(967 posts)Just today I described it as "a feeling of impending doom". I think that it's a combination of a LOT of things..... Covid and the ensuing lack of contact with friends and family, the orange guy is still around, politics in general, where the country is and is going, dread of what might be around the corner with the crazies, Climate change, work, general slowdowns in deliveries and in consumables, etc., etc.
There is much to be concerned about. And even though I'm usually the one to keep the even keel, I'm finding it difficult to stay positive. And it shows, I'm being short tempered, don't sleep well, dealing with low-level depression, and like you said, this feeling of dread.
I'm finding that I need my close friends to vent to occasionally, and they need me. We're all in this boat together. Stay strong.
