I've witnessed this in my own journey.
Feeling like, oh, I just need to work a little bit harder or push a little bit more and then I'll be able to experience the success that I want because that'll make me happy.
And this pressure, this hamster wheel that capitalism puts us on without offering broader solutions that support people as they go through difficult times or setbacks or challenges really ends up doing a number on our mental health as those statistics so beautifully illustrate and devastatingly show.

rather than weakness, again, which is what we learn in old happy capitalist individualistic culture.
When you think about your self-awareness, it's all about the problems that you have and the things that you're lacking.
But if instead you think about it from a lens of, what am I good at?
