You need to have at least one day/week (two days if you can do it) where you don't watch or listen to any news, from any source. Not a solution but it does help 'recharge' the battery, reground yourself. Myself, I like to hike, garden and read. I don't know of anybody who is thinking about politics and the state of the world while engaged in any of these activities. Whatever your bliss is, do that.
I just read an article about super agers, the 80 somethings and 90 somethings that have the health and brains of people 20 years older. One of them was a Holocaust survivor who volunteers at the Holocaust museum in Chicago testifying to school children. My immediate thought was “if he could survive X years in a concentration camp and be 90 years old, still telling the tale, then I can survive 3 1/2 years of Trump, working the entire time to tell the truth and get rid of him”.
I mean, think about the Ukrainians living with constant bombings the past 3 years. I’m getting a new roof today, and the hammering shaking the walls and my ears is really getting to me. That made me think “what if these were bombs, and it happened every day?”
We can get through this. Don’t give up. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
I’m so tired of being angry and upset every day, all the time. I don’t know if my heart can take this for 3.5 more years.
