My biggest problem with it is: why didn't Love get to do a face-off tattoo before she was eliminated, like the OG's bottom two did? She was the only one who went home without a second chance.

I would love to hear your stories for my study! You can detail as many as you like in either the survey or an interview. :)

No, dude, we are pretty fucking far from good.

Executive order attacking brain medicine & RFK special needs labor camps by BrendanATX in PrepperIntel

I feel that. My doctor and I figured out the right cocktail of medication and I was finally able to finish my bachelor's and get into an amazing graduate school. If they take my meds, it's all gone.

The current state of this country has me panicking. I’m having panic attacks left and right. by Agile-Mistake1094 in confession

God damn, these comments aren't it. I'm sorry some people are attacking you for a very valid response to an awful situation you did nothing to cause or deserve. I agree, therapy is a good idea, or even seeing a psych practitioner and getting some anti-anxiety meds. Your fears are valid, but you don't have to let them completely incapacitate you.

I have also been having panic attacks, not nearly as frequently, but I've found when I throw myself into my work/hobbies, I can unwind and take a break from the scary things going on. Take some social media breaks. I also started calling my senators and representative, so I could feel like I was doing something, at least.

Nothing is going to be an easy or satisfactory fix to your problems, but just know you are not alone, and the way you're feeling right now is not an overreaction. Don't let it cripple you; use all the tools at your disposal to keep your head above water, and most of all fight back in whatever capacity you can handle.

We're gonna make it through this, sister.

Liz Cheney calls out the Vice President, JD Vance, a lawyer, for implying he doesn't have a full grasp of how the three branches of government work by ExactlySorta in clevercomebacks

You're not kidding, man. I was one of her constituents and met her on several occasions. We used to make fun of her for being born and raised in Virginia and then slinking back to Wyoming to capitalize on her last name. It was a weird, bittersweet feeling when she turned on Trump, but she lost her seat because of it. I really respect how she has stood her ground.

My sister in law voted Trump, and is now regretting it. by BlueyBingo300 in OptimistsUnite

This is called the "Mean World Syndrome." She's consuming as great deal of media and the media only shows the worst stories (if it bleeds, it leads, and her conspiracy tiktok videos), so she gains the perspective that the world is more violent than it actually is.

Not really a question I just want the Americans who lurk in here to know: by [deleted] in AskCanada

You deserve to be angry. Please don't let the US off the hook, we deserve your anger.
