But were there so many of them?

Yes. They just didn't have nearly as many outlets to express it.

Hard to say. Definitely not as many people actually naming their anxiety. It was sort of taboo to talk about mental health plainly.

But a lotttt of folks with dubious coping mechanisms, just repressed and bottled up without even the memes to combat their anomie.
