2:30am figuring out I’m living my life in the most let-influences-from-politics-interfere-with-my-real-life sort of way. The cortisol, lack of sleep, and learning new technology is eating me alive.

I just woke up from a terrifying nightmare and am in a full body sweat. Even my hair is wet. The dream felt so real. A man was outside my house in the dark trying to scare and mock me. Then he started to break in. So much more to it and I know it’s that I’m feeling such a loss of control with things
I’m so sorry. I get night terrors as well. Definitely the lack of control and fear. Do all you can to ground yourself in the here and now. Never fear to reach out for support. Sending you a virtual hug.🫂
Yesterday I kept watching videos of the protest marches. I was filled with such a sense of love and hope. Anxiety is a bitch when you first wake up. Distraction is key for me. I miss scrolling.
( dating myself so hard right now) does anyone remember the HeeHaw song ? “Doom despair is agony on me ? Deep dark depression excessive misery?” It’s my a 2025 heavy rotation song right now 🤦🏻♀️😂🫠
I’ve been watching Arcane on Netflix. Imagine Dragons dies their intro song. I can not hear anything else. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. I never ever do animation, but I am blown away and realize my assumptions about animation are 💯 wrong.
I'm trying to look at this as a new experience instead of an end. I'm 65. I've got another 10 years if I'm lucky and hate to think I'll end my life with fewer rights than when I started. So, I'm looking forward to the beginning of a revolution to restore and gain more. That gives me hope right now.
Pumpkin is so pissed off today at me. I didn’t spend very much time with her yesterday. She started pur day by chittering at me (squirrel way of saying F U very loudly.)
I soooo relate to this. I’m trying to figure out how life would be if I could just be one of those people who don’t know anything about politics OR just plain leave the country for a peaceful re-do. I’m getting too old for this shit. Not how I wanted to spend my pre-retirement. 😓
Yep! I didn’t start paying attention until Clinton and wish I could’ve stopped before Trump, but it’s just gotten worse. It was a lot easier when there was “normalcy” even when one disagreed with it vehemently. Go to sleep!
I put my email on here, then thought better of that really quickly. The scammers/bots would eat me alive. I’ll post my new website here. Now that TikTok is gone, it should be soon.
We are not going to let this defeat us. We will form a tighter circle of support. We are smart AF and ever resilient as long as we crowd source each other. Not toxic positivity but diabolically positive
I don’t know about anyone else but that will feel dirty to me. I feel it’s always been about DJT saving it to look like a hero. There’s a very familiar story out of Germany where something to this nature occurred. 😔
Transitions are weird. They can be good, bad, exciting or frustrating depending on how they go. We’re all going to get through this and come out on top. Says the lady who really needs to spend some time learning to be a little more social media savvy.
Which is exactly why I’m trying to live my life with my head in the sand… there is absolutely nothing I can do about any of it, so why do I need to be bombarded with all the 💩 that’s about to happen? (I do have to say it’s helping my mental state a ton)
