You have a legit reason...

I have no sympathy for most of the current first world problems though.

It sounds stupid to say it, but it was a shock to me around 28/29 that no, I probably won't run a billion dollar company as a CEO.


Did you set that as your goal in your early 20s?

There is something liberating about being an average Andy and just doing your job and going home imo.

You will never get fulfillment from work. I have much more fulfillment from hobbies, friends and families than I will ever get dealing with work and clients.

As to women, they can GirlBoss all day long but they will end up buying a dog and dying alone and forgotten. The corporations don't give a frick about them and will use them up and spit them out just like they do to us men.

Noone is special. Once you realize that and accept it, life gets better imo.

It’s tough being treated like a princess the first half of your life and then being expected to actually deal with things you don’t like or have to do things you might not want to do.

Agreed. I work to make money but that's about it. When I'm dying, I doubt I'll wish I pulled more 10 hr days

Karen's calling that stupid get therapy commercial ad?

They will show women young and old, tranny's, gay people, and if they wake up tired and the world is not blooming daisies-CALL A THERAPIST. Or- Call vegetables in a box to cook organically and be accepted.

Also, the new commercials showing fat women in new underwear that is like a maxi pad and or taking a crap on the toilet. It is weird.

just finished empire of pain, the book on the Sackler/oxycontin

One of the things that was noted in the book was that oxy was prescribed at significantly lower rates to black and brown people.

Could be a lack of insurance thing, a financial issue. Or an institutional racism issue and doctors are less likely to give scripts that can be abused by black people.

White women are generally soft and take pills for just about everything. There is also a large percent who are obsessed with “healing” because they’ve convinced themselves and every other woman around them that adversity and anything else negative that occurs to the rest of us on a daily basis is trauma.

White women - 9M
White men - 2.5M ish

That's not surprising. The male brain isn't as prone to default to outside sources for help, we are "fix it on our own" or "deal with it" by default.

Women are more communal, so they find comfort in external forms of support.

Bingo.

Now I might like most of my work and the people associated, but when I retire frick that.

Depression and anxiety stem from judging yourself vs others primarily and there's only one person you have to impress...yourself. If you have high enough standards, everyone else will be as well.

I leave at the end of the day having to feel good about my contributions, but its not my life and I can find plenty of other places to work here.

There are more of them than than the rest of the groups. By % would be a better comparison.

Meh. Even if you ignore the numbers, you can see their rate of increase is much higher. Unless you think they've increased similarly population wise.

Now do illegal drugs. See if numbers flip. One way or the other people are taking legal and illegal drugs. I bet the graph flips on illegal drugs. How do you suppose cartels get rich? America consumes more drugs than any other country. Most people have damaged brains from different things and our diet doesn’t fix them. Read some books on how to fix/improve your brain and you won’t need drugs.

I know several that take Wellbutrin for reasons other than depression. I wonder how much stats are skewed based on the RX and not the diagnosis?

But also, doctors are quick to prescribe shite.

Because most white women are liberal retards who want to hold cardboard signs and pretend they are helping when they really have no life and sit on the internet all day posting BLM and tranny flags and virtue signaling. That shite is stressful!

Big Pharma got hit hard by the Opioid crackdown but they will expand revenue streams where possible. They are probably behind all of the sensationalist media that leads to people thinking they need this stuff to cope.
