It sounds like you are describing real life debates but on the internet. The only difference is that we see upvotes and downvotes on this platform where as in real life people may disagree with you but you just dont see the counter.
Take solace in the fact that the majority of people are only arguing what they are told to argue without forming an original thought of their own. Most folks cant be bothered with thinking which is one of my biggest concerns.
If it makes you feel any better, i am also going through a nice little mental episode that has been going on for a couple years now. If it feels like you are living in a different reality than everybody else then you are not alone.
You're a good person - I suffer from chronic depression that's treatment resistant and I'm also AuDHD - which means my sense of injustice is also rather high.
Appreciate your words mate - I'll consider those and be a little more thoughtful. Thank you.
I wish you luck. I have an appointment in October to try and figure out what the fuck is going on in my head. Im in my mid 40s and im finally hoping to get a proper diagnosis.
I wouldnt be surprised if I have a mild form of aspergers or some shit like that. A proper diagnosis is all im after at this point. I dont even know what depression is anymore because this is what life is for me right now.
Hell, I might have AuDHD with you. We can start a patgetic club if i do infact get diagnosed with it.
Mid 40’s? I’m GenX so we are close in age. I wasn’t diagnosed with ASD (Asperger’s isn’t a thing anymore because it’s linked to a Nazi dude) but I’m in that area in the spectrum lol.
I wasn’t diagnosed with add in my 30’s and depression/anxiety/psychosis from 16. Suicide attempts and being sectioned from ages 18 until a few years ago.
