83. I'm fricking terrified

This catastrophe is like the sum of all my fears.

Hell, I'm even afraid for my personal safety now, even though I live in Canada. This shitstorm doesn't respect borders.

I've gotta admit, a big part of why I so desperately wanted Hillary to win was because I knew I wasn't mentally healthy enough for the level of persistent resistance that is required of us now. I was barely holding it together with anxiety and depression under Obama's presidency when life was "easy," and now every day is a constant battle just to keep the country's collective head above water. Not that I thought Hillary's presidency would be perfect, and I could just lay back knowing everything was puppies and rainbows in my government, but I could trust her to use good judgment and protect my and my fellow citizens' freedoms to her fullest potential

I don't know what to do. I'm not just upset and angry; that would be normal. I feel like my entire body is shutting down. I can hardly think straight. I'm having nonstop migraines. I sleep through my alarm because I don't have the strength to force myself to get out of bed when I need to anymore. I tried going to a therapist last year post-election, and she dismissed my concerns as pretty trivial (I can't try finding another one now before anyone suggests it b/c mental health costs are higher under my new insurance plan that went into effect the beginning of this year). No one understands how much this election meant to me. It seems like it was "just an election" to everyone, including that therapist I went to, so there's no point trying even to talk to people about how it's affecting me. If anything, the second the election comes up, family and friends jump on an opportunity to tell me how terrible of a candidate Hillary was and how naive I was for supporting her, and I'm just thinking, "You have no idea how much her campaign meant to me, and you're shitting on one of the few things that gave me hope the past year to my face. Thanks." 

I feel guilty every time I don't participate in a protest or don't read up on some new disastrous news story. Yet I feel like I can't participate in everything or even a lot of resistance efforts without literally dying. I felt like I was dying in the parking lot before I marched the day after the inauguration. I dunno, I just really feel like I won't survive fighting this shite for four years. I want to do my part in resisting normalizing, but my body and mind won't stop fighting against me. I knew this would happen if he won.


Holy shite

It's funny. They are a mess. The Left on this board is far more sane than on that site.

Keep reading that site. There are some hard lefties on this board that got kicked off of there because they were deemed too far Right.

These people think they are being persecuted, so if we are going to bear the cost as alleged persecutors, we might as well give them what they want (fear). Camps may not be such a bad idea after all.

As a good baw I'm headed out to Walmart right now, as they are open 24hrs a day. Aw, the hell with it. I'll use my entrenching tool.

Where is this poor soul located? I will go there now and prepare a grave site.

Trample the weak, hurdle the dead.

Just scanning those replies I almost think that board is being trolled by 4chan to make them look bad. That is LucasP level shite.

There is no way people are they deranged.

ETA: It would be funny to go brigade them, but we'd probably get banned within minutes, not worth the effort.

These idiots should just yank off the Band Aid and off themselves if the mental anguish of Trump is putting them out of commission.

So the left is both mentally weak and thoroughly corrupt in their support of voiding elections they don't like?

The country is doomed whenever they weasel their way to power again

Camps are necessary because these left people are actually a danger to themselves and the community. These hardcore leftists need a place, a safe space, to go to sort things out. A place that puts value on a hard day's work, a place where they can take fasting to a new level. I think after a decade or so working in a mine most of these folks would have an entirely different view of things.

I highly recommend going there and screwing with the SJW's. Reading the DU forums literally makes you feel as if you are in a mental institution -- some pretty crazy shite over there. Oh, it will not take them long to get you banned (as presenting a conservative point of view at DU is like sticking your finger in a hornets nest because it seriously riles them up) but it is totally worth it.

Doomed as in the same way Obama & Co. pulled the US out of the 2007 meltdown? But I do admit that the crazies on that site all need to drive their Prius's off a cliff. tRump may be a fricked up dotard but most us just laugh at small hands rather than anguish.
