Yep, they’re really sticking it to us in an ad-nauseum attempt to teach the public to never, ever again vote in a president who hasn’t been personally approved by Nancy Pelosi.
I take wellbutrin :) it works on dopamine, which makes it different than many others.
Helped a lot for 10 years now.
SSRIs did nothing.
As for the lockdown, I am twitching like crazy again, my agoraphobia is a’roaring back to life and my many odd tics and OCDs are a rockin’ :)
I won’t insult those who lost jobs or loved ones by lumping myself in with them. I’m not.
But it is, in my opinion, one of the cruelest things ever done in my lifetime.
And I am SURE it caused more harm than good. And more deaths in the long run
Old people and the sick should have been protected.
What a shame
My personal speculation is that secular society, combined with the self-absorption our culture often encourages, has led people to feel somewhat empty. This emptiness becomes more apparent when people have less external stimulation.
I felt so much better when I stopped reading that after a few paragraphs.
My post 23 was rather depressing. :)
But regardless, I would vote for Trump no matter my personal circumstances.
I’m 52. I care more about my nephews’ and nieces’ economic and mental well being FIRST by a large margin.
They could promise me a million bucks tomorrow and I would tell them to go #### themselves
We’re all gonna die one day. Don’t wanna be on the death bed remembering when I acted like a b.tch.
Trump will win again
You’re not exactly encouraging to those who have no choice.....And why is it all those who think people who are choosing to protect themselves shouldn’t also have that same choice as you do do your own thing without the heavy criticisim? Do you get some sort of sadistic pleasure doing so?
What's going on SHOULD depress me but I guess maybe God's allowing to me to walk through that valley of the shadow of death prepared me for this.
Maybe disheartening would be a better word than sad for what I'm seeing.
Thank you for describing my life so accurately. Definitely no TDS here whatsoever, but a feeling of being slightly blah and off. As you said, I just want to do social things with people who don’t share my last name.
I suspect it is a matter of people stopping long enough to notice that they have been living on a straight diet of partisan bile.
Partisan bile is depressing in addition to being destructive.
I’m worried about money, especially since I’m still not properly well from whatever I caught. A lot of other people are worried about money, but that’s fairly normal. Being subjected day after week after month after year to stupid elites who are still in denial about being so horrendously on the wrong side of human dignity/rights is not normal. There is bound to be some emotional fallout. Some people will pine for the ego stroking propaganda, some people will be enraged by just how much damage these a-holes have done to us all, some people are going to have a rethink while trying to strengthen ties to family and friends. All of these things are unsettling.
Even simple things like “How was work today”......or “Where are we going this weekend” take on whole new meanings...and answers. So normal every day communication is even affected.
One of the lefts new words...”New Normal” is especially offensive. I will not live my life in ‘their’ new normal...and that's just how it will be.
Not too bad. Planning on doing EVERYTHING possible to make sure that those who are responsible pay for this, one way or another. It has to happen.
This is a walk in the park compare to what a Dem sweep in November would do to my psyche.
Lovely post. Lots of wisdom there; easier for some to follow the advice than others.
Even for impatient folk like me the way advice is given makes a world of difference so I’m going to remember this story.
“working at The Atlantic can’t help....”
Don’t worry, they’ll ALL be fired soon enough.
Funnier than that, it will be AFTER the $600 per week handout expires in July!
hahahahhahahahahahahahah!!!!!
Well since you've been living a sedentary solo life working from home along with your wife I don't imagine you'd need to restructure your life...... However parents with children, and people accustomed to a lively and active workplace they enjoy, plus after hours involvement with friends and family, or community activities and involvement certainly have felt the bite taken out of their life......and understandable they would miss and feel this loss after this long being cooped up.
We are not designed for a solitary cooped up life....quite the opposite.
I’ve toured Anne’s annex, the very rooms they hid in for so long.
Everyone in there had to be absolutely quiet during business hours so as not to alert the warehouse workers below that someone was in what was thought to be a vacant part of the building.
It was worst early in the morning before the normal warehouse noises started up. They didn’t dare move, or even run water because someone may hear it draining through the pipes, which ran through the warehouse.
Nights and weekends they had it a little better, but not much. Then, they could do things like flush the toilet, and even walk around.
It’s thought, but not proven, that someone ratted them out to the Nazis. After all that, Anne and everyone who lived there except her father died before the end of the war. Anne died of typhoid in Bergen-Belsen only a few weeks before the allies liberated the camp.
Like my mom (who was about the same age as Anne) used to say, “cry when there’s something to cry about”.
If you’re ever in Amsterdam, I highly recommend touring Anne’s house. It moved me.
I am depressed..
I’m depressed that only a few liberals killed themselves after 2016.
