How about you do it this time 🤣.

You set the terms, you delivered the source, I just parsed it in exactly the way you originally started it should be. Move your own goalposts and do your own math.

I think it’s capitalisms fault, and I said as much. 🤷‍♂️

Your Wikipedia article does not support your point. Give it a read.

I’m not so much against socialism, as it’s commonly understood in the US, as I am communism or unfettered capitalism.

If this is something that’s coming up often in your life, you might want to consider whether or not you’re seeing through their shit or something else is going on. “If everywhere you go smells like shit, check the bottom of your shoe”.

I’m pretty sure this is how my little brother felt about me before he went to rehab. He’s happy and successful now and we have a great relationship.

I’m not saying you necessarily have any issues at all, just that this is what came to mind reading this post.

YouTube only shows me like 12 channels. I miss variety.

The first thing I noticed when I started Bupropion was changes in behavior and motivation. First keeping up with self maintenance (showering daily, flossing, etc) became easy. Then I started going for walks and later started working out. I noticed an increase in my capacity for emotion, I wasn’t sociopathic when I was depressed, but I just kind of didn’t have it in me to deal with other people’s emotions, I had little empathy. That changed pretty quickly. I gradually found myself self medicating less, some bad habits started to fade. I had the ability to complete tasks I wanted to complete. I surprised myself when I lost weight, again when I quit smoking, then completed a degree, then a masters, and I was just able to keep rolling like a normal person. I kind of caught up with people my age after a decade of not accomplishing anything except surviving.

I feel better, but I don’t think there was ever a moment when I was like “oh shit I’m pretty happy now”, it was more that my life just started to improve as my capacity increased. I’m not smiling all the time or anything but now I look at what I’ve accomplished, my degrees, my career, my little family. I’ve got a pretty good life. All of that has happened in the 10 years since I started bupropion. I can’t put a finger on when I felt better, but I do.

Good luck stranger.
