People should be happier here otherwise move somewhere else. Also working back in UK for example where it can be cold and miserable, slaving a way trying to pay the bills with a dysfunctional family must be depressing

Read this, take a perusal through the Trump and Epstein threads, and then draw your own conclusion.  A year or two ago I would have referred you to review the covid vaccine threads for kooky beliefs but those guys are lightweights in comparison.

 

AI Overview
Evidence suggests that depression can make a person more susceptible to believing in conspiracy theories. Research indicates a positive correlation between depressive symptoms and conspiracy beliefs, potentially because depression can heighten negative emotional states, distort information processing, and increase a desire to make sense of a chaotic or threatening world.

Susan, you are hiding behind vague forum topics like this again and projecting onto others while struggling with your own depression. Since you are feeling down and having negative thoughts about yourself, seeking professional help from a qualified medical or mental health professional is the best step. Mental health support is available in Thailand for both locals and expats, and getting guidance early can make a real difference. You’ve been letting this go on too long, and it would be best for you to take action now to finally help yourself.
