Did she drop out of middle school?
No, she grew up and went to school in mainland China, and its rural, so it doesn't get much funding. Internet weren't a thing until around 2010s when we came to the US (internet probably exist for rich families, but we weren't rich and our area didn't have any internet back then), so yea, there wasn't the possibility of learning science stuff online either, never had access to the "old" internet, but her first interaction with the new-era internet was literally around like 2015 with WECHAT, her entire internet life was WeChat, so much weird conspiracy theories and accounts promoting "TCM" or some herbal remedies stuff, or something about "western medicine bad". My head hurts so fucking much ever since I stopped having access to antidepressants and these weird 氣 stuff and "evil spirits" is so fucking infuriating when I have literal depression. My energy is gonna be so fucking drained after this stupid event and I'm gonna have to take a few days to recover to have the energy to look for psychatrists.
Really wanna kms, I actually might just jump off the Brooklyn Bridge or something.
Dude let's not go there. You seem like a bright kid and all . I had feelings like that when I was younger. The hardest thing to do is to keep fighting everyday. And yeah, make finding a good shrink a priority.
