The messaging problem is Kamala Harris announced a policy to expand Medicare to cover in-home healthcare on the View but it was more important to discuss whether she actually worked for McDonalds and if she was actually Black or not instead:

The journey from mental health “crisis” to being “okay” is harder than I thought. Discoveries of my “self” are so random and they have emotion(s) tied to them. It’s tough being fragile yet staying open for joy, sorrow, peace, pain, anger, fear, optimism, and weakness to just come in freely.

I had an elder that I was very close to. I became the one who wouldn’t say “no” even if I wanted to. Now our relationship is: I travel to do whatever they need, and they are always short tempered with me. And they are pleasant with all of the family who does almost nothing to help them. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Congressman Al Green showed Democrats exactly how President Trump should be addressed last night. Democrats ran a campaign saying “democracy is on the line” and now some Democrats are clutching their pearls because Rep. Green didn’t bow to Trump? Which is it?

The 10 Democrats who voted to censure Al Green are Reps. Ami Bera, D-Calif.; Ed Case, D-Hawaii; Jim Costa, D-Calif.; Laura Gillen, D-N.Y.; Jim Himes, D-Conn.; Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa.; Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio; Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla.; Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash.; and Tom Suozzi, D-N.Y.

I remember in the 90’s people started saying: “You gotta let them hit rock bottom.” It was always about people on drugs. I don’t do drugs but I hit rock bottom. It felt like the end of my life. 3 months later and I am starting to understand that “rock bottom” saved me - the real me.

I don’t have to tell people anymore what they did to forgive them. Today I will tell them what they do to me that’s either unacceptable or will decide the behavior they receive from me in return.

I don’t blame anybody for what I accepted. I thought telling ppl how their actions/words hurt plus patience to allow them to change was healthy. I now know that no-one ever changed their behaviors. Whether romantic, family, friend, work, or church relationship. My patience became acceptance.

I know now that I taught ppl (family, friends, & work) that I would be who/what they wanted/needed as much as possible. And I taught them that I’d excuse hurtful/disrespectful behavior/words when I’m not who they want/need me to be. In January I wanted to end my life, not to die, just to escape.

I used to check all the time to see if my faves were here. They weren’t so I stopped looking. Some of them came over (after I stopped checking). Every time I stumble across one of them all I hear in my head is: “I’ve been looking around and you were here all the time! Da-da-daaaaa!”
