Feeling down

[Chicagogrl1]

Not sure how i’m going to make it through this election. Feel like the forces of the universe are against what is right & good. Every time i turn around, it’s just more bad news for the dems. Just having a really hard time today 😔

1. Take a break from watching the news for a while. It helps.

[Boogiemack]

3. I feel your pain,

Just hang in there. You are not alone.

2. What bad news is that?

Biden is ahead.

4. Pelosi is a fighter

Let's see what she does. Also taking a break from political news may help. Feel better

6. Turn off the TV "News"

and leave it off. You already know how you are going to vote, so there isn't much point in watching any of it.

7. I feel like that too.

It comes and goes regarding intensity,but the feeling remains.

8. RBG's death has shaken me

I have been fighting against Repugs since Reagan. The thought of a right wing pos taking her seat, just breaks my heart. I greatly worry @ the world my kids will be living in.

9. well keep it to yourself

nobody needs any more of this doom and gloom crap.
nice going getting past 100 posts.

10. You will find that DU is known for providing support to

people who need it. It's not especially productive on this site to tell depressed people to keep it to themselves.

12. i know. not as new as i look.

when there is thread after thread, you have to wonder.
and mostly noobs.

13. Maybe because Michael Pence said tonight they will take the election to court

.....with the new SC justice on board.

[LuckyCharms]

15. I'd rather default to kindness and be wrong than

attack someone and drive them over the edge, especially since I would never even know.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

17. i usually do.

but damn. it's starting to get to some of the regulars here.
it´s just to convenient.
it's the only thing that can fuck this up.

they should take it to mental health support

[LuckyCharms]

19. How is an OP like that, on this particular website

going to "fuck this up"?

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

20. despair is the only thing that can beat us.

and again, it's all over today. that kind of shit is catching. i'm not usually a 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' kind of a person. but when you start bringing others down, i cant support that shit.

[LuckyCharms]

21. Oh.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

22. sometimes the right thing to do is put on a mask, and not spread crap around.

[LuckyCharms]

23. I see.

[Chicagogrl1]

18. Not a noobs

Just struggling. Thx for the support ✌🏻

14. Take a break from the news and take care of yourself

[bdamomma]

16. Take a break

from the news, and never do this

We will rise.

Welcome to DU.

[Tink41]

24. Turn it off!

Had a similar issue last week. Bought myself a bicycle, it's taking care of the anxiety. I make a list of to-do's the night before and busy myself til bedtime. I remember how devastated I was in 2016, depressed for weeks. Life went on.

25. Hope you're feeling better

Nt

[Chicagogrl1]

26. Thank you

Feeling better, except my sadness has been replaced w/ extreme anger over the Breonna Taylor situation.

[XanaDUer2]

27. Me too

Ironically, now I'm feeling a bit depressed, but we have to be strong and fight. Better days are ahead
