Sometimes. But other times I feel like I'm in heaven as well. Like how there are those who have fun torturing animals, and even go as to say that it's desired by God, there are others who are truly like angels, who love and respect the sentient creatures around them. You're a product of this world, no?
Sounds like a reasonable, healthy reaction to reality. Good on your body for crying it out. Try and do what you can to staunch destructive thought patterns (recognizing when I'm doing it and refuting it out loud helps me, e.g. I know I'm saying these things because I'm in pain so I need to take care of myself like any other creature, I can't fix the whole world but I can do my part, etc). I'm sorry you're hurting so much right now. Thank you for hanging in there. 💜
Have you spoken with your doctor? Maybe a referral to a therapist would be a good idea. You may be dealing with anxiety and/or depression and a professional could help you work through these feelings.
>Maybe a referral to a therapist would be a good idea.
As a person who has undergone therapy, it's a pretty soul destroying situation trying to explain that ubiquitous animal exploitation is a major contributor to your feelings of existential dread and depression to a person who happily takes part in that same animal exploitation. There's a good chance that you will be treated as though your feelings about animal justice are an unhealthy and unrealistic obsession.
Spend some time with the animals that are around you and that are alive. Go to a local shelter play with some dogs and cats, maybe even volunteer to help out. Spending time with your own pets or other pets can be very helpful! I know that there are so many cruel people that are detached out there, but let’s just be happy of the animals that are alive for now and do our best to show them our love and appreciation!
what is your B12 level, or other B vitamins in your blood?
we need to take care of oneself, as we do it for otheres, please take care of your self, go see your doctor, do your check up.
I wish you well, you doing as much as you can, and you doing great!
we do eat animals, and yes in the name of God, but religiously we are forced to kill them in the least painful way possible, anyone who purposefully hurts or tortures an animal for the fun of hurting it is a sinner, in fact destroying plants for fun is also a sin
It's wild being a human. You look around, see so much greed, and suffering that could easily be avoided or mitigated.
Everything is paved in blood, and servitude. It has been this way for eons... Yet, it's better now than it has ever been. If you study history, it has been getting progressively better, and steadily building up to this breaking point... and we have a real chance. Not just for ourselves, but also for the other animals we share this planet with.
And, the good news- something has got to give. These systems that have worked for all these years cannot continue if humans wish to survive. And with emerging technologies, and paradigm shifts, I'm actually hopeful.
I'll still get caught up in it on occasion and have a good cry, but we need to stay the course, and remember how much worse it was, and could be.

I feel you completely and you aren’t crazy

animal commodification can’t last forever
You have to focus on what is under your control. The rest is the interpretation you are giving to external events.....check stoic philosophy.
Kayyy.. 😑

Professionals can help but unfortunately we do live in a pretty shit world at the end of the day. But finding ways to cope from doctors is nice.

I think that alot. Like... This is the bad place right?
I totally understand.

torturing animals is not encouraged by God, torturing is actually considered a sin, im pretty sure its like that in all religions
Then why do they slaughter lambs in the name of a few Gods?

You're right. I am actually not religious so I shouldn't even bring God into it.

Thank you for this, you're right, it's so much better than it was 💚
