I recently made a comment bitching about how I didn’t have time to enjoy my life because of the 9-5 grind and one of the replies I got basically amounted to this and “get screened for depression”. No shit I’m depressed, I’m not compatible with the world I live in.
In the UK if you need an anti depressant, they will be prescribed after a ten minute conversation. On the other hand if you want to treat the underlying condition that is causing the depression you have a very steep hill to climb. For example, it is estimated that around 30% of male prisoners have ADHD. Lately I have stopped thinking of the UK as an ethical society.
Yeah, I could probably get something prescribed but I’m not really interested in slapping a bandaid on a larger issue. It’s just frustrating that I’m not even able to vent without some asshole dismissing my perspective.

Best I could do is a home made Ai therapist. I’m not rich enough to buy emotional and psycological support.
