It is another night since the election of insomnia, another day to start in a few hours that will be all right, some yawning in the afternoon and then a crash about 8:00 pm. [shrugs] My health was smashed years ago in 2 dimensions, this is an easy body problem to deal with.
I’m certainly not alone, I would guess, my therapist says since the election her calendar has been choked with patients returning in these terrible times.
[rolls eyes] Yeah I see a therapist. Shocking, isn’t it?
I’ve stated before that writing about myself isn’t wise, it can cause problems, but this has been tugging at me for days so I’m just going to say it, if the election has caused you serious mental distress that has seriously impaired other elements of your life you’re not alone. It’s not your fault, this is the most infuriating period of lying bull (for starters) we’ll ever have to live through, it would mess anybody up.
This leads to another thought worthy of codifying, here on this site naturally the best and the brightest gravitate to the front page and the editor/community lists, it’s the way of reality and humans, but we as a Party and community are not all of the best and brightest, not all of us are bright shiny pennies, things can go terribly wrong and our people get broken.
Those among us burdened with heath issues, poverty, cast aside by discrimination and sexism, limping along with wounds that life and our people inflicted upon us, that is who we are too, you are welcome as Democrats and liberals here, the gifts you possess will never be underestimated or cast aside.
It’s no secret and Daily Kos has made it part of its mission for a long time, there are all sorts of groups and writer lists to assist with almost anything, but most of all with a sense of inclusion, a way to be with people you understand and belong to.
All very true, of course, for days it’s just seemed necessary to say it. I know many of the events of the last year have hurt a lot of our people and been a total rejection of their core beliefs and life experiences. The patriarchy can be very cruel to boys too.
[small smile] It’s time to calm an outraged cat that I have run out of canned cat food with, then the gym. I’ve been a dry cat food guy all my life but in the Spring one of rescue cats got hit by a car, we tried to bring her jaw back with the wet food but it was hopeless, and his sister got hooked on it.
The year before another one of my rescue cats was killed by a car. It’s just a terrible, terrible tough time, don’t give up on yourself or your country, talk honestly with your people, get the help and meds you need, believe that things can get better and know we can build a country for the little people.
October 3rd, 2018. Please be well, gentle people.
