    It’s not an oppression-depression Olympics. Because someone else has something worse off or similar does mean you win. Because someone else has something better off than you does not mean you lose.

    There is one thing you can do; Organize. Help people not ever have the same situation you and your family had. Make it so anyone who faced such hardships doesn’t need to, nor anyone else would again.

    I’m sorry you had a rough life, and I hope you feel better soon, but the people who are struggling are not your enemy, they are compatriots in a similar mental struggle. They are not the ones who caused your family pain and strife, but feel it in a similar vein. They are not your enemy.

      Sorry that’s how you interpreted it, my message was intended to make people realize that it’s not a gen Z thing, it’s a systemic issue that’s affected many generations.
