I apologize, I'm not assuming to know anything about your path in life.

perhaps I meant, you should be grateful instead that your brain perseveres. And can handle that sort of load.

that's the most important skill to have. It allows the wonderful growth of every other trait.

my brain lacks that capacity, so I'm on the road to recovery.

that's the problem in america, people have to make a choice.

homeless and miserable or employed and miserable.

it doesnt help that there is a war going on between employers and emplyess.

or that mental health centers are backed up for months, some years.

thankfully mental health apps offer a bundle of features that were helpful to me.

like you said, its important to put in the work for the life you want. Honestly this is abetter quote than the one op posted.

my point is that the quote from op is a nice sentiment, sure.

but it has the same tone deafness as "let them eat cake" I'd argue.

this quote is nice, but american politics have decided their priorities, mental health is not one of them.

I get what it means, if its stressing you out too much dont do it.

but that implies that stress is bad.

There is good stress and bad stress.

this is the core of mental health, trying to find the balance between overfeeling or underfeeling.

some numbers I found.

if I recall were at 40 school mass shootings this year.

55 percent of people that need mental health treatment dont get it.

80 percent of people with autism dont get treatment.
