The state of country is really depressing me. I feel like I'm going to need stronger antidepressants because I can't stop thinking about how everything is going to shit. I'm so scared of what's going to happen. I'm the only one in my family who didn't vote for those monsters. To anyone in our allied countries, I'm so sorry we let you down. I wish I could do more to help but I don't know how or what I can do

The best thing you can do is to document as much as you are capable of, stay safe and give yourself space to rest. Know that there are people fighting this within and abroad and you're not alone. It feels like it, but that's not the reality of the situation. If you can document and collect enough BS, maybe, just maybe that can be shared with your family, but most importantly π¬πππ² π¬πππ and don't put yourself at any unnecessary risk. Don't know your situation, but things can get better.

Let yourself grieve. Fully grieve. Then focus on your immediate surroundings. Where and with who can you build an in-person community. The only way to survive is to build community. Oppressed people have always done that to survive. Itβs ok to sit down and learn how to do that, but focus on that, not all the bad going on. Community. Build and support each other.

I hear you and feel you. If you need to, just take care of you for now. It is the best thing to do, in that you can't care for others unless you take care of your self first. And so take that space, find the things you can be greatful for. And know that fighting the oppressors can take many forms and you doing OK midst the madness is a form of fighting back. And then when you are able find your local community. And know there are others. Sending hugs

Forget and let go.. let the weight off for a time while you recover. Don't let this drown you too long. Find a lighthouse to the shore and breathe the best you can. Be selfish and just survive the day for now.

I wish it was possible to help people relocate to places where they share values with the people around them

I'm with you friend. I keep thinking to myself how badly I want justice, or someone anyone who can do something to just do it. I'm too poor to take real action, and I'm not smart enough to or connected enough to make waves. I'm trapped in a no name city in a meaningless state. All I can do is have a plan to run if it gets too bad but I foolishly finally let my guard down after trump lost last time. It's too much.
