My impression is that political forums can be really bad for emotional health, and often are. Also potentially toxic to political understanding. Nothing's lost by skipping months of this stuff. Just a suggestion, of course, but DU has plenty of happy places to meet friends while avoiding what's become way too much.
Btw, imo believers in all religious denominations should be protected from attack under the no bigotry/insensistivity rule, no exceptions. Of course? Christianity needs to be explicitly listed along with others to stop the attacks. A lot more DUers than those assertive enough to mention it must be hurt and offended, and wondering, that a forum where liberal Democrats gather is not a safe place for all. Stay cool. |

I think we're all sort of shell shocked at the level of discourse in the country today. I'm having a really hard time with the people I know who still identify as republicans. I just don't see how kind & decent people can vote for republicans. This includes some people I care for. WTF?
 How do they not see the depravity of the current republican party's policies?
Is there anyway you can day or two, just for yourself? Do the little things that please you, or do nothing at all, but make some time just for you. My sympathies on the death of your mother. |

My advice is to be good to yourself, do whatever you need to do to take care of YOU. It can help to get away from the everyday, even if it's just a few hours in a nearby park. Whatever helps you recover emotionally.
And hang in there, this too shall pass. |

I've reached the point where I can't even have my TV on during the day. I still hear the news shows at night, but I need to limit the time on those too. I try to watch movies, go for walks, play with my dog, read books. I'm more escapist now than ever in my life. I don't want to be this way forever, but I need to preserve my sanity.
Hugs to you, Peacetrain! Try not to think too much. Realize that part of this is because you're still grieving the loss of your Mom. Don't try to rush it, grieving is an important time and only you will know when that time is over. |

...but I'll make up for you, I feel great...
...contrary to crap corporate polls, I think things are generally heading down the right track in the right direction... ...I'm optimistic for our collective future, why? ...YOUNG PEOPLE... ...the young people I know are smart, resourceful, Progressive, aware, strong and resilient ...they're willing to get involved, they're wiling to fight...they haven't bought into or accepted the standard corporate exceptionalism bullshit... ...I'm not young but I 'care' more than ever...I 'care' for our posterity...we will solve all our major problems when we push the old greedy entrenched self-interests out of our collective way...and we shall, we must... ...I won't be around to see or share in that future or vision, but I still 'care'...I have to 'care' ...hope you find peace...  |
