"Dealing with it" often just meant becoming an alcoholic, or a woman/child abuser, or other unhealthy outlets for your depression.

Definitely used to be more common, but it wasn’t as if everyone was one of those things. My point was more that people were a bit tougher then, as they had more difficult everyday lives.

You’re not tougher if you’re harming yourself or others to cope.

The idea that everyone prior to contemporary times was harming themselves or others to cope is nonsense.
