Fetterman says social media made his depression worse | The Hill
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said being on social media worsened his mental health as he battled with clinical depression last year.
Actually I'm doing therapy and am considering getting back on meds in 2024. I'm starting to learn that it's probably tied directly to my autism and that is helping me work through it.
I also think tonight is gonna be my last hoorah as far as drinking goes because I've realized that I've been using drinking as a coping mechanism for existing in an overstimulating world. So I think it will get better but not cured. Thanks for the kind words comrade!
Maybe holding another black jogger at gun point will cheer him up.
maybe if you didn't support genocidal politicians you'd feel better
Ableist take: Is this just an attempt to co-opt the recent mental health revolution?
I don't want to downplay his struggles any more than I would want someone to downplay my own.
This just feels like either him, his staff, or the outlet he talks to is attempting to garner sympathy and support from people who are recently aware of mental health.
Whatever it is - it's odd. It clashes with his main message that he's been pushing to the media: "John Fetterman doesn't care what you think".
His whole campaign was dunking on people on social media, so it's kind of weird to start talking about how it was bad for his mental health.
Granted, his accounts are run by staffers, but still.
"last year" lol, it'll be back chicken fucker! And it doesn't need social media to do it.
