    Of course you can only work on yourself, but therapy doesn’t exist in a vacuum and frequently you’re just learning coping mechanisms for the status quo.

    I doubt this is true. This feels like something that I would have told myself before therapy so I wouldn’t have to deal with myself

    What you need to realize though is that you can only affect so much. Mostly if you need help you should help yourself first. Then if you’re happy and capable, you need to help others. Not the other way around. So get with it and don’t hang yourself up on “shit is fucked”. It is, but it has been worse and it also can get worse. But that doesn’t really matter for now, help yourself first if you need to.

    Like ofc it’s not wrong to also help others.

    The situation is hopeless and has always been. But that’s not as bad as it sounds and it frees you and me from the burden of the world. Do what you can, that’s enough.

    I can highly recommend this video for reflecting on hopeless thoughts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJaE_BvLK6U
