Fetterman says he assumed speaking publicly about his mental health ‘would be the end of my career’
thehill.com
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said in an interview that aired Sunday that he believed opening up to the public about his mental health struggles earlier this year would negatively impact his career.
In an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker on “Meet the Press,” Fetterman opened up about his battle with clinical depression earlier this year and urged those facing mental health issues to seek help. He said that for the first couple of weeks while being treated for depression at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, he felt scared about sharing his experiences publicly.

This is Lemmy though. The hive-mind is far worse here than it ever was on Reddit.
Hive mind is when people disagree with me
Me: Watching the negative votes steadily tick down for someone daring to criticize the existence of a Lemming hivemind ^^^
People get downvotes for "criticizing the hivemind" because its a dumbass thing to claim and cry about. It was just as dumb a thing to blame on reddit, and it makes you sound like some loser who was kicked off 4chan.
Exactly. Like pretty much all of Lemmy.
Goodbye
Every site with an upvote/downvote system will be a hivemind to an extent. You only think it's more of a hivemind here because reddit aligns more with your beliefs.
Nah, Lemmy seems to have both a much more specific and narrow range of acceptable beliefs as well as much less tolerance for the sharing of any view even a little outside that range.
At least in my experience. Wouldn't want to presume to speak for anyone else.
I was never a reddit user but I have browsed some subreddits from time to time. On economic matters, people seem to overwhelmingly be drinking the neoliberal kool-aid, at least on the economic-focused subreddits. On politics, it seems mainly democrat central and anyone either to the left or right of that gets attacked. Reddit has the advantage of having way more users, but the biases are still there.
