kind of like saying that the individual who isn’t responding well to the abysmal conditions created by capitalism is “broken” and not the system itself. So most of the time you are gonna get a “best I can do is give you some pills that dull all your emotions, good and bad”.
It’s me ✨😎🥰
When I constantly stated the same reasons for attending mental healthcare when I got there, after a shake up in the ownership of the network, I was terminated coverage by my place because no one there got it into their head:
Major sources of depression and anxiety aren’t fixable with therapy and pills, they are only fixed with a major change in income and political climate. Even if I somehow have a job that pays 8 figures, it doesn’t solve the social issues of me and my friends being future victims with no way to stop it.
And then they just went “Well since you’re too focused on what you can’t change, you can’t change at all, buh-bye!”
At some point I just gotta wonder who’s actually mentally ill. The people who see the truth and try to change it despite the lack of influence, or the people who ignore it and say everything is okay.
I mean, when I expressed to my last therapist of the network “Hey this place in town, violated the state labor laws and I’m trying to figure out if I can sue them.” she just said “But I like the gas in my tank.”
I’m sorry you had to go through all that, it sounds horrible and should never have been allowed to happen in that way…
Reading this makes me both melancholy and angry. Capitalism is directly (and indirectly) responsible for many uncountable injuries, injustices and indiscretions…
I struggle with my mental health quite a lot as well (+ neurodivergency. medial asd diagnosis is otw lol), though even in Germany I’m in a privileged positions and just can’t seem to get better no natter what I do. The only thing keeping me alive is revolutionary optimism and trying to contribute to the progress of humanity in the best way I am able to
Stay strong ✊ I know this probably doesn’t mean much but you have my solidarity and please know that many people are fighting for a just tomorrow. not all is lost
