That’s because sometimes the good and healthy response to external stimuli, is deep sadness. You can’t just medicate away all perceptions of reality. The idea that you should even try is toxic. It’s a capitalist fever dream to medicate away anything that makes someone even slightly less productive to the rich’s interests.
I am quite familiar. I have desired the sweet embrace of death since I was 6. Literally all of my life that I remember. I said deeply sad because it’s more succinct than all that you said. My point is that, that feeling of hopelessness and exhaustion IS A REASONABLE RESPONSE to the world we live in. Or rather, an understandable biological response. It’s not something that should be medicated away, we should change society to avoid that for more people.
