Hi everyone. Like a lot of you here I have been feeling stressed and have not been behaving like myself. My dreams have been crazy too. Yesterday at work someone was saying only Trump could win an election and horrible things about Bernie, and I almost lost it and stormed out. For the rest of the day I was fuming, I picked a fight with my husband over dishes and woke up this morning still feeling angry. I've been on edge for a long time, just wanting to scream at the universe for this mess and the inability of people to see what's coming. To be fair I don't know what's coming but I feel a reckoning of some sort will happen - I honestly don't know what it will be. I hope I'm just being paranoid.
Hi Natalie - I've been feeling that way since Nov 9 2016...
All we can do is center ourselves, prepare where possible, and breathe.
If you are up in Canada, I think you can breathe a little easier than those of us down here in the Lower 48. I'm right next to a huge air/sub/navy base... every time I hear a training jet-fighter fly over my house I hold my breath. I've seen the old declassified maps of nuclear targets here, and they're within 2 miles of my house. I continue to have apocalyptic-nuclear nightmares. I've had them since the first Cold War, but they've reintensified in the last couple of years.
To be honest, my functional depression is actually serving me well, as I'm literally starting to not care, in the sense that if humans are responsible for wiping out humanity, it's probably for the best. Maybe we don't deserve to be the primary life form on this planet.
Hang in there. Sending you love and light.
