As I learned so painfully during the Homeless Year, pills were far cheaper than rent.

Oh, JFC yes, this. Employers, landlords, governments, politicians and so, so many more people in power should listen to this. It reminds me a little of the article a neurodiversity advocate wrote in Forbes titled "When mindfulness is gaslighting". So often, stress is a warning sign that you're in a shitty situation. Yet the solution seems to be to treat it as an individual's problem and then shame them for not seeking "help" or participating sufficiently in that "help". Instead, we should address the structural issues.

(Apologies, that is probably a tangent, but ... ARGH!)

I think a lot of it comes under that "sane reaction to an insane world". It's just... the world isn't getting any saner and I don't know how anyone can help with that. (Well, community-building. Small, concrete islands of hope in the insanity, I guess? Which can feel pointless, but it's important to recognise that even slowing the slide into insanity is something, even if it's too big and you're too small to actually stop or reverse it.

(Ugh, more vague not-really-on-topic meanderings. Apologies.)
