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

    Basically what I’ve done besides this website. My problem is that I’m not in any IRL orgs that actually do anything to help anything and I don’t have the time to, so the news just fills me with an impotent despair. I don’t see the point anymore until there’s something I can meaningfully contribute towards a solution.
