If people only knew wat mental illness is
This is why we all need a VOICE. No one wants our story, they call us the thinkers of dark thoughts and do not want to be around us unless we are prepared to talk small talk. The cult of optimism has bulldozed the earth and made the underprivileged believe they can get on if they WORK hard enough for the overprivileged. So we have children sitting on garbage piles in the third world finding "tradeable waste" becoming toxic with low life expectancy. We have the homeless rooting all over town for pop cans to be able to afford a smoke (Evil Big Tobacco) or some crack (evil drug cartels). We have corporations put out missives that are beyond cynical like this one:

I feel threatened by people who do not tolerate dark thoughts. Knowing that we are at the brink of ending it all we can be strong enough to have a voice. If Greta Thunberg can do it, so can we. World leaders are distancing themselves from her because of her impact on the anxiety of young people, calling her an apocalyptic witch.

I can feel you...my husband take depression for real. He only feel with someone when one have cancer or a broken bone. We have a lot of fights. He often say about people: that's a psycho and things like that. Then I get angry and finding me in the situation of teach him some psychology. I'm sad and stuck in a toxic marriage and can't finde the courage to just move away. Too much other stuff in life which's not worthing to move on in my life. It's hard but at least when I will ctb he hopefully will understand a little about struggling and that the pain is real. I wish you the best.

People cannot be empathetic for too long. If you have cancer and you do not die in the predicted time frame. all hell breaks loose. If you are mentally ill and do not get better, all hell breaks loose. People want you to LIVE or die because they are uncomfortable with humans threatening suicide. There are no realistic answers to suffering and disease. No one wants to be stuck with looking after you or with paying someone to look after you. They do not want to listen to someone like Greta Thunberg holding powerful male white capitalists accountable. Their names are: Bill Gates, Amancio Ortega,
Warren Buffett, Carlos Slim Helú, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Michael Bloomberg.
We all need to help Greta, get our rationale out there why we want to die. Much of it has to do with the emotional insecurity of this earth. People are too "busy" with their own idea of accomplishing something to think about why 50% of the planetary population is on incomes around $100 or $200 per person per year, a situation where they are threatened by food insecurity and other lethal deprivations). The reason why 50% of the planetary population is subsisting in a most undignified way is that we HAVE NOT succeeded in the 1940's goal of building safety nets that would eliminate this state of offensive indignity. The fact that we are in the year 2020 without having eradicated the indignity of living in utter poverty around the globe is testament to our dumb greed and our inability to use capitalism wisely. To create the much quoted Trickle Down Effect that was promised and never happened. The other testament to our dumb greed is global destruction of the environment by pollution and warming. Greta Thunberg is on that and we all need to be on that because this is what drives the emotional insecurity of humans on this planet. Unless we are delusional, we have no hope.
