Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Porque no los dos?
It's possible that both can exist.
I have had depression and anxiety for my entire life. I was treated for both. Then I found out I had ADHD and am on the autism spectrum. Guess what having those and being untreated can cause? Depression and anxiety(amongst others). This doesn't mean that everyone who has anxiety and depression have ADHD and autism. The brain and the mind are highly complex things and very, very often after multiple paths to the same thing.
Yeah, exactly as you pointed out... both can and probably will coexist.
In my case, I also have been coping with depression and anxiety, but in my case it's derived from my borderline and schizotypal personality disorders (mods: I'm aware of the Rule 3 and this is just my life story). Ain't no long-lasting friendship, no meaningful relationships, just a hunger for constantly seek knowledge, especially dark knowledge (for instance, I have recently been diving myself into the realm of occult practices, embracing worshiping of The Dark Mother Goddess Lilith). Conspiracies were part of this seeking for knowledge some time ago.
The overall human evilness is so clearly visible, and I'm well aware of it since my early age. As Hobbes said, the evil is intrinsic to the mankind, and some attribute to him the quote: "Homo homini lupus est" a.k.a. "the man is it's own wolf (predator)". World's like the worsened version of Dante's Inferno (because, differently from our world, that Inferno don't pretend not being hell), and I found out that we're powerless to our own shadows, the only solution is to hug and embrace the so-feared demons... literally.
Conspiracy theories are just ways that try to detail and explain the most intricate evilness behind the curtains, but one doesn't even need to rely to conspiracy theories to see how world is not a beautiful bright fairy tale.
