I have had multiple conversations with my mother lately about the fact that my depression keeps coming back, no matter what I do. It feels like I have tried everything, from being more social, therapy, working out, eating healthy, being outside more, finding hobby’s, trying new things etc, and every time I think ‘I just need to do this and then I’ll be happy’, which never is the case. I find myself thinking about capitalism and how most of my issues stem from it I think. I’m also neurodiverent (ASD) which makes me (currently) a ‘non-contributing’ member to society, by not working or being in education. I don’t see myself ever being independent and owning a house, having a stable job, marriage or kids. Every day that I try to ignore the system and just do whatever makes me feel good in the moment, my mind wanders off to all the injustice in the world and how people in my country keep saying ‘how great our country and system is’, which makes me super upset. Does anyone else relate in any way or have any advice, I feel like I am just not meant to exist on this earth at this time and will never be of any use to anyone, and am also too mentally tired to try any more… (F, 19 yrs)
