Places where people with very low quality of life come together

[noname223]

What makes these places special? I can remember someone posting about an online place for people with ME/CFS where talking about suicide was prohibited. You only were allowed a positive stance on life and the person desribed the handling of suicidal people as bullying. Take it with a grain of salt I think I know who I am refering to but this was many years ago. I liked this person a lot.

Probably an old people's home/retirment home. It is a sad and lonely place for sure. I think old people think about their relatives a lot and about the people they have lost. I am not sure exactly about the atmosphere. A facility for people with dementia is probably worse. But this is also true for the care worker.

People in war. Soldiers. But in war you often have a feeling you can influence the outcome. But honestly I feel very sorry for all many people who have to fight for Russia in Ukraine. I also feel sorry for Ukrainian soldiers. I am on the side of Ukraine. But Russia gives false promises to poor people in third world countries when they are in Russia they are forced to sign contradicts and then they are used as cannon fodder. I read descriptions of survivers and it sounds really horrifying. In Russia human life isn't worth much except you live in the big cities.

I am not sure where people come together online who have a bad life quality. Certain Youtube bubbles, some discord channels, maybe gore sites, depression forums. But I think you can be nowhere as open as on SaSu about your suicidality.

I spent ten minutes in Wal-Mart this morning, and immediately upon entering saw an emaciated elderly man hooked up to an oxygen tank, slumped over in a wheelchair, parked at the front of the store with no supervision.

Turning the corner, I witnessed a young employee pushing an online shopping cart with tears in her eyes, while a few feet away a woman stood slapping her crying child repeatedly in the face.

In response to this, the nearby pharmacist leaned against his counter and stared into his kiosk with a glassy-eyed expression at nothing in particular.

I was almost run over on my way out.

Most of this occurred to the tune of "Semi-Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind, a song about meth addiction.

(My answer is America.)

I barely leave the house and am only affording a life at all thanks to my alcoholic husband paying the bills. I hate where I live because it's so full of desperation. No nature to turn to, it's way too hot to go outside and I'm in a city. Granted, the U.S. has had extreme heat all over this year but I'm in the south. Never wanted to move down here but it's way too fun for my husband. Way too many people are denying global warming is in even real and those in power want more babies born but could care less about the planet or future generations. Not having kids was the best decision I made in my life.
I try to avoid Walmart like the plague because it's got to be one of the most miserable places. With the economy, I can only imagine that it's gotten even worse.
I try to be grateful for still having a home at all.

I am not against mass shootings; hell, they should happen more often; i can understand it 100%.
Life is a fucking joke when you're not confronted with death.
