...trying to watch his "press conference" today about the Coronavirus...all I wanted to do, and I'm not exaggerating, was lie down, shut my eyes, and drift off. Seeing this so-called human being ranting like a maniac...I dunno. I just reached some sort of psychic breaking point today. This issue is so serious, and he is so totally fucked up...which means, of course, that we are too. The thought of even ten more months of this makes me feel physically ill. The prospect of four more years... My stress level between now and November is going to be unbearable. My blood pressure is already sky high, and I can't afford doctor visits or meds for it. I find myself thinking that maybe, if he pushes it high enough, I'll have my long-expected stroke, and I'll be out of this nightmare. Then I laugh at myself, of course, and repeat my mantra: "Don't let the bastards get you down". After awhile, it even works...kind of. But it gets harder and harder... Rant over. Thanks for letting me blow off steam...

(63,221 posts)It feels unbearable at times. Try to unplug for periods of time if you can. Watch funny, upbeat movies, read, go for walks, spend time with people who cheer you up.
Take care of yourself! He's not worth it.

(23,562 posts)i don't watch or listen but read anything that portrays him
maybe 1 or 2 at most (vids here) , but i can't stand to see or hear him at all
i can cope with the news here, but not on tv except local, and if he comes on then, mute, change channel, disconnect immediately
i'm better for it
