I apologize for not being able to elaborate further on that because the words that come to my mind refuse to form coherent sentences.

All I can say is that the question in the title has been running in my head straight for a month now. It can be one of those days, or I start to stagger under the weight of my mental luggage.

PS, I’m seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist if anyone wonders.

    Capitalism is an alienating and dehumanizing system. It would be strange NOT to be depressed in these circumstances. That means you are human.

    I think that it is healthy to be intellectually, socially, and physically active. Scientists studying rats in cages consistently find that the rats in cages with toys and other rats are healthier and smarter than the rats without stimulation. Get involved with an activist group. Have friends over. Go for a walk. Read a good book.

    Then also, progress is the key to happiness. Whatever your goals are, you haven’t accomplished them yet, YET. Keep repeating that word: Yet. Take steps towards your goals every day so you have something to show for all this struggling.

    I hope it gets better. Your twenties are hard, don’t let anyone lie to you that they’re the best times.

      Thanks for your kind advice. I already have a small friend group I hang out with randomly, and I used to help organize comrades before I got brutalized. I’m pretty sure it will get better after my full recovery.
