Amen, brother.
I’ll also point out, in my sandwich-board-wearing way, that the entire mental illness industry is based on a similar dynamic. Rational responses to societal failures are blamed on the individual and treated individually at great cost and, not surprisingly, poor effectiveness.

tell me you’ve never had a good therapist without telling me you’ve never had a good therapist

Not for lack of trying.
It’s easier to become your own good therapist than to find one.

I realized, as a hobby I’ve been making a music player - it’s a lot of work, but the consistent goal of that work is: I want my music player to need me less, as little as possible. I want my music to play like a radio station, without the ads, without subscriptions, without constant neediness. Turn it on, music that I probably want to hear starts playing, end of interactions until I turn it off.
Shameless plug for a very not ready for primetime code repo - ask your LLM agent to set it up and try it out for you: github.com/MangoCats/Lempi

That might be true, but the person you’re replying to is also correct (coming from someone with a great therapist).
My depression is the logical and rational reaction to my perpetually diminishing material circumstances.
I’ve got pills I take to not feel hopeless (and they work, surprisingly), but objectively speaking, it’s not looking good, and I’ve never seen anything get better in my lifetime, and I’m almost 40
surely you can see the irony in placing blame back onto the individual with this reply lol
