Can I put the lid back on my personal Pandora's Box?

Is it possible?

I feel like the will to live has been sucked out of me this week / weekend. I don't feel like going on, at least when it comes to politics and "knowing" things. I know too damn much. I want to erase much of it from my brain and live like nothing is wrong.

Maybe it's selfish. I don't know. I can't deal with my own shit and the shit of the nation and the world for even one more second.

I am really hurting. At this point, I don't even know if I can recover from the Katrina marathon I subjected myself to. This weekend was hell...neck pain and sleep and Katrina are all I did. And deep down I really think shrub is going to get away with it. Again.

Is it possible to put the lid back on Pandora's Box?

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

I find it takes the "edge off" :grouphug:

I'm a physical person so I worked on priming my house for painting (with a brush not a sprayer)And that helps me. I'm a "tough" woman in all ways, mentally physically and emotionally, yet I've cried too many times over the last few days. I relate to what you are saying. I really don't cry. It's not my thing. But here I am, at the drop of a hat almost, ready to weep at the next horrible picture, the next obnoxious press release. Fortunately I have very these ornery Swedish genes that make me go on. He may get away with it. He may not. But he won't get away with it without a fight from me. Blessings to you, I wish I could make you feel better. If I could send you strength across this electronic highway I would. If you need to rest, please rest. Remember our burden IS shared. If you need to lay it down for a time, we'll pick it up if need be. We're all in this together.
