I think of how dark the world has been and will continue to be for me personally.
And Iām not even suffering the most relative to other people. And I think to myself I really donāt want to be here. On the other hand dying is not really appealing either.

I see some people at work sometimes sailing through completely carefree that have always lived in a bubble. Kind of pisses me off. Why isnāt that me? And it annoys me even more when they are lazy and ungrateful.
Iāll be honest, banning yourself from news helps me a lot because sometimes itās just way too much for me.
I enjoy listening to my radio talk shows because in a bubble they have a rule for not talking about news in the world or politics for the most part.
I also have tools for some escapisms when I need it.
Itās not healthy to be connected constantly to bad news every day.
Iām curious, what radio talk shows do you listen to?
some people are unaware of their luck or that other people within their sphere can be leading a completely different kind of life because they donāt have the same privilege
many years ago I read one of Richard Wrightās autobiographies, the one of him growing. He wrote how when he was older and famous he contacted some of his white classmates from high school to talk about life in the South.
Wright was treated poorly by his teachers, given no to little encouragement , not recommended for college. His classmates told him they were given every opportunity and encouragement and treated very nicely by their teachers. His white classmates had no clue the black students were treated differently by teachers as it was done in private.
I think many people who have carefree lives just have no clue that life is harder for other people. That accent, skin colour, family, school, suburb, opens and close doors and itās just luck
I donāt blame people for being unaware of inequality. I wish everyone was treated well. I do blame people if they are bastards holding others down.
I guess the person in thinking of is very insensitive to others, even when they are aware of their background. So it irks me.

Iām sorry dude. Iām in the same spot but doing the sad clown because really what else can I do.
Iād wish things to get better for you, but for some people they donāt and I donāt want to create even implied pressure to āget betterā. (A lot of the time people think theyāre being encouraging but theyāre doing toxic positivity and making you feel you have to act in certain ways. Also thereās nothing wrong with the way you feel. Itās a valid response to some circumstances.)
I wonāt push you to seek help. It may or may not be available to you, you may not be able to find someone who can understand well enough to help, or you may already be seeing someone. Thatās none of my business.
What I will do is wish for you to get safely through these moments - if you feel that you can. I will hope that there will be moments of relief when this feeling will lighten.
I will tell you that thereās another person who feels very much the same and youāre not alone.
I will wish for something to shift so that you donāt have to feel like you donāt want to be here.
