    I know I’ll get backlash for this, but I’m genuinely curious

    I feel an incredibly high sense of injustice everyday. It’s depression turned anger. Actually I don’t feel entitled to ‘a life better than everyone else’, just a life better than this

    The grass on my side of the yard is dead, so I’m not just imagining how green it is.

    Many people do. I admit so do I at times but I’m learning to accept that you are only given what is destined for you.
    There is a quote which goes something like “whatever is written for you will reach you even if it’s between two mountains and whatever is not written for you will not reach you even if it’s between your lips”
    Also practicing gratitude daily helps

    never been able to put it into words like this, but HELL yeah i do. like u/no-progress-3628 said, i also feel a disproportionate amount of injustice every single day. it’s exhausting and draining – definitely agree with it being depression turned rage. 2025 is gonna be one hellllll of a year

    edit: editing to add that in my last appt with my psychiatrist, i had to try and convey to her that i am NOT suicidal, but am very much struggling to see a future in this world given the current state of everything. i’ve struggled with suicidal thoughts and ideations for as long as i can remember, but i do not and have never actually wanted to die. i know i was incarnated here for a bigger purpose than i can see rn, but it’s getting harder and harder to keep up that motivation to find the purpose

    Well that’s kind of how I ended up where I am now. I went back to school in my 20s and picked a very hard major that almost nobody can do. I gave up all social life and just focused on getting this degree. It was ridiculously hard. I suffered for a while. But since I didn’t take the easy way and actually got a very difficult to obtain qualification, I’m not set for life in a pretty cushy job that is also recession proof.

    So you can set yourself up pretty well if you agree to suffer for a while. The hardest part is actually getting the qualifications for that “better life” if you’re not willing to go though that anguish, you will just struggle eternally

    I feel entitled to a better life because of the steps I’m taking to get there. I don’t feel like anyone owes me anything either. Creating the life I want, which has been a long process. But living the beginning stages of that life feels great!

    I do for other people. Some people are dealt an insanely shit hand. It’s hard to hear about what people have been through, and even worse knowing there are horrible people out there living a much better life who don’t deserve it

    Yes. I’ve been fighting against my son’s abusive pedophile father for literally seven years so far due to the constant racism in the United States court system.
    The feeling you are left to live with after life changing injustice is heavy. Especially when it happens again and again.
    I feel like I deserve a better life.
    I feel like my son does too.
    If not in this lifetime, I feel entitled to a better life in the next…otherwise what the fuck is all of this pain for?
