1. I know. It's all demonic. The Republicans are all demonic. Pray to bring them down!

6. Good advice!
|
But it is so difficult to follow when these latter-day Nazis are wreaking havoc with literally everything I have stood for throughout my 70+ year life!
For me, the determination, the resistance, the persistence, the organization, the focus and the concentration that you speak of are all there. But dismay, horror and real fear drive them, together with my utter loathing for what these people are doing. |

|
why it really is impossible to talk to many Republicans today. That hatred that is "easily practiced and readily coursing through just about every Republican vein" is indeed a "foreign body," alien to basic humanity and humanity's aspirations. Too many have it and are doing nothing to fight it. Such people have truly have lost their souls as well as their minds.
So long as you find that "foreign body" unnerving when you recognize it in yourself, you are not in danger of losing yours. 
Stay strong and keep yourself as physically healthy as you can. Stay as far away from toxic people and situations as you can. I realize that may be hard in the workplace or in "red" areas, but try not to let anyone "push your buttons" - always easier said than done, but still.... Listening to music you love, reading good literature, interacting with friends and family you love and then working as hard as YOU personally can to make whatever difference in whatever way you can will help. Remember that you are NOT alone. We are legion and we were indeed the majority - even in the 2016 debacle! If you haven't already become part of Pantsuit Nation, see whether you know anyone personally who is and who will nominate you because I believe that the site is still private to avoid the "anti-everything" bots. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantsuit_Nation There are so many inspiring stories from so many wonderful people there. There are also many inspiring groups that have arisen from the Women's March on Washington and they spell out how to remain active and make positive contributions. |

I have felt this too - and have considered going to a therapist. Don't want to do drugs or drink, but want this out of my life. Some days, Death would not be unwelcome.

26. My usually very low blood pressure is now clinically hypertension.
|
It started in mid-November. I never had an issue AT ALL until then; that, along with a worsening insomnia. I have a uncharacteristic short fuse. I've almost entirely stopped baking, which is an activity I usually enjoy. My usually vivid and exciting dreams are now nightmares. I miss the old me. I feel tired.
