    I absolutely agree that prioritising your own mental health is something everyone should do, but don’t you think that governments and corporations are even less likely to do anything if people like yourself just throw up their hands in frustration and give up?

    There are ways of maintaining good mental health, but I’m not sure doing a full 180 is one of them.

      It’s certainly helped me! I focus on earning as much money as possible and spending it on things I enjoy. That makes me happy. Wringing my hands and worrying about the impending collapse of the environment makes me very unhappy and angry. Especially when I have zero control over it.

      I’m very glad there are stronger people like you however, it gives me hope that maybe we dig ourselves out of this hole. Thank you
