“I was so upset and disappointed in myself because growing up, I was told that if I get an education, if I go to college, then I’ll be successful,” Santos told Business Insider—and she’s not the first Gen Zer to complain about feeling tricked into pursuing further education.

Just last month, 27-year-old Robbie Scott similarly went viral on TikTok for insisting that Gen Z isn’t any less willing to work than generations before. Instead, he said, they are “getting angry and entitled and whiny” about the prospect of having to work hard for the rest of their adult life, only to “get nothing in return.”

But I have double depression, double burnout

americans have depression and burnout, but in typical american extravagance they have two of them

There's actually a form of sever chronic depression I recently learned about and the guy I was talking to called it double depression. What he described sounded very similar to what I have. Basically think of having 24/7 depression but yuo are extra depressed where normal people might just have a depression spell.

The double burnout bit was more meant as a joke based on the double depression thing. I was listening to a podcast about autistic burnout and sort of realized I've probably been in burnout from my autism for the last couple of years.

double depression is dysthymia plus major depressive disorder ask me how i know

[-] roux@hexbear.net 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

MDD was the one I was thinking of. Just a constant depressive state. Gonna Google dysthymia now.

E: I guess I'll take one of each

E2: I have dysthymia for sure
