I'm not able to be a "political Junkie" anymore right now

4. The funny thing is

nothing ever kept me from DU and even now, here I am, but only in this forum, usually! I told my husband to let me know if there was anything political I needed to know. It used to be the other way around.

But it isn't that I'm depriving myself - I have just lost interest. I haven't lost interest in other things, so it isn't depression. I just don't have any desire to feed the anger gremlin in me.

I hope I get to the point that I can stay informed and yet, not feed the gremlin, but for now, I'm going where I'm happiest and that happens to be working my recovery. I'm quite sure Obama would understand and I will vote, I'm just not going to sling mud this year.
