even little stressors issues but me on "hold" so to speak... I relate it to always having to be on my guard socially/publicly as we can't seem to trust the normal things... Even our phones bring in stressors with scammers, as do our computers... Driving on the highway, look out for road rage and very stupid/careless drivers....fast food has NO customer service and prices are ridiculous....

I could go on....The tRump MAGA administration created this loss from normal social interaction, honor, truth and kindness is a rare experience now...
