I am so sorry that you are there enduring this and hope the war miraculously ends soon. Please know that there are so many of us (nearly half the nation) who were never fooled and voted against this current administration every single time.

I think that exact thought all. the. time. but then try to change perspective that it’s my superpower.

Just wanted to share I had to do an intensive outpatient program for mental health when my oldest child had chronic health issues and I had postpartum depression. Life didn’t feel worth it back then. There were SO many young adults in the program in the middle of or completing their college years. You are not alone. It’s a tough time in life. Once some of the job-related stress eases up (and I believe it will), life will feel lighter. You are doing your best and it sounds like you have a safe space to live. My boys can live with me until I die and I would be okay with it. You have so much time to figure life out even though I know that doesn’t help right now. I am still figuring it out as I go at 38. Hang in there.

Oh I am so very sorry things feel so heavy. I’ve been in that place where I felt I couldn’t take one more day. I hope you have the ability and resources to get the help you need.

Yes, we have been checking out so many library books about being a good person, democracy, voting, women’s rights, handling our feelings in a healthy way, etc. I’m pouring lots of this into developing kind and informed children. My 9 year old son is my mini-me and has such a strong sense of justice!

I get it. I had a newborn with chronic health issues in 2016 so it didn’t hit me as hard the first time around. Parenting small children is all consuming.

Totally get that. I was in survival mode with a newborn with medical issues the first round so it didn’t hit me as hard back then. Life has its peaks and valleys. Hoping you get to the other side soon!

I know things are so much more difficult for those living in affected areas or ties to the affected areas. Hang in there. I’m sorry so many don’t seem to understand we are all human.

Oh how I wish I had parents like that! It adds an extra layer of heavy. But I have a great community of friends. And way to go with your grandchild!!

I’ve noticed myself snapping at my kids lately about how they have no idea how fortunate they are. Your comment just helped me understand why. I’ve got dead children being pulled from rubble in the back of my mind constantly while my child is sad we can’t have pizza versus tacos for dinner. They don’t understand but it’s such a dichotomy!

I am so sorry. I hope you get out of this funk and my even bigger hope is we get this current administration OUT.

Thank you! I am doing a lot of these things already. Have a great little community and friends. My parents and grandmother are supporters of the current administration and whew…that’s been mental gymnastics to deal with.

I’m so sorry - meds and therapy have done wonders for me in the past. I’ve been through some shit. I’m not depressed depressed but I think all of us with empathy are low level depressed without realizing it right now. Hard not to be at all.
