218. "Cultivate a support system"-how in the hell do people do that these days?
If your family is mostly dead or doesn't give a flying fuck if your alive or dead, then you have to turn to friends. Problem is that people are exhausted, overwhelmed, overworked, and tend to "cocoon" at home instead of showing any real interest in those outside of their immediate family in our modern society. They don't want to deal with anyone who has problems-and who can blame them? Everyone is overwhelmed with their own struggles. If you want to keep people in your life at all anymore you can't admit to having problems with depression. So are you talking about some kind of paid support system like psychologists, or hotlines and non profits for the penniless?
