You regard mental health issues as a character flaw in 2023? All of western civilization deals with intergenerational dysfunction and late stage capitalism. Of course we’re stressed out.
Usually we only hear derision regarding mental health from the alt-right. Are you an alpha male? Are you a Brexiteer?
Educate yourself on the harsh conditions of the real world and grow some empathy.
Otherwise there will be no-one left to stand for you when the Leopards come to eat your face.
So when is something bad for your mental health vs “something I don’t like”?
I’m all for mental health, therapy, etc, but I associate being irritated with ads just being normal. Nobody likes them. Use it as a break to rest your eyes with the 20 20 20 rule. Get some water, use the restroom. Guess what, those things are typically good for your mental health.
If we recklessly associate being impatient with mental health, you’re diluting the latter and doing nobody a favor.
If you really have a mental health condition that sends you into mood swings when seeing something as common as an ad, I sure as hell hope you’re getting therapy.
