    5. PMTSD related anxiety and depression
    6. 2 more pneumothorax

    13. Hit 280 lbs

    17. discovered my wife sexting the guy she cheated on me with after being in marriage therapy for 4 years

    Jesus christ, is this resilience, or are we all so burnt out that we just accept everything getting worse always.

    Like I get the joke in Russia is "and then it got worse." But Jesus christ, it can't get worse if it's always bad can it?

    Not trying to dismiss your sufferings but I still think our generation had it way better than our grandparents, and probably better than 90% of the people in the world if you live in an advanced economy. For instance my grandfather went through the bloodiest war in human history, a bloody civil war, and a famine that killed millions of people. The problem right now is getting all the negative information that you have no control over from the internet, that's why I stay away from tuning into any news these days.

    2023 is literally better than every year in human history that came before it. People are just negative, it's part of our nature to not be content and constantly push for improvement for ourselves and others.

    Depends. For my country we were on the verge on a civil war, and then a massacre started a real outwards war... Guess the silver lining is we won't have a civil war anytime soon...

    There are places that are worse, for sure, and I'm sorry to hear that. But the average is better. Just like the existence of really hot days does not disprove climate change, really terrible events in certain places do not disprove the overall trend of things getting better.
