I have similar feelings of anticipatory grief and sorrow, which is to say, I see you, friend. My coping mechanism has always been “action absorbs anxiety” but I’m not sure that’s really working right now because there are just so many things pointing toward despair. I “do” see some pinpricks of light on the horizon and I will continue the good fight. Holding you tenderly as you navigate these waters.
Thank you Sue Ann. This thread is giving me hope, haha. I’m glad that we are friends and can see each other. I remember being a kid and feeling so invisible at times. Now I have friends who get it ❤️
I wonder a lot about whether I’m depressed or just having appropriate feelings at life and world circumstances. 💗 thank you for sharing. right here with you.
I appreciate your example of resilience and asking the hard questions. Reminds me of “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” -Jiddu Krishnamurti
Oh my, Kate. What a way to describe how I think many of us our doing..I so, so feel you my friend. I worry about my health and dying too soon, leaving my disabled daughter alone early, about both Mt children, my partner and his set of obstacles, my aging parents being so far away, the economy, the shitshow that is global politics, the climate, the planet. And the list goes on and on. Don't have many comforting things to day, other than hanging on to the people and things that give us purpose is the only way forward. Sending love your way♥️
Took the words right out of my mouth.

I think it’s comforting just knowing that I’m not alone. I’m not glad that we are depressed, haha, but I’m glad that we are together ❤️
I love you sweet friend. I love your heart. Your courage. Your words. Thank you for sharing you, with us.
I love you too Mary Lynn ❤️
