Ya after 30 years of near homelessness(well technically as Im typing this I actually am homeless. Also my mom was homeless when I was born) I am sure that my eternal sadness only stems from living in a condition of eternally dirt broke. I think the studies and video prove me right. EVERY.SINGLE.ONE of my current problems would be solved with just having enough money lol
. It has also been found that rates of depression scale with how low your income is too.

I also really like this video because there is a quote that the dude says in the video that goes along the lines of:
"One of the biggest successes of neolib eralism was convincing most people that depression can ONLY result from deranged internal chemical imbalances rather than as normal reaction to external world shittiness lol. For a lot of ' depressed' people youre probably not even depressed at all ! There is the possibility that your body and brain are just reacting to a fucked world where there are some war mongering, greedy , lazy people ( like musk, george bush, ibn mohammad ,modi, trump, etc... ) who have crazy excesses of resources and wealth. Meanwhile a decent, peaceful , hard worker such as yourself has to scrape by with slave wages and practical homelessness. It is.not that 'CliNiCAl dEpREsSiOn DoesNt ExIst', it clearly does exist, its just that sooome people are having a completely normal depressed reaction to unfair inequities they are beaten up by and see every day...and thats OK. The inequities must be dismantled but their reactions are OK. "
This right here is the quote that I live by↑ There is nothing wrong with feeling like youre angry, depressed, hopeless, whatever negative emotion cause of the easily fixable inequities youre surrounded by daily.
There are a dearth of therapists who acknowledge that someone is literally not depressed in clinical terms . Theyre just dirt broke, ostracized and this results in their current sadness....that's it ! lol! I feel that this is by design cause so many therapists would have to acknowledge that " they alone cannot help this depressed person in front of them with clinical methods or drugs but rsther this person can only be helped through systematic changes that gives them human rignhts that ensure they have access to things to ...well... make them human again . Like a home. And a living wage.And a community that doesnt ostracize them based on how low their income is . And the ability to afford health care or mental health care when they need it. And the ability to afford time off when they need it....That's it
YES PLEASE OH GOD JUST DON'T LET ME DEPEND ON WORKING TO LIVE I HATE THIS SO FUCKING MUCH
ya when I used to have to work 60 hours a week just to live I actually tried my best to get hit by whatever truck or bus was barrelling down the road. The motherfuckers would slow down EVERY TIME goddamnit! I was so close
Living just to work just to live isnt even really living in my opinion. Its just 'surviving'
Yup. My neurochem has always been fucked up, but when I had a job, even on the worst days I could talk myself into just going to bed cos tomorrow would be better and who knew what the future held. But now that I'm unemployed and can't get a job for 2 years and got evicted and living in a house that's gonna be torn down? I can't bring myself to believe the future will be worth the pain. I'm only still breathing because of my cats.
Capitalism is killing me gang represent!
Wooooow! Who knew that a system based entirely on infinite capital accumulation at any expense , at the expense of any relationships, at the expense of whatever the fuck we do to the planet and other species was a baaad system to create a society upon?! Huhh who knew!?
Now that I think abojt it its almost as if humans need each other and need enough to not onky 'survive' but also enough to trive a d actually live rather than what tiny table crumbs the exploiters throw towards them.... Wooow!
