24. My stress has definitely gone off the charts

I'm working on it. Streamlining some things, doing some more relaxation things, trying to eat better, etc.

I think my issue is probably very similar for a lot of people. When you actually care about people and you see some monster trying to hurt other people, it tends to keep you upset. Whether health care, DACA or North Korea, I don't want other people needlessly hurt. And I know full well that the asshole in the White House doesn't give a damn about ANYONE but himself. That's pretty much it in a nutshell for me. I want him out and out away where he can never hurt anyone again.
