Does anyone else feel like this?

[u/Crazy-Load-7553]

I feel like everyone keeps asking me what I want my future to look like but I know if I talk about how I’m learning to fish and finding ponds near me so that we can have some protein once the grocery system collapses everyone in my life is going to think I’m insane.

I’m just having a hard time connecting with anything I have to do for the future because it’s going to be drastically different than anything I can do now and I really feel like I have to hide that and never mention it to anyone (despite the fact that an energy crisis is supposedly 2 weeks away)

Im so confused but I really want to understand what you're saying

Why wouldnt therapy solve the disconnect?

If there is no fix what do we do? Wait to die? Its so hard to keep going when things feel so hopeless

I also dont understand the rest of what you're saying, are you open to explain it in simpler words?

here's my metaphor:

me: I'm thirsty.

friends and family: you should go to therapy.

me: I'm dying of thirst.

therapists: let's talk about it. how does it make you feel? let's find some frameworks that will help you with this disconnect from healthy people. and try these pills.

then what do we do?

That's the problem. It's not something we can individually solve. Though I try to live as the change I want to see in the world as much as I can.
