there's just nothing to look foward to anymore

[immrw]

I don't mean this for me personally. I mean for everyone.

Inflation won't stop, wages aren't going to go up to compensate. Rent is going to continue taking up most people's income. The healthcare is going to continue to collapse as COVID/its long term effects lead to a sicker population with staff leaving due to burnout. Women and LGBTQ+ are losing basic human rights. Climate change is going to accelerate as we enter El Niño. It's a giant clusterfuck of things out of my control but still affect me so heavily. The future is so fucking bleak it feels like there's nothing to fight for anymore.

What's even the point of sticking around if, no matter what I do or how hard I try, things will still get worse?

I have never been able to get over this.

No matter what I do, society will continue to decline. I cannot do anything to prevent this.

What is the point in fixing myself when everything continues to get worse?

 

[Obliviate]

Yes Yes Yes. Everything about this is Yes. Life just seems so meaningless. Although I am glad and can leave in peace knowing that there are still good people out there that are fighting.

 

[AkaRed]

You are so unbelievably correct and it sucks.
This is probably one of the main things that's been demotivating me to even try lately. Rent is goddamn expensive- how does anyone afford anything anymore???

And is it even possible to heal when the environment around us just gets sicker and sicker?

If only things were within our control; then maybe I would continue living.

Yeah spending too much time thinking of those large, systemic problems has greatly fueled my suicidal ideation. I often wish I was more apathetic about it all.

 

[RoundaboutResolved]

Or go the other way, get involved & fight to fix things! Or ctb. Either way...

My parents tell me not to bring new children into the world

Things have to fall apart before a better society can emerge from the ashes. We must return to hunter gatherers with a world population in the millions. Not enough resources for billions.

This world undeniably is such a hellish place so no wonder so many wish to ctb. To me suicide certainly seems like a perfectly logical decision in a world filled with so much endless suffering. People really shouldn't procreate and continue this futile process that never needed to exist, life is completely unnecessary.
