Have Republicans rendered you clinically depressed?

[tblue]

Poll question: Have Republicans rendered you clinically depressed?

I know I can't be the only one who is mentally, spiritually, and emotionally suffering from 10 years or more of Repug attacks (including the Clinton impeachment mess) on democracy and the Constitution.

How about you? Are you depressed, too?

[Patchuli]

1. Nothing that a Dem in the WH wouldn't cure

along with super majorities in the Houses and the prosecution for war and other crimes of those responsible. I would be (hope I will be!) dancing on the clouds should that happen!

[CoffeeCat]

2. The country is being run by psychopaths,

sociopaths and raging narcissists.

The only ones who aren't depressed are evil people who are glad that their own kind are in power...or
people who are severely in denial.

It's a badge of honor to be aware and affected by these thugs.

[driver8]

3. Absofuckinglutely...

I started taking anti-depressants shortly after 9/11 and I'm still taking them!

[LiberalEsto]

4. Anger is depression turned outward

Just as depression is anger turned inward

Maybe we need some group anger

[Demeter]

5. And I'm Planning on Getting Even! Big Time!

[annabanana]

6. It's not chronic.. But I DO find myself in a real funk from time to time...

It's hard to see a good future for the kids & (eventual) grandkids on the current trajectory. . .

[HughMoran]

7. Other - I'm gonna start kicking Republican asses

I'm sick of the morans!

[AlinPA]

8. Nope. I am telling them what I think and enjoy seeing stupid people folding.

I have lost a few "friends", but have gained some more friends lately. I firmly believe the old ignorant conservative/republican is dying out- it might take several more years, but they are on their way out. Society is changing. They are being held together now by hatred, especially fundamentalists. But that is changing too. I don't have any data, but I feel it around me. At 70 years, you start to get a feel for what is happening (how's that for confidence?).

[Da Fusa]

9. whenever I feel sad and blue, I read the musings of Da Mav

from the Zenboard, take in a little laugh from the Lizard King, seek guidance from Whiskers, Popeye, Allah Fubar and always, ALWAYS, take see what The Oracle and Beachboy have to say.

makes the day fun

[cliffordu]

10. I'm nutty as a fruitcake anyway and when I get manic I think about what

the republicans have done to my country and it depresses the shit out of me.....


The good news is the depression is easier to control

Embrace the horror.....

[mvd]

11. I have gone through anxiety and depression

In part because of health concerns, but also the stress of the election. It's hard not to be depressed about what our country has become.

[TahitiNut]

12. Happiness is a choice.

I like it that way. :shrug:

(I'm intimately familiar with clinical depression. Been there. Done that. No, thanks.)

[BlooInBloo]

13. I suspect this thread will be overrun by those who think that anyone who's happy is the enemy...

or has their head in the sand, or some other patronizing idiocy.

[Sabriel]

14. I'm depressed and fearful about the future

Not so much for me, but I'm scared what my two kids are inheriting in the next 80+ years. The climate change in particular depresses me when I think about it.

Drinking helps....

[L. Coyote]

15. Other. I'm ticked off and I'm on a year-long rant and rage!

And it feels great to give the Corrupt Bastards a few good kicks every day!

[mdmc]

16. kick

!

[Selatius]

17. I'm not depressed, just pretty fucking disappointed in my fellow Americans' critical thinking skills

Call me a disappointed idealist.

[ColbertWatcher]

18. No, the GOP aren't worth the trouble. n/t

[lonestarnot]

23. But the fucking war, economy, housing market, I'd say that you may want to reconsider.

[ColbertWatcher]

26. The people who are sent to war matter; the GOP who avoided military service do not.

The people effected by the shitty economy matter, but the GOP that made the economy shittier does not matter.

The people losing their homes matter, but the GOP who profited off a market they manipulated to damage as many people as possible do not matter.

[rug]

No, but I've contracted Oppositonal Defiance Disorder.

[Beregond2]

19. I started on Effexor right after Dubyas second "election."

[Swamp Rat]

20. smoke weed

:smoke:



:D

[KharmaTrain]

30. Here Here!!!

:smoke:



:hi:

[lonestarnot]

21. Nearly, but I would never fucking cop to any success to their shit tactics.

[Greyhound]

22. I'm depressed, probably clinically, but I have no insurance nor access

to help so I just self medicate and wait for the end.

[scarletwoman]

24. Other. The Republicans piss me off, it's the Democrats that depress me. (nt)

[tammywammy]

25. No, not at all.

I'm very happy with my life.

[Odin2005]

27. Yep, and I'm on Paxil for it.

It's hard NOT to be depressed when there are so many dumb sheep walking around.

[2KS2KHonda]

28. Me no worry, me be happy.

:D :silly:

[rucky]

29. Where's the "I'm a Scientologist" option?

[pitohui]

31. no i don't allow fuckwits to control my mental health

a wise man once said there is no heaven or hell but thinking makes it so

i will not allow evil doers to make me depressed and unhappy in my one and only life

for most of human history it's a fact of human nature that that evil aggressive men take control, if you allow yourself to get depressed about it, you have a fairly narrow window of opportunity to be happy

[JeffR]

32. Clinically pissed off, angry, furious, steaming, fuming, fulminating,

well sure. Depressed, no.

[lonestarnot]

33. I approve of your message!

:evilgrin:

[Naturyl]

34. I have a pre-existing condition...

That has been aggravated a great deal by these people.

So did they cause the condition? Nope. Have they done everything they could to make it worse? Yep, roger that.

[asteroid2003QQ47]

35. Other. The R's piss me off, it's the "Democrats" that depress me too. (nt)

[Sanctified]

36. I hope the people who selected (Yes, and I've seen a doctor/therapist/take meds for it) are joking.

How can we possibly change the country if we have that many people seeing professional help over a political party. Man I must be too much of an Optimist, and focus more on the good stuff our party is doing over all the crap the other party is doing.
