    The just go to therapy shit is more or less the same as “have you tried yoga”. I have gone to therapy but therapy isn’t some magic cure-all nor will it help with material conditions being shit. I have autism and probably C-PTSD, therapy ain’t gonna help anymore for the simple fact that my problems are materiall in nature since Society is shit and it’s hard for me to even find a job let alone one that won’t push me towards a meltdown.

      Therapy never fixes you problems. It’s there to provide you with the tools to handle and navigate those problems and teach you how to use them.

      You can’t control the world or society or how other people will feel or react. All you can do is controle your actions and reactions. That’s a simple fact of life for everyone. I’m not saying your situation isn’t different from most other peoples but that won’t angry that the world isn’t better won’t help you in any way. Figuring out ways to navigate that shitty world on the other hand will.

      I have a job and it’s a struggle to find reasons to give any fucks anymore. I used to be paid “enough” and according to inflation calculators, I’m making nearly the exact same amount (in terms of buying power) as I did in 2013; but my expenses are definitely higher.

      This isn’t a competition but if I can’t progress in my career at a pace that even rivals inflation, then what the fuck am I even supposed to do?

      My responsibilities have increased, but my buying power is ludicrously the same. It’s infuriating.

      You’re not alone.
