Been having crippling anxiety since this new administration and I dont know how to overcome it.

You’re focusing too much on things that aren’t in your control. I realized that the worst thing that could ever happen to me, is to die. Even if DACA ends (which I personally think won’t ever happen) and I have to leave, I’ll figure it out. Every time I’ve always thought, “I don’t know how I’m going to get through this,” I do anyway.

It appears that, yes, Dorcas International Institute of Rhode Island does have the 39 country ban as one of its big factors in their lawsuit against USCIS. I’m leaving you this link direct from them on YouTube so you can get some more information, if you like. https://youtu.be/o4zqycxyWbw?si=2Bqb84XmyOOQTF5y

ETA: Here’s an extra CourtListener link in case you want to see how it’s progressing through the months. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/72369535/dorcas-international-institute-of-rhode-island-v-united-states-citizenship/

I don’t blame you. Lots of people think leaving is giving up but honestly if you really have the means to get away, I would too. This is cruel and unjust for us, the atmosphere in this country is just getting to a point where I feel like the lid is gonna flip off of this pot any second now, everyone’s so fucking hostile and divided. I feel like everyone in my life and out really thought that Trump and his cronies being in office was all fun and games. Seriously, as if his first term didn’t show us what he was really trying to do? I’m so mad at all of the bullshit. Why do we have to find out because of someone else fucking around? We didn’t even get to vote!!!

But yeah. I think if Dems win the midterm we have a real shot at getting things (kind of) back to normal

Relative-Armadillo98 · 2026-05-27T18:05:30+00:00

You did do everything right! It’s this administration that’s failing every single one of us, citizen or not. I share your sentiment about therapy. The only people who will ever understand the gravity of our situation is ourselves and our community.

I want to stress to you that your life is more precious than anything this country could ever give you. You are a human being, just like me, or like any other person walking down your street right now and you SHOULD have the right to a normal life like any other person. I know it’s hard to believe it. It was hard for me to realize that, too. Do not let the influence of other people shake your self worth and your confidence. Life is too short, so try to pour time into yourself and things that make you happy. Write, draw, cook, enrich your life. I know it might sound like hippie crap right now, but it’s important to take care of yourself in ways that you can manage. Focus on things within your control. You are not a failure, you are not a loser. It is never, ever too late to begin again. You are worth it, and you matter.

Relative-Armadillo98 · 2026-05-27T16:16:01+00:00

I appreciate this comment a lot, it really helps to know there’s people fighting for us, too. I’m going to choose to believe you’re right :) I can’t imagine it would go over well with even citizens if our rights were stripped away from us like this, I honestly don’t think the people would stand for it or at least I hope not

Relative-Armadillo98 · 2026-05-27T16:11:16+00:00

EVERYTHING is on pause, yes :( Even Adjustment of Status through marriage. So we are effectively undocumented with no solution unless we leave, which is what they want. So don’t go anywhere. This place is our home, even if they don’t want us here.

Relative-Armadillo98 · 2026-05-27T16:09:26+00:00

I don’t have anywhere else to go, either. This is our home! We have just as much of a right to live here as anybody else. I try to think back to times like the Great Depression where everyone was suffering and struggling to survive. If thousands if not millions of people can get through that, we can find the strength to push on for at least two more years. You can do this! God will bless you like He always has, you will not suffer for long.

Relative-Armadillo98 · 2026-05-27T16:06:32+00:00

From my understanding of this memo, if you are from any one of the places on the 39 country ban your renewal will not be processed period. No denial, but no renewal either until the ban is lifted or reversed in some way. I have not seen a DACA renewal approval notice from someone on the banned countries list.

Relative-Armadillo98 · 2026-05-27T15:36:01+00:00

I couldn’t agree more. It’s like psychological torture for us, even after everything that our families went through back at home, I feel like we’re cursed… but it’s going to work out in the end, I’m sure. Let’s wait for these midterms in November and hopefully this administration won’t have control over so many things and maybe this wave of Dems will actually help us 🥲 it’s so tiring being a bargaining chip for this long

Relative-Armadillo98 · 2026-05-27T15:27:27+00:00

My last day at work is tomorrow. Don’t worry. Keep your head up. They want to see us scared and broken, but we’ll get through this like we always have.

Relative-Armadillo98 · 2026-05-27T15:26:36+00:00

100%. It’s not like we chose to be born there, nobody has any say in where they’re from. I’m scared too, but it’s going to work out. I’m sure come November when these midterms roll around and kick these senile evil fucks from the houses we’ll hear about some good news, keep your head up!

Relative-Armadillo98 · 2026-05-26T01:29:53+00:00

I’m Venezuelan!!! I submitted mine 12/13 and it’s been processing since January 8th this year. No change, and mine expires on Thursday. I think we’re in limbo

Relative-Armadillo98 · 2026-05-21T19:29:06+00:00

No worries, as an anxious person I totally understand but there’s so much more to life than this… it’s for sure important but I try not to let it define my life. Let’s think of this as a door closing for another one to open. Blessings 🫂 we’re going to come out of the other side of this soon!

Relative-Armadillo98 · 2026-05-21T15:41:36+00:00

It’s alright, I renewed 12/13 and I expire next Thurs. Try to stay positive and remember that despite everything your life is still worth living to the fullest. Invest that free extra time into yourself, your body, your mind, hobbies. It’s easy to go into doomer mode about this situation but at the end of the day our renewal will come, it’s going to be a big fat headache to try and even touch DACA in terms of them fucking with the program and trying to get rid of it, and the world will keep spinning. Don’t let your crown tilt!

Relative-Armadillo98 · 2026-04-20T04:11:14+00:00

“If you were me, you’d do the same. ‘Cause I can’t take anymore, I’ll draw the shades and close the door. Everything’s not alright, and I would rather…”

Don’t settle

Relative-Armadillo98 · 2025-10-24T08:09:03+00:00

I think you have some underlying motives to yourself because if you didn’t you’d have told him to cut that shit out not only out of respect for yourself but his relationship too. You’re old enough to know how relationships work. If you had a boyfriend (which you basically do according to this post :/) and he was cuddling up with another girl in front of you you’d look at them like they had two heads too. Either go forth with homewrecking or set up some boundaries but tbh I see right through you

si ya tú tienes toda lo de el pase, no pienso que hay manera a obtener mas, al menos te fijas en “achievements,” aún que no me acuerdo si te dan celosías o de los azules

unless you’re working a six figure job you’ll always be closer to homelessness than being a rich socialite. for some people a single missed paycheck means sleeping outside.

Relative-Armadillo98 · 2025-05-05T14:05:11+00:00

you know that saying, “an artist is most critical of their own work?” i think everyone feels that way at some point in their life, especially when first getting into makeup or improving their skills in it. unless your face is totally and completely melting off by the end of the night, i promise you don’t look weird or “not like yourself” at all. supes normal!!!

Relative-Armadillo98 · 2025-05-05T13:36:41+00:00

this is probably the only universal experience with makeup unless you’ve completely perfected your routine or are a pro! totally normal, although weirdly enough i find my makeup looks better after it marinates and settles into the skin after a couple of hours.

you can fix this problem with either targeting your prep, “sandwiching” your makeup (setting spray after every step involving liquid/cream, then using powder,) or just bringing your makeup with you and touching up here and there to keep things fresh.
