Poll of the Day > My brain is turning to mush...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Trying to talk about world events in this climate is stressing me out like no ones business.

Like I cant even simplify how Im feeling into a concise post because of all the things getting under my skin.

Its times like these where I wonder why I never took up drinking.

As someone who formerly drank way too much and lost almost all interest in alcohol... You're not missing much.

Especially if your brain is turning to mush. Being fuzzy headed and hangovers won't help that. Trust me, I know. I tried it.

In these difficult times remember to follow the HERD.

You need to make time for yourself so you don't stress out.

And stay hydrated. Dehydration can negatively affect your mental well-being just as it does your physical health.

Yeah my anxiety has been pretty bad the last few days. My mind keeps racing with possibilities for how much worse the second half of this year will get, and I really REALLY hope I'm wrong.

---

The worse things get, the harder people will push for change. Things are getting way out of hand, so I'm hoping that when this is all over, we'll have a lot of good to look forward to.

Delete your social media accounts and stop talking politics with randos on the internet.

Let yourself be free.

Smoke weed every day.

You aren't kidding. Bring up Obamagate and everyone throws a shit fit, even though 2020 makes complete sense when you analyze that angle.

Very good advice. The hydration part goes double if youre a caffeine addict.

I feel a bit better after making some posts that finally conveyed how I was feeling adequately.

That's good.

Sometimes you just gotta let the bad out, instead of it sitting and festering.

Forget to say this before, but good luck.

Don't buckle under the pressure.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
