Get offline. Swap the booze for coffee. Work out at the gym. Don’t watch Tv

What I am realizing is that anger is filling me more and more by the day.


I've been suffering from the same affliction. There is much to be angry about, frankly. We exist in a world where meritocracy and reason are waning, reactionary ignorance and blind dogmatism are waxing. The reflexive conformity and oppressive censorship of the last month have been suffocating. Rationalism, evidence, argument, knowledge, thought, moderation are all in peril. But know that you are not alone. There are others who feel the way you do. And the one constant in the world is change. Reason may rise again. Focus on the things you can control, become the best person you can be, fight judiciously for the things you believe in when the opportunity arises, and live.

Take pride in knowing you are part of a group that is the last collection of people on earth expected to act like an adult about anything.

But don't tell anyone about the pride. Because that's racist as frick.

Social media can be addicting like adult sex websites. Unplug and relax. There are way more of us than the bad protestors. The media is propaganda...unplug.

Jesus said, pray for your enemies. He knows what’s up. Keep your focus on God. The Devil has people up in arms. The Devil is our enemy.

Live each moment and trust your faith. Faith is like a muscle that must be exercised. Drink water, relax, and exercise your brain with positivity. God has control. The Bible promises it.

Sounds like you're drowning in that White Guilt.

Bet I'm whiter than you are, and I feel none of it. I did my time. I paid my debt to society.

Did all of that. It only help a little while I was busy.

Stop moving and it all comes rushing back.

If I go some place and see other black people I wonder if they hate me. Will they start beating on me when I'm not looking?

After the last month and a half I feel very differently about this board used to think you're a bunch of idiots now I think you're a bunch of lovable idiots to the OP I know I'm going to sound like a prick after a while for saying this but learn to appreciate the little things live day by day and thank God for the blessings you have.

And remember 2020 has only been 6 months Yes its sucked it has sucked hard but it's only one year out of a lifetime things will get better things will get worse things will get boring and whatever your current situation is the given time the one thing for sure is it will change

As others have said, the best thing to do right now is to completely cut yourself off from social media and TV.

The media wants you to hate your fellow man, but when you get out and talk to them you will see that we all have much more in common than we think. Ignorance is bliss right now.

All Facebook, Instagram, and twitter were doing was making me hate 90% of my friends and family so I deactivated all of them. Now that I can’t see their white guilt posts I find it much easier to love them.

I’ve tried to funnel this into yardwork and doing some active things, but it hasn’t seemed to help.

Emotionally, I feel like giving up.



Step 1: Play with a dog.

Step 2: Buy a punching bag and go to town on it.

Step 3: Put it in your fiancee's butt.

Step 4: Go see a psychiatrist if steps 1-3 did not work.

Then I would strongly suggest You having a medical professional assist you. Most GP will want to prescribe pills, but really suggest that you seek a non chemical treatment in the form of therapy.

These were a lifesaver for me when I was younger and just had my second child. Life can be a dream and nightmare...someone Can help you Through the tough times.

Right there with you. I own a business and the number of whiney offended snowflakes sucks the joy out of everything.

There was a video last night of a couple dancing at another business here in town. The video showed the employees wearing masks and taking precautions.

But the TWO people dancing didn't have masks on.

Guess what the offended Karen's pointed out? Yeah, the patrons didnt have masks on.

I hate those people with a passion.

Rewatch last night’s MAGA rally. It restored my faith in humanity, and reminded me that there are other sane people still out there!!!
