My 4 year psychological survival plan for my wife and I. added - THANK YOU All. I am stunned!

101. For some,

We feel helpless because there is zero we can do. Being in my 70’s, and with limited funds, I can’t go gallivanting all over to rallies and marches. My writing hundreds of postcards for a campaign is hard due to arthritis. I don’t have an unlimited talk and text phone plan for doing phone banking.

Spending hours online arguing with MAGA heads is doing no good. And also ruining my mental health. I love Rachel M and Lawrence O but can’t keep up the pace of hearing nothing but bad news. As with many others, I was devastated by November 5th. I only JUST started watching Rachel this Monday. No other news on TV at all. I can’t stomach the hype. I’ve also cut back on online garbage. All the liberal YouTube content creators I love, I just can’t take all the “hopeful” breathless news that is repeated as nauseum. And then nothing pans out. Glen K, Popok Legal AF, Meidas Touch, they all are so helpful and hopeful. But in the end, we are left falling asleep knowing that TFG is a juggernaut with the GOP as the grand enabler.

I’m with the OP. I’m mentally and emotionally warn out. I am already crying again now that D day is approaching.

I’m not abandoning the party, I’m watching out for my own well being. Otherwise I won’t survive the next 4 years. Rest assured, I keep current with Reuters and AP, etc. But the steady diet of other forums and content has got to be curtailed.

We do what we have to do, otherwise we are no good to anybody.
