You get to live a happy life and don’t care about all the horrible things happening all across the world. You wouldn’t feel terrible for children getting killed in a genocide half the globe away, every day. Blissful ignorance.
My response would be no. And I suppose most responses are gonna be no, but I also don’t think anyone who already doesn’t care would take a pill to start caring. That’s an interesting concept to me.
I’m sure that what me caring does to my mental state is far worse than however good is anything it does to anyone else. But by that logic, if everyone stopped caring, how would the world look like?
EDIT: It’s permanent. It doesn’t take away your emotions, it just stops you from caring about things like wars as long as they don’t directly affect you. Just like many people already have it.
Can you get yours to talk to mine? For me it reinforces feelings for almost everyone else which then reinforces the depression. I often feel like I deserve this, not them.
depression is essentially the negative thoughts in your head. personally i try to consider them like foreign thoughts. Though watching humanity destroy the planet, not care about the rise of facism, being unable to make even simplest of long term plans where it counts and most of all, not being able to do anything about it is making me feel like we probably deserve this shit. So I deal with it by trying to simply not care about anything at all beyond the things i can do something about and hope there is somekind of justice after death.
Though not caring and losing feelings might just be part of the damage depression is doing to me/ has done. Everyone is different.
But at least try considering that as long as you try doing the best you can, you dont deserve the shit you have to deal with. And that the best you can do can sometimes be the best you are capable of doing at the moment.
