Is mental health on the shroomery declining? 4

Is it just me, or is anyone else noticing that several (many) posters seem unwell lately? There really seems to be an uptick in delusional thinking.
Perhaps people are really starting to feel the impact of Covid isolation, racial tensions, fires, poverty etc? Or maybe it's all the media that we consume-- never really knowing at this point in history what's real and what's an outright lie.
Sometimes I get annoyed when these posters continue to post excessively in an unhinged manner, but then I think that perhaps this is their only outlet.
In any case, get outside and get some sun/rain on your face. Stay well everyone.

theres a guy in all the fasting subreddits I frequent who is obviously schizophrenic, and I seen one guy go off on him telling him to stop posting and if the mods were actually active he wouldnt be able to post and all this shit
I responded telling him to chill with the censorship, maybe reddit is all the socializing he gets in life, if he wants to post insane bable thats his right

We're having a rough year, most of us.
Me I quit all drugs but yea the isolation is getting to me. Lost an aunt to Covid and my best friend to ALS, more death expected before the end of this year, I got my best friend's death well forecast prior to it happening but along with it the mention of others.
My logic's good cause I quit the drugs but feeling quite MEH quite often.
I started off a competition of shit selfies in OTD so at least you could say I still give a shit 
COVID's gonna do us man, during the cold season of the northern hemisphere. This is not going to be fun.
A lot of people are resorting to excessive substance abuse to cope with the highly Yin nature of this year, and that messes up minds.
We're entering the process of a societal paradigm shift and in order to shift paradigms you have to first let go of the old one to then get on board with the new one.
Many are inbetween paradigms right now which is reflected in the of this year.

2020 sure is challenging everyone's sanity and that cannot be denied/ignored.
The days events are turning into fodder for trolling threads in which the same people line up on the same sides and call eachother names like nazi, racist, libtard, commie or just human garbage. I would like to say the vitriole has gone up a notch on the left but to be fair the other side has been telling people they will burn in hell for their sins for a while which is pretty terrible too.
Maybe we all need to remember that we are humans first and because someone doesnt agree with you doesnt make them less human nor is it fair to attribute responsibility to them for things they didnt do because the opinion is shared by others that did do things.

As my spirit guide puts it: "You all are on about getting back to normal after COVID but I hate to break it to you, that is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. The old paradigm is just DEAD, humanity is riding on two flat tyres and if it doesn't watch out the rim's gonna bend and you'll have to go on on foot. There is no "back to normal" becasuse the times you grew up in, the 80s and 90s, where petroleum use doubled every decade and pollution wasnt too bad are JUST PLAIN OVER. You cant "go back to same old" but have to invent a whole new routine, of cooperation, of local sourcing instead of flying stuff in from all over the world, of working together to find a way to keep the seven billion on you on this planet and the ecosystem going, at all. The old paradigm died and the COVID lockdowns are actually an OPPORTUNITY to start over from scratch into new wayus of running your world. Its NEVER going to be like it was because there isn't the oil, there arent the resources and pollution is reaching critical levels. Its DO or DIE."

Your spirit guide is awfully preachy and judgemental asante. This illustrates the point I was trying to make, the statement leaves no room for debate, stating conclusions as fact and proscribing solutions rooted firmly in your own beliefs.
Instead of saying what you (or your spirit guide) thinks and asking for other opinions you/your spirit guide has put forth a strawman that is either agreed to or the person disagreeing will be labeled ignorant or something along those lines.
Strawmen are good for some situations but they tend to result in binary yes/no feedback, the strawman is always personal too, it is yours and not one constructed by the community and therefore creates division.

Not at all.
He states his piece and you are perfectly welcome to disagree or write it off as nonsense.
You shouldnt feel discouraged by a voice of confidence.
He didnt say it to discuss it, its just how he says it, lets call it his opinion.
My beliefs tend to follow my Spirit Guide's, not as much the other way around.
We disagree on some things.
You can attack that he states it with confidence as the way it will be, but thats just a manner of speaking.
People are completely free to disagree and dond have to take it as gospel.

Maybe you're just paying it more attention. You seem to be online more than you used to be..? Or I could be wrong. I would agree that people are probably more stressed than usual with the state of the world but honestly nothing seems out of the ordinary aside from maybe a few extra folks hinting toward self harm when usually that stuff happens more in the winter.. Northern hemisphere winter anyway

I mean i am here now, but I mean I do not "stick around" or "hang out here" I consider this place a conservative website which tolerates bigotry to a very insane degree, so I tend not to "stay" but that is just my opinion.
