I am disgusted to my fucking core about the state of this country.

44. Glamrock,

short little old white lady here... you speak for me, too. I'll just add all the mean-ness that's around. Even when you try to be nice to someone, it's more likely to met with hostility or, at the least, caution... all because the R's years ago made empathy a bad word. They scream about the sanctity of life where stomping out abortion is concerned. But they killed sanctity of life long ago with their normalizing of murder by gun, IMNSHO.

Take a break, but don't go far. I understand where you're at. I get so demoralized and depressed I don't know how I can go another day. Last week was horrible for me. Every day I didn't think it could get worse than the one before it. The worry, the anxiety, the pure panic at what the R's could do to me and mine, and friends who have taken early retirement. I spend more night sleepless now than I did when I was stressed out at work. Sometimes you just have to take a break and shut it all down for a little while. For me, it's doing that and immersing myself into the antics and love of my animals. I need something else to do with my time to feel productive and make a little money, but I haven't found that yet. Hopefully I will in time...

Your voice is righteous and it's needed... and never doubt, our chorus is stronger with you here!
