i am middle aged man, i experienced life since before even computer and smartphone is a thing like today.

back then, i feel that life is much easier, what i mean easier is more simple life, less competition, less stress, fresh environment, and more happiness despite lack of technology.

but right now, everything is just too complicated despite of power of tech, internet, smartphone, and AI helps, i feel that life is much harder right now, what i mean is like competition is everywhere, stressful everyday, crowded city, and i easily depressed these days.

is it just me or everyone else can relate to what happens right now?

I'm sure many people can relate. I'm not sure how helpful this is. You sound like you're not from an area currently in a state of war or suffering from famine. So you're probably somewhere where you could try to talk a therapist.

Therapy can’t help with this. Op doesn’t have a problem they personally need to work through.

Therapy can't fix this, bit it can help OP with it. A good therapist will help you find more effective strategies to help you cope with a situation you can't personally change.

i am actually in crowded city, but unfortunately with poor therapist quality and you need to have long queue (2 hours+) and in the end just to get poor consultation results.

what i mean poor quality such as blatantly says : "just dont think about it", "its not a problem", "you are just overthinking" , etc. they just throw template answer so they can be done with you as fast as they can.
