Quote:You need a place to start. You got yer diet better, now start by getting your brain better. Use the next months. Start by acknowledging reality. Every day, in every way. Stop running from it by downplaying everything. Anxiety is there to help decide appropriate threat levels. It's STRESS you need to stop. Maybe find a hobby to read about online, learn something?? I read at least 4 medical articles all the way through every single day. LEARN... SOMETHING. May I suggest Psychology??

Your life would be 1000% different if you had access to mental health care and pills that work. I find that sad that you can't understand what it would change for you. Neurochemistry is EVERYTHING.
Quote:And, indeed, as he listened to the cries of joy rising from the town, Rieux remembered that such joy is always imperiled. He knew what those jubilant crowds did not know but could have learned from books: that the plague bacillus never dies or disappears for good; that it can lie dormant for years and years in furniture and linen-chests; that it bides its time in bedrooms, cellars, trunks, and bookshelves; and that perhaps the day would come when, for the bane and the enlightening of men, it would rouse up its rats again and send them forth to die in a happy city.

Neurochemistry is EVERYTHING.6ix could be having an existential crisis. Pandemics tend to worsen the condition: what is my purpose? what does life mean? You know, the whole sophomoric philosophical thing. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/existentialism/ When I think of coronavirus, The Plague by Albert Camus, an existentialist novel, comes to mind.

Do Right, Be Right. :)I used to see this kind of hopelessness and despair 60 years ago centered around H-bombs. Nothing had any meaning because at any moment the world would come to an end. Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. Then there was the Population Bomb. We would all die because there was gonna be 25 billion people on Earth by the year 2020 with not enough food for them all. Then there was talk of Armageddon coming at any moment and we had to be good Christians because Jehovah would destroy the wicked. Then there was the Vietnam War, which had to be won or else the Commies would conquer America, making us slaves. Then there was wave after wave of panic over the rising murder rate and the only solution was own a gun and jail millions of "criminals". So many worries, so little real purpose/meaning. It is always something and there are certain Americans that cannot handle the stress and will act both stupid and crazy until they die of their own inanity, never understanding they did it to themselves. The World is too much for them . . . Maybe they need a philosopher? Or Fuhrer? Or a psychologist? Or Jesus?

Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: I think you might be projecting. My life has changed very little while this began and continues on. Once the weather turns, I have plenty of work to do on my house, no job to keep me from it, and I'll be getting plenty of sun. Just like I did last summer, and with stimulus checks I hardly even need because I'm a good shepherd of my money. Spring won't fix what's changed in your life though. Everything around you is different now. You're going to be the guy with a lot of free time who has no clue what to do and not do with it. Here's a little tip from the wise... Don't fill that hole with alcohol. There's plenty of other stuff to fill it with. Do Right, Be Right. :)

Quote:Originally posted by THG: New Orleans would have canceled Mardi Gras if feds had taken coronavirus more seriously, Mayor says New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell appeared on CNN Thursday afternoon saying if she had more information from the federal government, she would have pulled the plug on carnival season. “When it's not taken seriously at the federal level it's very difficult to transcend down to the local level in making these decisions,” Cantrell said. “In hindsight, if we were given proper direction, we would not have had Mardi Gras and I would have been the leader to cancel it.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/new-orleans-would-have-canceled-mardi-gras-if-feds-had-taken-coronavirus-more-seriously-mayor-says/ar-BB11LjTY?ocid=msedgntp Trump!!!

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.
