I often feel this way too. In some ways, my country isn't as ****ed as others, but it's heading in that direction.
I know that most of my practical problems and mental health problems can be atttributed to the disparity between rich and poor, corrupt government and corporations, rampant consumerism and greed, and the continuing destruction of our environment. I keep thinking about how many friends and family would be freed if they didn't have to choose between work and starvation/homelessness. They would be able to socialize (thus reducing loneliness), engage in hobbies and have an overall improved quality of life. But instead, my country's govt punishes the poor and rewards the wealthy.
