And I don’t mean metaphorically tired, like physically tired. I feel like since Trump took office the amount of mental load consumed by his antics (edit: fascism in general) has physically worn me down. I used to have energy to exercise, do hobbies, or like even yardwork. Now all I want to do is lay in bed. I even have a hard time spending time with my family and friends. Luckily I am still engaged and productive at work, but that’s the only time I feel good which is not what I want out of life.

I probably should just up my antidepressants and log off

    I think most people around the world are exhausted.

    That is yet another contradiciton of our capitalist system, requiring hard working labor for profit extracton, but wearing down the workers to the point of exhaustion.

    And as any other contradiction, it is unsustainable.
