Just because our elected leader is stupid, deluded, self-centered and cowardly does not mean we have to follow his lead. We can and will be better than that. We have to be.

He has had to explain to his children why they must be extra diligent not to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is worried about the safety of his elderly father going out in public alone. I find these things heartbreaking. I am glad that he tells me about these things although I feel helpless other to confirm that I hate my white privilege and will not tolerate racism in any form. Please know that decent, conscientious Americans will not stand by and allow you to be ostracized by the bigots. We will call out the bigots here, there and everywhere. Zero tolerance for any form of discrimination must be the law of the land, even if it takes another civil war to accomplish it. I lived in Canada for 37 years and multiculturalism is embraced and encouraged there. But it does not sound like a move is available to you.

I'm glad you said something. As if there being both psychological and physical symptoms of depression weren't bad enough, the unpredictable onset is especially hard to cope with. I'm sorry that you're feeling poorly. How I wish I knew something to say to make you feel better. Is there anything that has worked for you in the past? The first thing I tell myself is that it is temporary and will pass, because it always does. In the interim, sometimes distraction works for me. If my body hurts, I do a little exercise to get my blood flowing. I think talking to someone one feels close to helps some people quite a bit, but for me turning my attention to the day's work is most helpful because usually the more productive I have been, the better I feel at the end of the day. Sometimes I give the cats some extra attention because of course they never think they get enough, and that feels good. Sometimes I just forget about trying to feel better and just allow myself to cry even if I'm not crying about anything in particular. Sometimes crying is a helpful release. I'm sure I haven't said anything you haven't thought of yourself, but I did distract you for a moment and hopefully convinced you that you're not alone. No matter who we are, we have value even if it doesn't feel like it. Just for a moment, please think about that quality that is special about you. Big hug.
