@Syberia thank you 🌼 ! it's much better now, did some behavioral therapy - which had ridiculously simple approaches for me like "just do it" and "stop thinking for a while and be in the moment".. guess sometimes the messenger counts ;)

also chamomile tea helped, i can only recommend that. if nothing else, it's good for the stomach :P

@Syberia
i can't cross everything on the "outside" list, but i for sure can say that i ended up as nervous wreck. did work fine for me for decades, then burn out from _all_ the things on the "inside" list hit.

@gabriel
idk, i feel that this is overanalyzing things. look at which talking points of the left and right are reality now.

from my pov the west had a quite radical social left shift for about a decade now, implementing more and more crazy ideas. in the right places you can be fired now for not agreeing that people should be fired based on them not agreeing.

the right has implemented almost nothing except slowing down things a bit.

i believe people are starting to feel the consequences of this massive left shift. they disagree, as it's starting to threaten their concept of how to live their own life. financially and, due to the hegemonial approach by the left to most topics, socially. e.g. in germany you can't say that unregulated immigration might be a bad idea for a society, you are instant nazi then. if you weren't behind the governments crazy covid response, you were anti science and probably nazi. if you think that the government of the ukraine is evil for conscripting every male from 18-60 (and other things), you are a total putin shill.

if the thing currently called the left is good at one thing, it's declaring dissenting thought a crime. it's no surprise that people who like to think take issue with this. even people who aren't avid thinkers usually don't like to be put in a "social outcast" box for mere disagreement. i venture that at some point this box will be so full that it will burst.
