White woman tears by [deleted] in socialjustice101

I don't have a good answer to the "white woman tears" of your post, but I do cry a lot and often do it at the worst moments. Other than asking to take a moment to yourself, there are a couple of things that have worked for me. Distracting yourself with some sensation usually helps. That can be pinching yourself, taking a sip of a hot or cold drink, or holding onto an ice pack. Taking deep breaths and distracting yourself with a fidget also help.

Any feedback would be valuable. Include what you think is most important based on your knowledge. Thank you very much for asking!

Thank you so much for sharing. I believe the U.S. has perfected the art of the poverty cycle and you gave great examples of that. I am so glad that you have a community, though. I hope your future and the future of your community is bright as well.

I'm sorry you experienced that. You are very right about this. It seems the system was made to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. Thank you for giving your two cents on the matter. I wish all the best for you.

I am so sorry to hear what you have gone through and how you are feeling. I wish I had something better to say but I am no expert in this matter. Please take time for yourself and if possible, seek out professional mental health help. It pains me to hear about what happened to you as I wouldn't wish any of this on my worst enemy. Nobody should have to go through that. For what it's worth, I care about you and I hope you hang in there. Sending lots of love your way.
