I hate Israel. I hate Palestine. I hate the discourse. I hate fucking EVERYTHING.
Being made to think about war every day for years on end is destroying my mental health. I canโt use a computer, watch TV, or go outside without it shoved down my throat. I canโt even go to sleep without having nightmares about it. I want off this fucking ride. I hate being alive so fucking much.
Well then, log off your main acc and create one locked just to the good feelings parts of lemmy
You do have the option of taking a digital break. You must remember thst everyone has a limit, and once you push them hard enough they tend to push back
That must be nice, not having your life put in danger so you can feel depressed about hearing other peopleโs life being put in danger. Hope it lasts for you, but predictions for this century say war is going to become pretty rampant globally, so Iโd recommend you find a way of coping with it better.
Not like you give a shit at all but hate crimes against my kind have skyrocketed in the past few months and I was assaulted by a stranger in public about two weeks ago so I donโt appreciate the implication that this doesnโt affect me personally
Not what you were complaining about or even identifying with. About the only common theme is a desperate love for making yourself out to be the victim after receiving criticism.
The only one trying to live in a bubble of ignorance is yourself, my comment was leading up to the exact opposite, that if it does not affect you personally, it will, so stop acting and ignoring all the people it is affecting personally because of โme, me, meโ and how and when it less severely affects you, and face it.
Getting assaulted by a stranger is bad, huh. Now apply f-ing empathy, get some off of ebay if you must. Just donโt try to get me to empathize with playing the part of an ignorant fool.
The only escape from something you cannot escape is to embrace it. The thing that degrades mental health is being unwillingly exposed. If the thing cannot be avoided, the only other move is to willingly expose yourself to it.
Iโm gonna willingly expose myself to a bullet if I canโt get some rest without nightmares soon
So these nightmares are coming to you without your consent. Thatโs why your mental health is declining. To go the other direction, you face those nightmares willingly.
One way to do this would be to write down one of your nightmares. Nobody forces you through that writing other than yourself. It happens at your pace, at your initiative.
That willing approach is the path out of your sickness.
Please try this before you try shooting yourself.
Palestine supporters are fairly unique in the fact that not caring or not having a position is unacceptable to them. You must care, you must share their viewpoint, nothing else is possible.
You didnโt see the same reaction to, for example, Ukraine being invaded. Indifference was acceptable.

In the example of Ukraine, countries have taken countless measures to pressure Russia. In this case, counties are complicit in the genocide. Thereโs a difference. People donโt protest when politicians do at least the bare minimum.
Might have something to do with the fact that Russia was unprovoked. Which is very different than this conflict.
I donโt think this is unique at all, itโs the core of all politics both left, right, authoritarian, liberal, etc. No matter what you believe, even if itโs nothing, there are always twice as many people against you than with you. Itโs enough to make someone withdraw entirely.
