Hi Ozy. I think most of us can empathise with you even though all our circumstances are different. It just goes to show what an insular, alienating world Capitalism is.but not for the wealthy however. Mental ill health! you can put that down as an occupational hazard of being a member of the working class and I don't believe for one second, that it only affects 1 in 4 of us.I have found, moreover, that being a Socialist sets us apart from the vast majority of our fellow workers and often leads to ill feeling, even amonst our family and friends, because of their inability to get over their history of socialisation into Capitalism and thus, an inability to see "anything but" Capitalism.Do we feel sorry for them in their ignorance, or anger, that their acceptance keeps us in our position as wage slaves and allows a tiny fraction of humans to live opulent lives, at the expense of the majority? I don't know the answer but what I do know is I'd rather live with my eyes wide open, than wide shut!!!
