things getting worse faster than one can cope

[Sakura94]

It's hard for me to believe it but somehow the world aka just general existence just seems to keep continuing on its downward spiral, outdoing itself. You'd have thought the brain would get used to it and to an extent this is probably true. We are designed to adapt to our environment because ultimately the body/brain's job is to make sure the DNA contained within continues. So, suicidal as we are, we've persisted for a time. But the downward spiral is now accelerating faster than the brain can adapt to it thus the compulsion to ctb grows.
At any rate this is how I understand it and having some awareness the mind's limits has provided me a little extra bandwidth to continue.
Do you feel things are getting worse too fast to manage?

Honestly world has always been the absolute worst. lol It has only taken me few decades to realize this fact. Just look at our history, it is filled with all types of violence and constant struggle for independence. </3

Edit: Majority of people are pro-lifers who seem to think you must live on and procreate no matter how miserable our lives become. Sadly only small number of people are able to see the meaninglessness of existence.

Yes nature has always been red in tooth and claw. But there is some sort of standard mental setting we have for those not born within war and strife. Every year now seems to plunge us further into indiginities, whether it is mass surveillance, global lockdowns, isolation, growing hate groups, lack of economic security ect. I could take a couple and manage but it seems they are all coming together. And if only a percentage of /r/collapse is to be believed then things are going to get far worse and the solutions for it (further loss of liberty and downsizing) make the future not worth thinking about.
When I was younger and a grandparent died it was tough but the brain would get used to their not being around. It seems different now, like there is nothing to look forward to.

I don't know if life is without metaphysical meaning or not but I think if there is meaning it doesn't want a lot of us around.

Yep, my circumstances continue to deteriorate at a rapid rate. I wish I had killed myself years ago.

Yes, over the years things have gotten worse for me. Someday I will get desperate and I will leave this earth. I have lots of dread for the future honestly. This world is a cruel place and at least death is inevitable, no matter what it will come eventually.

Yes, that's how I feel. I wrote a post similar to this.

Too many things have piled up one after the other and I've broken beyond repair.
