one size fits all solution

I found this a little too relatable.



From the description of the video:

But seriously, if you're struggling with your mental health, please seek help. Here are some worldwide resources that could help:

Or perhaps it's all about choosing to be happy.

If they work, they will be good.
I have dealt with these issues for many years and I talk about it openly when its safe.
I am surprised how many people just do not know how to handle tis issue.
I suggest they dont need too, just be there.

This one is a bit hard to watch for those of us who came of age in the 20th century



Just smile and everything will be fine

Depression be like

The last one is so relatable!

The second to last one is still relevant even well into the twenty-first. I heard that in the 2010s, too, and can still hear its echoes as late as last week. (I wasn’t even depressed, just exhausted.)

A song springs to mind. So much of it describes the grief around ecological destruction and other problems that are hard to do anything about.

I had a dream that I was flying above a penitentiary
Me and my friends risin’ up above it and we were free
I woke up I was mistaken, I was choking on my frustration
Was tryin’ to get back to that destination beyond civilization.

I woke up I ate my breakfast, couldn’t think of what to do next
I sat there in contemplation trying to wrap my brain around all this desecration
And just when my hope was gone I looked out on the lawn
Saw the birds takin’ off in formation they were beyond civilization.

Then I dreamed that I was gone but I wasn’t really gone
I was just down there in the soil with all my grandkids tramplin’ on.
There was laughin’ and singin’, there was joy and elation
And I believe that they made it beyond civilization

I had a dream that I was flying above a penitentiary
Me and my friends risin’ up above it and we were free
