I'm tired of pretending not to be depressed

20. I know... my dad literally told me the same thing yesterday.

He and my mom are 83 and have experience and perspective. I told my dad that the cult/base has documented psychological characteristics. In fact I sent this article to my mom yesterday to share with my dad. As I said...you are not alone and we are all trying to cope with this in our own individual ways. My dog is 14 1/2 and is my best medicine. I have a serious medical condition and at first I wanted to die as soon as possible so I wouldn't have to suffer through the physical pain of my disease on top of having to watch much country being destroyed by the fake prez and pals (the silver lining) then I realized that I want to see the fucking moron and GOP go down in well deserved flames so that I could die in peace.

You could also do what I have been doing...RESIST in any way you can and works for you. I am an illustrator and have been making pins, earrings, bumper stickers and cards that are anti-tRump. I also have been calling Congress (over 400 times so far), signing petitions, going to rallies, volunteering at phone banks, etc.

I also ordered a clown punching bag which I drew his ugly, orange face on and when I am pissed off I kick and punch it a few times (my dog barks at it). Do whatever you can to deal with it until the majority feel as we do and says "enough is enough". Also, talk about it, let it out, yell at the TV, whatever makes you feel less frustrated and helpless. If you feel that you are doing something to enlighten others or just vent, go for it.
