I'm 65 now, and IMHO it's worse than it's been for a while, so maybe it's about time for the pendulum to swing again? But we found in the 1960's that idealism has its problems, too, and sexual and drug excesses aren't keys to a better world, either.

There are a FEW people in the mental health field who mean well AND can occasionally help. I've paid (at least in part) for my trial and error experiences but I have a friend who found help through disability and Medicare providers.

Community, yeah. Seems to me that eventually lots of people will come to crave that. Its absence is so painful, despite the material and status benefits of "adapting".

Wishing you the best. . .
