This is the suggestion that CTTC refers to: “Try living in Beirut, Lebanon for a few months. You will feel much better when you move back to the US! That’s according to our son who is here for a month-long visit. He said we have no idea how good we have it.” (Post #60)
This may have been meant to address the general theme of feeling anxious about what is going on in this country, but the placement of the post followed discussion of a specific person’s depression, so it would appear to be a somewhat disturbing suggestion to buck up and be grateful to live in the US, as a treatment for mental health.
If the post was indeed a response to the “dread” felt by many of us, versus the daily dread of living in Beirut, it is more understandable. Some people actually like what is going on here.
