Advice on taking care of yourself in these dark times?

Hard to admit, but I suffer from severe depression and anxiety. The Trump era has really made my health worse. I've been feeling sick daily, severe headaches constantly, all kinds of other health issues probably due to stress.

Things are getting even worse with Trump's acquittal. Seeing so many people in this country celebrate America becoming a dictatorship is seriously screwing me up. Twitter is overrun by people claiming Trump is vindicated and the whole impeachment was a scam, he's totally innocent. They're now praising every dictator move he does. I'm not sure how many of them are bots compared to real people, but I'm just not convinced it's possible for Trump to lose the next election.

I'm having a real hard time coping with it. Any advice on how to stay somewhat positive? I just feel like Dems and the good guys can't catch a break.

What's going on with the NY AG?

Why hasn't the NY AG started going after the Trump kids for all their financial crimes in New York? Neither Trump nor Barr can stop them and it would create leverage to get Trump to resign. But it seems like the AG is doing nothing.

Reason to worry?

And a new poll has Trump's approval ticking up slightly to 46%. Either these stats are being manipulated, or the US really is a lost cause. I see so much anecdotal evidence of people being fed up with Trump and the GOP, even in states like Texas among Republicans, and yet Trump's approval either stays the same, or slightly goes up.

And we're not yet seeing the massive turnout we need to win this year.

They make good ads. Hope they make one against every Republican Senator.

100% disqualifying. We cannot move past Trump's scandals and crimes.
