Tough topic(s), but beautifully written. Your words perfectly captured the feelings of many. Most of us can only muster enough strength to react with stunned silence each day (before we brace for the next wave of bad news). Trying to wrap our minds around all that is happening is exhausting. I can't imagine attempting this while also dealing with chronic illness.
Your self-care suggestions are wonderful. I've stopped doom scrolling or watching national news before bed, and now only watch comedies. There's only so much of the outside world that we can control. Thanks for the reminder that mental and physical health is an important priority. You are appreciated!
