Guys, I have been doing REALLY REALLY WELL in not spiraling, in focusing on myself and husband and friends and creativity. But this Patel thing is having me reeling. How can I continue not to spiral? Help, please.

I've stopped consuming news. What's the point? Every day is a shit-show. I accept that, and move forward in my day in blissful ignorance. What is truly important will get filtered to you. No need to go looking/scrolling for it. Good luck!
I resigned myself to the fact that Patel would be confirmed weeks ago. And that worked for a while, but it’s now no longer working. I will say though, no one is spiraling while they eat a Dino nugget. Treat yourself to a nice lightly breaded stegosaurus.
I’ve just been trying my hardest to focus on what I can control, limiting my time scrolling, focusing on what brings me joy, and honestly focusing on this RuPaul quote “With all the darkness that’s going on in the world, you can look at it, but not stare…”
Go out in to nature. Find an isolated creek or water fall and take a pen and paper (not an electronic device) and sit there and write about something. Get out of the city when you can. Sleep with your windows open a little for the sounds of nature. Hug people. Lots of people. 🧘♂️
I’ve just deleted any app that might send me into a spiral. I have all the triggers muted here (which is a great feature!) so I limit my exposure. I’m just trying to enjoy what I am capable of enjoying and ignore the things I cannot change today. It’s going to be a very long 4 years.

Step 2. Order drink
Step 3. Repeat until Stephen King comes in and asks if anyone there can help him co-write his new novel.
I mean, somewhere in the multiverse, this has to happen, right?
