Man I feel this one! Its been a tough few years of adjusting. Swinging too much one way and now maybe slightly correcting.

We also have Netflix and other tech which i feel seriously introverts and depresses people, there's some really dark stuff on netflix which makes it easy to get in a negative headspace and sit at home and do nothing which propels that negative head space.

I feel like if covid happened in 2006 we would have been fine mentally, but it happened at a time where technology was just ready enough to try 'support' us and we used that to our own demise, it was stressful.

I guess every generation has learnings and ours was that technology shouldnt be used for everything and that some things are meant to be 'traditional' cause it makes us happy.

Also that healthcare should cover free/discounted life coaches and therapy lessons, not diagnose people as sick or depressed and cover them up with pills.
