Don't feel alone. Any sensate person who follows the news these days is feeling stressed. Try to carve out some time for your own mental and physical health. I speak to myself as much as to others.
Yep! My latest symptom (of one of those three game choices) is having a sudden stinging sensation somewhere on my face or head - I’ve added “is it a TIA?” to the mix.
I hate this game. "Is my chest crushing and heart palpitating from asthma? Am I overstimulated? Are they coming to round me up for prison for all my Palestine activism? Or is it from the news cycle and my acute pattern recognition skills?
Whatever it is, being a human sucks during empire collapse.
I whole-heartedly apologize to everyone who's suffered panic attacks. They weren't "real"(or, rather, i DID NOT know how godawful they were) until I had them. Mine started in 2015. I regularly play the same game. ☹️
Yes, most of the time. I have a few more *tricks* that help, too. Naming 5 things you can smell, tasting things that are extremely sour, easy yoga poses, anything to divert the mind.
I can absolutely relate. I've lost 5 lbs in the last few weeks. I'm not one who easily loses weight, and it's not a bad thing I could lose a few pounds. But it's legitimately from my anxiety and stress about the world. Which is pretty crazy.
6 AM 45 minutes walk hydrate while listening to a different language, shower, breakfast and hydrate. 12 PM short walk during your lunch break and hydrate, then finish it off with a glass or 2 of chianti red wine in the evening.
While he is bombarding us with head scratching lunacy, his minions are feverishly working behind the scenes to destroy the legislative branch. It’s right outta Putin’s playbook.
Make’em tired then make’em subservient!
I think my system has been hammered with cortisol for months now, judging by the knot in my guts and the insomnia.
Can't be good for the brain, either.
I’m still searching for comfort in a hot caffeinated bevvie and finding cold sweats hot flashes and mini panic attacks-course it doesn’t help my spouse is a MAGAt thru and thru🤬👿🏴☠️
I’d go with the last one. We in N Tx get a small shake from the fault line through the Wichita mtns. Even the weather man said it was from fracking. We’re 65 ish miles from the fault line
When I am feeling particularly stressed or sad, I remind myself that most of us have been living with trauma for years, day in and day out, due to politics, poor health, etc.
Seriously!? OK the next time we hang out you’re gonna have to show me its appeal. This is the game we used to hide from Z when he was little so we couldn’t play it. 😏

My reactions are anxiety attacks.
The men in my family, no matter when they die go suddenly and not always in bad health.
