I'm so sorry you're feeling the way you do but I know what you're going through, it's like we're in a war getting pummeled with shocking horrific information bullets. I'm getting by but odds are something in the news will remind me how we are destroying ourselves, the planet and it's beautiful creatures. Every day it's something. Feeling sad every day is the new normal for me. The animals...just the thought of what is happening to them. I wish I could do more than call legislators and cry.
