[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I fully get the social media thing.

But, bear with me... is EVERYONE not a complete mess since like 2020? I personally have been reeling ever since the pandemic, Trump presidency, shootings that only seem to be getting worse, general shittiness of everything (restaurants, etc).

I notice people seem 100% unhinged while driving and in a lot of customer-service interactions.

This is not just teens who are on their phones too much. The world has sort of felt like it's been ending for 3-4 years.

I have been to SEVERAL funerals that have been COVID or COVID adjacent (including suicide) in the past couple years. I am barely hanging on by a thread.

Why should teens feel any better than I do in my mid-40s?[/quote]

I agree, I have no financial, relationship/family or health concerns. Have never experienced depression or mental illness and each month since Covid I feel less and less like life has purpose. It was like life shut off and I have yet to turn back on, just going through motions. And I suspect that is magnified 10x for college age students as they are burden with trying to figure out what to do with their lives. Fortunately my college age kids seem okay and happy but I feel like the bottom could fall out at any time. I hope NC State is able to prevent any more deaths this school year. [/quote]
