The reality of life is that we will all die. Some will die quietly, peacefully, surrounded by loved ones. Some will die messily, painfully, alone and afraid. This is the reality we must all live in and accept.

It’s very possible that our species will die out. That is not an inherently bad or evil thing. Countless species have come and gone from Earth. Whether we destroy ourselves through war and ignorance, or we continue to thrive, doesn’t matter right now. What does matter is you.

You describe symptoms of depression and anxiety. You are sad and scared, and this is in part due to feeling powerless to fix the world. However, the only thing you have power over is yourself. Focus on helping yourself before you try to help the world. Try to find peace within yourself before seeking it in the world. The world is not, and has never been, a place of peace.

If you’d like practical advice, then I’d say stay away from weed and THC if it’s making you anxious. Keep away from alcohol as it will just exacerbate your depressed feelings. If you haven’t already, please discuss your feelings with a therapist and see a psychiatrist for mental health diagnoses and treatment. If either of these hasn’t worked for you before, I’d urge you to seek second opinions.

Sounds like you did the right thing! Glad Kevin is out there living his best life.

Dude, that’s a chicken…

Not saying you’re wrong, but do you have any reason or evidence you can cite as to why you believe this? Like, my two cats cuddle up in some remarkably goofy, and sometimes uncomfortable looking, positions. No sedatives required.

:P

Khajit has many fine wares!

Does Nixon’s head in Futurama count?

Yikes! Should put a jumpscare warning in the title or something!

Please tell Bella for me that she is a beautiful kitty!

I’ve got it toooo!

I’m fairly certain your dog is actually a sloth

Because it’s profitable, and all the corporate side of things cares about is profit.

Bowie should be on the cover of the next edition of Dogue magazine.

It warms my heart just a little to see crooks robbing crooks.

I dunno, if a government cares enough to look into this then the corpos might get some VERY sharp slaps on their wrists.

“That’s his eager face.”
