For me it's not anger, it's fear. But I'm disabled so in the back of my head i think I'm just waiting for the government to kill me and everyone i love. We are all disabled and/or retired.
Sadly, I think most of feel that way !
We are being terrorized everyday and left wondering who gets the stiff one, tmw ! As we're sure already, that tmw will bare more awfulness for the American people !
Yes. Same, and I am trying so hard to be positive and not get so wrapped up in my anxiety. Fucking sucks to feel that way and it hasn't even been a full month.
I hear you and 👀 you, so many around the world are feeling this exact way. I will speak for myself, I will never give up on my country #Canada, nor will I ever stop supporting my good friends in #America. It's time to "Decent"! My meme, but, I too, have been borrowing them like a horse thief! 😂
I’ve been battling suicidal tendencies all my life. I thought that, at nearly 70, I’d beaten it. But no.
Suicide seems a reasonable alternative now to living in pain, shame, despair & fear.
I’m sole caregiver to my terminally ill husband & he’s not ready to go. When he does, I think I’ll follow.
virtually all of my psychotherapy patients report this. I'm working with therapists in Sweden and Israel on how people cope with autocratic threat ... this is an under-discussed issue in our mental health literature.
Yes. You have to pace yourself. Read just the headlines once, then swear. Get it out of your system. Get involved with a group of resistors and make calls to officials. Find little things to help you feel you are doing something to help. Learn at the end of day to let it all go. New day, new start.
When you have an evil, nasty, self-serving, wanton, craven, loathsome group of bastards trying to steal all the government’s money for themselves & their billionaire buddies, THIS is what you get: Magat Neofascist Nazis
Yup same here. We are reacting this way because they are acting like, or actually are, sociopaths. We are hard wired to care and they are behaving like human aberrations which, in turn, causes us to feel acute distress. If we stick together we will prevail
Yes! I don’t cuss but here lately I’ve cussing these itches with a B in front of it out!!!! I have nothing but contempt for rump , musk rat and republicans!
I try not to let it consume me. When I feel overwhelmed I turn off social media, cuddle with my pets, watch art tutorials and practice, bake, and create. I give myself reiki, reiki my chakras, and meditate. Thc gummies also help me relax for bedtime. Read. Write poems for myself, listen to music
I try the same except I do it with looking at and reading about birds and owls and play with my dogs and crochet. I just hate that no matter what I can never turn it all the way off.
All we can do is try. Trust me, I struggle. If it’s not world problems that get my attention, it is my addiction to technology. As soon as I’m done doing self care, I’m back on my phone doom scrolling or distracting myself again.
You should try out Steppin. It’s an app that makes you earn your screen time through the steps you take, combining your physical & mental health. So, 100 steps = 1 min on your restricted apps - or whatever you customise your settings to.
It helps break that habit loop that you don’t even notice ☺️
Every single day. I see people just living life like normal, like the ole world isn’t burning down around us, and the apathy just makes it that much worse.
Some of us are home having breakfast thinking, "How the hell can people just go about their lives, going to restaurants, like every penny they have isn't going to matter soon?"
I think we all do. We may project it in different ways but we all care deeply about what is being heaped upon us. It’s normal to feel upset. You have a supportive community here!
I hope Britain doesn't go the way of the US. It's apparent nefarious oligarchs are trying to corrupt your country just as they've stolen mine. I hope British elections are more secure from fraud than America's were.
Well… we have the Maple MAGATs - the CONservative party. It was skewed to the right a number of years ago, similar to what happened with the GOP. I am praying that Mark Carney becomes the next PM, and the Liberal Party wins a majority. If not, we could end up in the same boat as the US.
I'm angry when I engage, so I do so until I feel my heart starting to race. Then I stop, contemplate what I can do, sign a few petitions, donate when I can, find the next march, rinse and repeat...we've got to save ourselves for when the time comes to take it to the next level....coming soon!
Right? Never have I felt this hopeless that nobody can do anything. I mean I know there are many who are trying but just the onslaught of EOs and firings and something new every hour is just so taxing. And being in the minority in House and Senate is the worst.
This exactly describes how I feel. It's like I suddenly developed depression and ADHD. Nothing makes me smile anymore and I can't concentrate on anything for more than 5 minutes at a time - so I am unable to relax with a book for the time being
Plus this cold winter isn't helping either
Every sane and decent human being in America feels like this, I believe.
I’m so far beyond angry, not just at monsters like Trump and Musk, or at cowards like the Vichy Republicans in Congress, but also at every person who voted for Trump, who voted third party, or who didn’t vote. Damn them.
Every morning we get up rush to our phones and look to see what the fuck have the Nazis done ? As our elected representatives have dreams of The Sugar Plum Fairies.

FUCK TRUMP!

I was in a restaurant having breakfast with my wife and everything just seemed normal. And we all know it's not. It's surreal
And debating what I can do as a proud Canadian to help maintain the sovereignty of our nation.
This is so infuriating. And we are really angry about these not so subtle threats. Your idiot leader has really united our nation - so there’s that(?)
It's a mass trauma.
We went from trusting our neighbours when Biden was there…to a now crazed lunatic threatening Canada.
