Shit Life Syndrome
June 11th, 2024
I recently came across the term, "shit life syndrome." I find it aptly funny and comical that clinicians have come up with such an absurd and rude term to describe someone's mental and physical health. Somehow it rings true.
Personally, I haven't experienced what they are describing here. I have lived a middle class life with minimal trauma (okay, maybe moderate trauma) and have successfully continued to a path of good employment. I make good enough money to support a healthy lifestyle that feeds me well.
I can afford housing comfortably and feed myself comfortably. As far as financially-speaking, I am in a good state.
Emotionally and mentally, I continue to struggle. Relationally, of course, I still continue to struggle.
