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

    Much more in line with this. Gaza started before Trump (the current genocide, and all other tragedies), climate change dismissal is bipartisan, our rights have been sold or bargained by liberals, etc. Trump is just an acceleration of the status quo, so it feels weird to link him singularly to current listlessness
