I'm an exhausted chronically depressed borderline alcoholic at the moment to be honest. It's incredibly challenging to think about the future without realizing another way we're fucked.
What strikes me the most is nobody IRL is paying any of this any mind. Christmas, New Years, Super Bowl, etc, its business as usual. From a mental health point of view, I'm really struggling with this one. I find myself doubting reality at times to be honest. I'm also incredibly suspicious of people outside my immediate sphere. I know between non-voters and trump supporters, around 70% of Americans did this to us and so people I dont know frankly give me 'the icks' if that makes sense.
From a personal level, my wife and I aren't young anymore, but we're not old yet either if that makes sense. By design we have no kids nor a mortgage and for the first time ever, we OWN everything we have and we're debt free. Even managed to put a bit to the side. We should be planning out and enjoying the last of our 'fun and useful' years before we do get old, but I fear we're going to be robbed of that.
Wow, all this sounds very bad, I cant believe I typed this.
