Just putting this out there. I'm doing ok, despite the current situation we have in the US., but I have moments throughout the day where it's just overwhelming.
I've disconnected from social media and news in general, a LOT more than I thought I'd have to. I'm here, mostly, but even Mastodon is filled with the disaster headlines, you know?
I'm 64, and when the overwhelming thoughts come up, I then think "Well, I have MAYBE 20 more years, based on life expectancies and my genetics.
I have a lot less years ahead of me than what are behind me, if you get my meaning!
I imagine I 'm not alone in the worry of where we will end up in 4 years. I have begun looking JUST for hopeful news, and though I appreciate and help those who are fighting against it, my fear is it's too late?
Anyway, just putting it out there. It helps to get it out of my head.
