People care about you.

Take a time out from the news. Do something you love. Reach out to a friend. Take care of yourself.

Works for me every time.

it just doesn't fucking stop

Take care of yourself, any way you can. Best wishes!

Be there and stay strong with and for those you love. Find solace in supporting them as well as taking care of yourself. Take a mental health brake from the news if you need to. Treat yourself as best you can.

Now just think about one of the great moments of your life and smile

A good friend from a very poor country who came here as a young man, reminded me that in our life how even in our struggles, there is light somewhere, it is your job to find it or make it for yourself.

I'm here in Houston with water at my door.

Life is good.

Peace

I understand. I've been talking people off ledges for so long I've just about run out of will.

Do something normal to distract yourself. Make something. Fix something. Clean something. Do something nice for somebody.

We need you! I bet everyone here feels the same way as you some days. I am standing by as my normally emotionally level husband is going through what
I believe is clinical desperation.

You are needed and important. And loved.

right now there is so much going wrong and I cry and I scream and I worry for others

but it is wonderful to see people help each other in crisis... and about an hour ago, I picked up an SPLC booklet that included a quote...

It's freedom, and to hell with other peoples' opinions. It happens sometimes, to some people. Nothing to be ashamed of.

My fuck dispenser is permanently, irreparably broken.

I felt exactly like you just a few days ago.,

I watched Obama's 2004 DNC speech and videos of his victory in 2008 and 2012 on Friday night, because I was longing for better days. I started to cry and my family got me through it.

HRC lost by the smallest of margins, and it took an international illicit/illegal conspiracy to defeat her. THAT IS NOT THE USA!

Look at what's happened since Charlottesville. I am hugely gratified about America. There is an enormous number of folks like us, and a few asses (including the "President&quot who are off the radar. But please keep in mind that the bulk of both the USA and the rest of the world is appalled.

As Jesus, Gandhi, and all persons of goodwill say, "this too shall pass"...

Peace and Love!

I feel like that sometimes and after a good night's sleep things always look better.
Sending cyber hugs to you.

The majority of the WORLD is with you. It's only a small minority of idiots and spineless congress people who are doing this. If you give up, they win.

especially when once we could sort of look to our government as a port of last resort - and now the crazies are running it.

but we need you badly to help drag us out of the mire.

I know everything seems awful right now, but I am convinced that goodness will prevail. These bastards can not get away with this much longer. Karma is coming for them.

I wish I could give some encouragement but I can't quite do it right now. Sometimes it does just plain suck.

And breathe. The sensationalizing of everything makes things worse.

My wife heard my depression about current events, and suggested that I just stop reading or viewing the news. I immediately replied, "No, I've got to know what's happening. I can't allow myself to become ignorant, or just turn away."

I take a break sometimes.

I'm personally trying to do as much positive activity as possible. A friend asked what I meant, and I said "I just want to be as good a person as possible." As a counter to the evil being shoved in our faces.

There are times when the tank is empty, nothing left, I've had all I can stands and I can't stands no more.

And we walk away. Not that we don't give a fuck so much as just not having any left to give.

That's normal. But don't despair for demten. Life goes on, other hands will take up the reigns.

And then the thing that doesn't feel possible happens: you wake up one day and discover that you have a fuck to give again. It's a rare case of autogenisis. And fucks always multiply.

i'm so dam proud of my wife and myself no matter what dump does I KNOW WE ARE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS!! and we will not let the asshole complete his plan (i'd rather go down fighting than give up) We all need to take a breath and fight on OUR TIME WILL COME!!!

Surgery to place an LVAD before which I had to be fibrillated back to life with paddles.
I'm currently recovering from getting a new heart.
I don't have a job, I don't own a car, I don't have a gf/wife, I'm deeply in debt with medical bills and student loans, and I live with my parents.
My skills are outdated, I'm tired all the time, my medications make me shaky and moody and promote weight gain, and a flu could potentially kill me.

All of that and I'd rather live during a difficult journey than die during an easy one.

Every time I turn on a radio or see an article written online with a comments section at the end, I see the endless stream of bile and hatred spewed out by RWers, and just like you, I sometimes get so frustrated by it that I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle that will never end, and I sometimes feel like giving up. That's by design. That's why the higher-ups in the Republican Party pay people to flood the phone lines and the comments sections with hatred. Because they know it's discouraging. They WANT you to feel discouraged and they WANT you to give up. Don't give them what they want.

when I turned the TV off. Get out there, take a nice walk, count your blessings, and know that we WILL survive this Presidency.
