This isn't normal right

yeah kinda but because when your brain senses immediate threat, the survival instinct kicks in and you unconsciously get out of the way. the same way that you automatically get your hand off something that's hot without consciously thinking "hmm yeah maybe I should stop touching that".

It's trendy, just like all the edgelords who think they're psychopaths.

It's true bro. And even when I felt suicidal, I think I would have got out of the way, because I don't want to die by truck.

Edgy emo kids usually grow out of this.

They really aren't, my nephew in high school said all these depressive outlooks are common amongst his friends. Its deeply concerning

[-]

ElectroMagnetsYo@reddit

I wonder how common the outlook was for medieval peasants for example, considering they also had nothing to look forward to in their future.

Hear me out. What if humanity felt like this for thousands of years? What if it is just a human nature?

We have religions like Taoism talking about "returning to nature" 2500 years ago. How far from nature have we been 2500 years ago?

We always longs for something, we are always feel out of place, we are always lack some deep connection. We want to understand the world but all our understanding can only be expressed in limited amount of words.

I think this greentext is profound in a way that it shows that you are not special. It is not that you are depressed or anxious or not finding a place under the sun. Your father was just like that, your father's father and generations and generations before. And it should give you some peace. You are not depressed, you just feel what every human being felt living thousands of years before you.

Just touch grass and march on you little soldier.

SturmGizmo@reddit

Thinking about things the way you described has helped me more than anything else ever has. I am always reminding myself that the faces I see and the people I meet are experiencing similar feelings underneath their veils. Being in nature by running water helps too.

[-]

Res_Novae17@reddit

It is an evolutionary response. Our brains are wired to feel like shit if we aren't constantly accomplishing something that increases our likelihood of surviving and reproducing, because for millions of years we would be weeded out if we rested on our laurels. Now here we are today with grocery stores and porn and we can meet all our needs without slaying a wooly mammoth every few days, so our brains are like "YOU SUCK! FUCKING DO SOMETHING OR YOU'RE GONNA DIE, ASSHOLE!" all the fucking time.

[-]

AlfredKnows@reddit

It really makes sense. That is why such simple things like going out to jog calms this all down. You say to your brain that you are doing something like running after a prey or something. Especially if after a run you eat something full of protein your brain is calm for a moment. You won.

This is also why shit like practicing gratitude works. You can tell your brain that "damn I am winning and everything is great". This is why people emotionally overeat. You tell your brain that life is fine, I AM EATING so no need to run after prey.

But this is crucial to understand. Because when you feel depressed it is not because you are fucked in the head. It is because it is in your nature to feel like this.

No goyim, it's not the shitty world we live in, it's actually these chemicals in your brain. Trust us, they're out of wack even though we'd never actually test to be sure.

I was at a doctor's office and I saw a boomer lady having to fill out a intake form. She left the mental health part blank and the receptionist came back a few minutes later and said she had to fill it out.

She had a whole fit and kept saying she wasn't depressed and how stupid this all was. Blah blah blah. I filled out the same form and litterly just had to check none of the above and sign it.

Like someone is clearly not happy and doesn't want to admit it. Boomers are easily the most miserable generation because they can't just swallow there pride and do something about it.

That's not the difference between passive and active suicidal ideation though.

[-]

Mautos@reddit

What is, then?

[-]

avagrantthought@reddit

Passive suicidal ideation is thinking about not wanting to live or imagining being dead. Active suicidal ideation involves preparation to kill oneself or forming a plan to do so.

[-]

Mautos@reddit

Good to know that the thing I used to have is called the passive thingy
