First year Gen X-er here. We know why you’re depressed. We went through similar things, believe it not. I often wish I could share how scary living through the 80s was – often fearing a nuclear apocalypse, environmental decline, wars, riots and unrest all over the world, politicians who didn’t give a damn or had no idea how to make things better. Nobody listens to you when you’re in your 20s. It seems most now think the 80s were just like Family Ties. Not so.
But this too shall pass. You can help make it better by getting out there and working with the good guys. Don’t give up.
Yeah there’s definitely some rose tint looking back to the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. Crime was ridiculous compared to the levels these days, just for a start. But it was just ‘normal’. We’ve made a lot of progress there. Which is about to be undone as people get increasingly desperate.
There were several energy crisiss that kneecapped a lot of the 70s and 80. Nixon, the Vietnamese war, the fall of the USSR. All those things were monumental moments in history and we survived. The world isn’t over yet, but Trump is really trying to make everyone jump to the end game
The important thing is to follow in the footsteps of our elders and obliviously cast shade on the next generation(s) (should they be so lucky to exist).

I missed seeing Russia collapse, but I live in hope it will happen again in my lifetime.
