The state of the world has made my depression exponentially worse.

Are there people whose depression has gotten much worse because of the events of the past several years? The censorship, the dehumanizing attacks when you don't mimic the mainstream narrative, the psyop being directed at you if you don't agree with what the authorities tell you . . . I don't recognize this country anymore. And being from a "3rd World" corrupt country, it is clear as day that the US is now there. I don't want to go political. But the banana republic this place has become and the COVID lies are the source of extreme despondency for me. I don't see a reason to be hopeful about anything. The world is insane; the elite are drooling over the power grab that's happening. I don't know how one copes with this.

If you think I'm a crazy conspiracy theorist, please just ignore this post. I don't want to get attacked on this site, too. I'm tired of being belittled or called horrible names because of my beliefs. I want to hear from people who understand my point of view and can offer insights. Well, even if you can't offer insights, it helps me to be able to commiserate, too.

Your not wrong. Between the extreme right and the extreme left plus covid the U.S. has become a corrupt banna republic. Covid accelerated the process.

Yes, Lonepain and Morgie1, this EXACTLY. COVID destroyed friendships and broke down bonds,,,,,just like it was designed to. Its so hard to live where I do ( Wash, DC) and have a contrary opinion. We are a corrupt Banana Republic. Im just glad, whatever your politics are, that you can both recognize this and be able to articulate it.!

Well dear friend as far I learned, when we go to the crowded place we hear noise, your duty should be to focus on what actually you want achieve by canceling out the noise, I barely care about what's on the news I just listen headlines once a day without going to details. If some news come that there will be disaster we better prepared our self for to save our lives, if their is hyper inflation we need to save on unnecessary expenditure. Some news effect us directly and some are just news that we can't do anything about it or that do not directly related to us or some may be just opinions of others we don't need to follow that. The best thing is to avoid news and tv and other sources of constant bombardment of information that we don't have to process in our mind, these days social media and smartphone making normal people sick, avoiding it is better than regretting latter. Overloading our mental capacity with unnecessary things is a source of depression. We should relax ourselves as much as we can specially people who are on medication. I hope this helps a little
