Everyday gets harder to wake up to another day of the trump empire of lies compounded with election anxiety.
Worries over the months ahead as Covid is on the uprise.
I lost my job in March and then my cat this month.
I spent 6 months praying my best friend would make it out of the hospital alive. I’ve spent the last 3 months just staying in.
The Covid wave is quickly progressing again. I’m sick of it too... but not to the point of...gathering or being reckless.

Not sure how I’ll get through the winter but this is depressing as hell!!!

1. I'm angry

I can’t hug my elderly parents. I blame Trump and his cult following for keeping families apart.

[samplegirl]

8. FaceTime with my

Grandkids.... no overnighters no nothing. I’m bitter and this could of been so much better by now.

[oregonjen]

10. Same, we're Skyping, but it's not the same as hugging and being in the same room

with them. They are my treasures and Trump has taken away precious time with them.

2. Depressing, yes.

Even during a normal year the winter months are hard for a lot of people, myself included. It's been a long year and it's hard to wake up and know there are six more months of this, plus short days, little sunshine and cold temperatures. I decided I would maybe put some holiday decorations up early this year, before the election possibly.

9. I feel nothing

can’t even imagine holidays. I usually can push myself but even that’s not working.

3. Maybe after the election you'll see something to cheer you up

President-elect Joe Biden

Meanwhile, hugs to you and hang in there

[samplegirl]

11. I hope so

Because I just have no motivation. Dewine is a complete idiot! He should of been complaining about Trumpers coming here doing rallies with no masks!

[Hugin]

4. I understand exactly.

I go through my ups and downs. Routinely, now, it seems.

My biggest frustration is them attempting to make me feel like a fool because I'm being careful.

[LizBeth]

5. Summer vacations and visits put on hold. Now Holiday visits on hold. I lost job in March too.

I started applying in Sept and have stopped again. I am discouraged because all the applications didn't result in anything and because once again, I am on hold. The up side? I am covered thru Feb if I do not spend a penny on anything but essentials. So I count myself lucky and safe.

I too sat with a friend in Oct as her mother slowly died in the hospital with covid. Now, every death, I think, this will be a first Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years without a loved one that family and friends will experience.

12. I finally had a

good job offer and passed it up as it was in a Dr. office.

[LizBeth]

17. Depends on Dr office. I have applied to those, smaller ones and especially dentist.

They work really hard keeping people safe. A lot better than working front desk at an hotel, lol. 80-100 in a small room checking in for 9 hours.

I am 59. That is my real challenge with an employer.

[Maraya1969]

6. Hang on. Because in January we have a new leader and I'm sure he will act quickly to get

Covid under control. That's less than 3 months from now. I know it may sound daunting but compared to the number of months we have had to endure before this?

Meanwhile there are probably a lot of litters of kitten at your local shelter than need fostering.

Nothing like some kittens to take your mind away.

[samplegirl]

13. I hope so because

I don’t know how much longer I can hold on.
Waiting on a kitten now.
This has been a year of absolute hell!! I will never forgot 2020 if I live through it!

[BComplex]

7. Oh yeah. Every time I cough or get the sniffles or have aches and pains....

My husband works with the public. He's one of the "essential workers". We're both seniors, and I worry every day that we're somehow getting infected. We've both been tested twice because people near him were infected. We tested negative, but it's like every day is a cliff hanger.

I know I'm not alone in being really impatient for Biden/Harris to step up and finally have people in charge that give a shit about humans more than their money.

[samplegirl]

15. My husband is at work

daily for the state. It makes me sick how many men he works with still think Covid is not real!

[Ohiogal]

14. So many of us

Feel like we are barely hanging on to sanity. I feel for all of us, samplegirl. It’s as though they keep moving the finish line back further and further away.

The other day I opened up my mail and was notified my ACA bronze plan monthly premiums are going up 30%. I felt like crying. Well I did cry. I don’t know what we’ll do if the SCOTUS strikes down the ACA because we cannot afford $700 a month for health insurance just for me.
That’s how much that plan would cost without a subsidy and there is still an $8000 deductible. They want to take away our health insurance during a pandemic. Words cannot sufficiently describe my anger.

[samplegirl]

18. It's been to long. Frustration, fear, tears lots of

tears and then despair. Not knowing what will happen next!
I’m living it daily! Just don’t have the fight in me that I had 6 months ago!

[UpInArms]

16. Hang in there, samplegirl

That is our goal ...

I have decided that 2020 needs to get over quickly ... it has been the absolute worst

I lost my beautiful best dog friend in July .... and decided that I would get another puppy ... she arrived Monday and she has been the best medicine for my heart

((((((Hugs))))))

[samplegirl]

19. At least I had my faithful cat

during what I thought was the worst years Bush/Cheney
What a joke....the trump years were a continuation but full throttle! Death in your face... and idiots cheering it on!

All this time on my hands and I can’t even spend it with people that I love.
😢

[UpInArms]

20. I know ...

I hate not being able to be with my friends and family ... we all had made many plans for visits ... my nieces and nephew were going to spend part of the summer with me ... I was going to run for a local office ... one of my best friends died and I could not go to the funeral...

The list is endless ... but ...

I have determined that we are going to get through this darkness ... and with all of the awfulness being pushed forward every day in every way, a lot of folks have awakened and are now stepping forward to help us rid the world of this pestilence...

Have faith, my friend, we will prevail

[Solly Mack]

21. You're stronger than it feels like right now.

The current state of affairs is enough to make anyone feel like they're drowning in the sheer insanity of it all. I wonder about myself some days. My own sanity. At me age, and all the bullshit that keeps repeating. Sometimes I wonder why I fight at all.

But people like you help me because you give me hope and boost me up when I need it.

I only hope I can do the same for you.

[samplegirl]

22. Thank you Solly

The last few days have been rough. I’ll see Bob today long enough to pick up some food and we talk on the phone or text.
It’s just sad. Watching neighbors prop up the idiot in the whitehouse is pathetic!
Hope the signs, flags disappear right after election or I’m gonna go yank them myself!
