I take my folding chair to any of several local parks almost every day. I play scrabble games, take pictures, participate here, or listen to radio.

It's overwhelming for so many of us to be sure. I was just reading an article about the extreme increase in depression and suicide right now, in part because of the long-term effect of uncertainty for what our future will bring (sorry, I don't have the link). I don't have the details, but know that you are not alone.

But we're here - check in any time - and it sounds like you're going in the right direction by going outside and getting away from it all. Do that as often as you can.

I hear u . I feel all the same plus I am angry .
I can’t find any words to comfort u , and that’s unusual for me , all I can say is that u are not alone .
I keep saying to self , “ better days are coming “. Preferably when a cup of coffee on hands , u know , that brief 45 mnt that second pair of wings grows .
Some x , instead of looking the whole big ugly pic, it helps to look the few trees in front of u , and nurture them .
Like , one tree at the time , water / trim / feed , next . Keep an eye on the big forest w peripheral vision , but find the tree infront of u to take care of .
Here is a smile for u : imagine if u weren’t just a bird . I say , let’s take it to the next level : huge pterodactyls , and we can fly and shit on trump on his people .
Smile . Better days will come . Hugs .

I feel the same way. The only thing keeping me sane is not watching/reading the news and doing some other activity. It's a struggle for sure.
