The only thing that has ever improved my mental health in any measurable capacity is making more friends. That's literally it
The way isolation plays on your psyche, and the way that a solid support system can improve your life is insane. One of the worst things that we did as a society is removing most avenues to find this kind of thing, and the over reliance on the idea of getting better on your own

'#so here's the thing about the comment on hyperindividualism#self-care and mindfulness are SOLD to you#as part of capitalism#isolation serves a purposes within a specific type of society#so#you receive 'solutions' which are predicated on you being the single point of failure#you can address this with Hard Work and Money the two western panaceas#no one else needs to do anything!#never reach out to lonely people! just force them to do it all themselves#then isolate them for being weird and lonely!'
