  • What you describe resonates with me deeply because I have been suffering a lot of what your friend seems to be going through now: depression, anxiety, burnout. They feed into each other and are very debilitating disorders. I hope your friend finds their life preserver and can hang in there.

    ~PS. All content is dangerous content to depressed and suicidal people.~


  • I wish I could feature comments. As someone who is still going through burnout recovery, what you and @UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world are saying are both true and important for people to realize.

    The only thing I would like to add is that recovery can and will take a very long time, and people need to allow themselves patience and grace during this process.

    Therapy helps, and even if you can’t afford it, ask your therapist of choice if they have a sliding scale rate. This is a rate they charge based on what you can afford. It doesn’t cost anything to at least ask.

    Prior work does not give you free license to come into this community and be an ass. You are bound by all of the same rules and expectations as all other posters. If that is not acceptable, you are free to go find (or create) a more suitable community to post in. Bigotry of any kind, for any reason, is unacceptable.








  • It’s a difficult path to walk. Even things that were socially okay 5-10 years ago could be abhorrent today. Everything now is especially raw given the current rift between the different groups of certain people. And then there are those who like to poke the proverbial bear for whatever reasons they have, be it for attention, enjoyment, or because they are simply mean spirited. There are also those who do it unintentionally or without malice.

    As I said to another commenter, it’s not black and white and will need to be dealt with on a case by case basis.

    Personally, I find things like the origins of the Adamm’s Family comics interesting. The TV show and movies are staples of our culture, then and now; even if some of their original content was not up to our current standards. But, I also respect that some people may not feel the same as me, and that’s to be expected.

    As long as we all remain respectful, we are encouraged to disagree in this community. It’s the only way we can be a genuine community.

    You can phrase it however you wish, but to continually harass people and their mental capacities will be a fast track to your being banned. If you have a beef with that, you’re welcome to take that up with the powers that be. But I for one will not tolerate anybody calling out anybody else’s mental capacities for any reason.
