i’m bored of mental health discourse that doesn’t consider capitalism’s effect on people. like sure i take antidepressants to deal with mental health problems, and they change the chemicals in my brain, but the root cause isn’t that the chemicals in my brain were wrong, it’s that we live in an alienating hell system that treats people as commodities
not to be mean, but do you srsly think something else like communism would help your mental health?
i think not having to spend a third of my life doing something i hate surrounded by people i hate in order to not starve would improve my mental health
i think having adequate free access to mental health services would help my mental health
i think not being constantly advertised at and told my worth is measured in how much shit i own or how much men want to fuck me would help my mental health
i think not having to worry about choosing between a roof over my head and a meal in my stomach would improve my mental health
