Back in the 80's we had the Cold War, high inflation and an energy crunch. It ended with the 1987 stock market crash, which was the largest crash up to that time. Then we had to endure the Great Recession that came along with Bush's administration. The 90's were better, but the party ended September 11, 2001. I was a consultant at the time and I along with hundreds of thousands of others were soon to be unemployed. That was stressful because my wife was pregnant at the time. We muddled through all that and got to the financial crash of 2008. Again many people lost their jobs, lost their homes and pretty much lost hope. Then things went well for quite a while and now here we are again. Notice a pattern? You can bank on things going tits up every 10-15 years or so. The maddening thing is people overall seem content with this situation. Do you need therapy? It never hurts. Really. Even if you're A-OK it never hurts to have some therapy. Think of your therapist as being your wingman to help you deal with the shit of modern life. Group therapy is even better because you get to hear other people struggling with the same things you are. I know they say misery loves company but it's really more than that - it's the realization you're not alone and you're not the only one feeling like this and struggling with these issues. It's actually very uplifting. Good luck!
