And I get that. It sucks. I am not exactly a font of optimism. But what I also know is that wallowing in despair is not productive. That if all you do is sit and nurse the outrage and the hate GUESS WHAT that is what you feel. We know this. That’s what Fox does. And how the fuck does that improve anyone’s life? It doesn’t. It’s not healthy.

So I am pushing for critical thinking, and building resiliency, and self-care, because this is going to be a long fight and if you burn out now you’re going to be useless down the road. Take a day and cope if you need to but this fight isn’t over. Treating it like it is guarantees a loss though.

Christ, I know this isn’t helpful. I know it’s wankery, but I need some catharsis, and christ, I don’t know, someone to help talk me off the ledge too.

Considering I have been dealing with legit depression that I’ve been struggling to keep a cap on that I’ve yet been able to properly see anyone for due to repeated runarounds with the state Medicaid offices, and the fact that this will make it even further impossible to afford, I’m struggling to find outlets to vent myself on that. And I don’t trust myself whatsoever not to fuck something up if I tried to volunteer on anything.
