'Get help' is one of the most common and unpleasant of Twitter burns. Not only is it intended as an insult (the person telling you to get help really doesn't give a shit whether or not you need or get help), but it assumes you're not already getting help. Or, hey...perhaps the sociopath offering the 'get help' non-advice is really the one who needs 'help'?
You’ve heard this before no doubt, but reading your pieces is a bit like the scene of an accident: can’t look away but hate to stare, knowing none of the view is good.

Have you read The Molecule of More?
There’s quite a chapter about the American outlook and how we got here. How we’re more prone to psychological/personality disorders because of this one particular aberrant gene mutation. Forgot which chapter, but what a perspective…go look.
Thanks for writing, Luke. It's a bummer read but contemporary American life is pretty shitty so can't blame you for that.
