      Okay, if you’re not American odds are much better there’s helpful services! If you give me a province/region/country, I’ll happily look into what mental health services are available.

      I think I found the real problem. You won’t get strong of you don’t lift, you won’t get fast if you don’t run, and you won’t fix your head if you aren’t willing to put in effort.

        I don’t think it’s healthy to contort your mind to accept and enjoy being a slave

          Agreed, however gainful employment is not slavery. There’s suffering in every human being alive, you aren’t a slave because you have mental health issues.

            When the “market rate” for the vast majority of jobs pays lower than what people need to live as more than slaves then effectively they are enslaved on a systemic level.

            Living conditions that enable people to have actual freedom. Like having agency in their society, having affordable human needs, and having financial freedom be obtainable in time for old age.

          It is THE most relevant to your problem. I have friends like you, they are miserable but never change anything about themselves to improve their life. I was the same, went to therapy, opened up and untangled the bullshit that was my brain. Takes effort man.

          You see the replies don’t you? There is more than one person pointing at the problem.

            I’ve been where OP is. It’s easy to blame your job for your misery and it might even be the case, but if you don’t take an objective look, then there is an unreliable narrator in your story. It’s easy to forget the good things and focus on the bad. It’s hard to look in the mirror and think, maybe I need a new perspective.

          And what are your problems that make their point irrelevant?
