I’m so sorry. I can’t begin to imagine what you’re feeling right now. I’m happy that you have friends/family who loves you and can support you. I’m sure that this would be much more difficult without people giving you the love you need in this time. Please know we’re here if you need to talk, we love you comrade. <3
Okay, I know this probably isn’t the answer you want to hear, but I would highly recommend taking a break from politics in general. I used to be like you, and some days I still am. But seriously, your mental health is incredibly important. Reading about all the horrors of this world is taxing on your mind, and you deserve to take a break. When I was like this all the time, it felt wrong to ignore everything. Like I personally was committing an evil act simply by not knowing about all the terrible things that happen. But just try taking a day off of the internet. Even if you think I’m stupid for suggesting this, it could still be worth a try for you. And remember, don’t give up. If you give in to the pain and do something you can’t reverse, you won’t be able to help with the revolution. It may take a while, but more and more people are realizing this system is evil. Just try to stay around for when that happens, okay? <3
This may sound stupid and trivial, but it worked for me. Try taking up a new hobby that you have never even thought about before. Something totally out there! The motivation problem is a big one, but if you can force yourself to experience something new your body/brain will thank you. : ) Some examples you could try-
Writing: I have been having a lot of fun creating my own short stories and scripts. You may not be into that, but it’s worth a shot.
Woodworking: Try and find a nice block of wood somewhere, just some scrap will do. And try to make something! It doesn’t have to be anything good either, just go with the flow.
Metalworking: This has been my savior throughout the pandemic. I never knew metalwork could be so much fun! Out of everything I said, this would be the hardest to do, and probably the most expensive. But if you look up some tutorials on YouTube about blacksmithing, you can make a nice little forge in your garage. Obviously be careful about setting your house on fire, but I just use a metal trash can lid over the coals to keep the sparks from flying everywhere.
If anyone else has any other neat hobby ideas, feel free to add on!
Might be a stupid question, but can I get in trouble for this? I’ve never really done anything like this before, so I’m a bit nervous.
“Tucker and Dale VS Evil” is one of my favorite movies, kinda dark in subject matter with some gore, but in a comedic way.
I’d love to give it a read, do you have a link?
I can’t type either, it’s not that big of a deal.
How has the thigh highs thing become fascist? I’m so confused.
I actually didn’t know this, thank you for the info!
