Political Venting

Apparently according to Trump, us EU and UK countries in Nato are "Cowards" for not coming to the United States rescue in the middle east (in particular) the straight of Hormuz and Iran. We won't do that because we weren't attacked by them. If we did that then putin would have been proved right, that Nato is an aggressive force and not one of defence completely f*cking the situation we are in with Russia right now and foreseeable future. The exact situation America bailed on us.

Well my friend. Just as angry upset wanting to cry too. I have emailed and called the congress and senate me.bers in my state- NM- that I was invited to phone call meeting so he can hear from his constituents about rising food prices. I will attend. I contact them advocating for social security. Don't know if this helps. My catastrophic illness i may 2014 caused cardiopulmonary arrest among other things. Lot of recovery physical mental. I had no idea at that time I would change so much I would do this. I am fairly certain too I recall the decline that resulted in cardiac arrest. I try tolive a quiet life and be on the right side of history since facism has returned. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Everything helps.
I too am looking for hitherto unused methods for positive outreach that I can use to help.
The Serenity Prayer is not only a good help, but a useful guide if I allow it to be.
Wishes for strength and serenity to all! Wish I had more to give but running a little low on optimism myself some days.
Support does help!!

Yes like serenity prayer. Always keep in mind what I do and do not control. I have reached the point where if in public there is poltical discussion disrespectful duacussion etc I will remove myself. And I will not bring thus up either. So tired of people telling me and others what we should follow react too etc.

Everyone, including me thought is was great that our government splurged for surf and turf for our military. My Veteran knew better. He said "they're gonna be sent into the shit". And he was right. Rumor has it they're sending the 82nd Airborne (my guy's division) overseas. God Speed.

It seems our president has way over stepped his limits. Any thoughts or support with fears about who or what is holding this all together. It seems leadership is gone.

What did he do now?

The Iran war is one of attrition with no way out. Who is leading things now. Diesel fuel in AZ is over 6.00 dollar a gallon.

I started writing a simple answer.
When it reaching 3,000 pages I erased it all. Started over.
Throughout history all societies have had to deal with evil psychopathic leaders, either invading them, or of their own.
I feel your unease and alarm. I have sleepless nights. But they don't do me any good. They are triggering and render me dysfunctional.
I can give advice with best of em. But can I take my own medicine?
I have to focus on me first.

Make a plan.
Become self sufficient.
Become more self sufficient.
Plant a garden.
Stockpile food & supplies if you can.
Have backup plans.
Keep busy and productive - don't allow that negative energy flow to dominate!

We may in this country be entering a period like we haven't seen since the depression or civil war, or worse, and our leaders seem hell bent pushing us there for their own profit.

So my suggestion is focus on you and yours. What you can do to protect and look out for yourself. And the biggest part of that is practicing the serenity prayer. Your mental health and peace of mind are FIRST & FOREMOST.

Have a little faith that some good leaders or good events may propel us away from all this stupidness. Unfortunately until we are rid of our current admin chaos will have to reign because that is his weapon of choice. I'm exploring political activism, PEACEFUL, positive activism, with political parties and figures. It helps.
You said you were writing letters! That really encouraged me.
Together we can all support each other and work towards a positive outcome.
Keep posting your concerns.
But try to refocus your fears into daily activities that bring about hope.

I can't always avoid the self destructive negative thoughts - but with each bout I become more determined to refocus, stay positive, not damage my health any more, and not go there again!

On my good days, life can be hell and yet I am unphased. Don't let your fears win.

Take care!

Thank you. I am doing pretty much all the things you mentioned. I do call or email senators and congressman in my state on behalf of social security. I worry like you we are headed into a period of authoritarianism. The windows to stop it is approaching. If we do like other societies aka India with Britain Chile and Pinochet khmer rouge south Africa nazi germany a period of healing and restorative justice will occur. If normal ever existed it is now gone..I am a boomer..My own experience with trauma a catastrophic illness and recovery lead me to look back at history. Plus therapy and domestic. Violence treatment where I learned about narcissism. Thank you for your post..letting go is helpful.

Well, isn't this interesting.
