>Collapse looks more like a bridge collapsing, or political figure getting assassinated and it never making a single headline, because that could show that things are breaking. Becoming the domain of rumor but even then with the rumors no one will do anything about it. It is the constant insistence that the state is currently at the best that it has ever been and any detractors can go fuck themselves. Its la resistance being too complacent to yknow. Do the resistance.

It looks like an endlessly escalating series of stupid and petty rules. A lot of which no one follows on the daily but that you are forced to keep up the image of following lest your neighbor reports you. Its anger that is endlessly redirected either at minorities or outside sources.
>Its the endless banality of collapse, the admission from everyone that the dream is dead and that we're all living in the husk of whatever was left after it had been stripped for every single penny that it was worth.

No. Trauma absolutely is capable of destroying someone to the point of being unable to contribute anything. I would know, as I said my head injury is what snapped me out of it, but that was a very specific set of circumstances and a VERY dangerous hail mary of a shitload of mushrooms in one go to try to crash course fix myself nearly destroying myself even more in the process, if not entirely. I dont think many people have a full concept of just how deeply trauma is capable of ripping out your soul.
But also because of that very fact that it was such an absurdly specific series of events that lead to me being able to shed my cognitive defects? I cannot advocate it for anyone else, and on top of that I cannot advocate taking care of someone because past a certian point it is just palliative care.
One of the most horrific things about it was the realization that the injury practically threw my entire personality at the window and I ended up doing way more thinking about identity than anyone should ever do, and I realized that when my depressed friends say 'I wish I could wipe away myself and start over with a new personality' I cant even say that they were wrong. I cannot say 'no you must treasure yourself' because honestly? Having most of my personality wiped was exactly what I needed.

I hate modern therapyspeak with such a firey passion. Its such a pedantic condescending way to speak to someone in such a way that it makes it seem like they are completely unfixable and when people use it to refer to themselves then they are just self perpetuating their own victimhood. People seemingly forget that coping mechanisms are meant to be temporary not permanent fixtures of life.
Using therapyspeak strips yourself of all agency. Very few people are actually mentally ill and thinking otherwise is just shrinking personal responsibility.
Society.
