I don't know what we do.

[FreepFryer]

1. Always put your oxygen mask on first before helping others, even the most helpless.

1. If you are taking care of your own health, and sharing your anxieties and fears in a healthy way, that’s first.

2., making sure your family is safe and surviving as best as possible is next. Being strong and mentally alert enough to care for your husband is crucially important, it sounds like - so don’t skip steps 1. and 2.

3., you can budget your time to help the causes most important to you (whether helping reverse the xenophobic anti immigration abuses of Trump or any number of other causes). This is necessary if we are going to survive and thrive after this dark era, but it is impossible if you don’t fulfill the prior steps on an ongoing and self-sustaining basis.

If you don’t maintain this triage priority list, you may find yourself exhausted and without the emotional resources you need to keep going.

Don’t let that happen.

Best of luck to you.
