I'm terrified too, and mad as hell, and I don't have any support or anyone to talk to here. I've alienated everyone because I'm not easygoing, and not good at "go along to get along". I wake up lonely and directionless and just want to start immediately drinking. I want to go to Rehoboth beach or DC or wherever that waste of human sperm known as the "leader of the free world" is and shake him so hard his head snaps off his neck. Then I want to go to Russia so I can live in a country that actually has human values, with a sane leader who cares what happens to HIS country and isn't flying billions of his people's money to corrupt plutocrat-run countries.

I need to check out of everything news-related, but I can't take the loneliness and at least this substack gives me a reason to open my eyes in the morning.

“God is our refuge and our strength, an ever present help in time of trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth give way, and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.” Psalm 46:1-2

Ps 46:1-2 needs to be our “mantra” when times are dark.

I went through this too. Felt the same way. I found out I am stronger for it. I believe God is stripping me down to a core. I know the scales of lies have fallen from my eyes. I feel rejuvenation and I do not fear. What happens, happens. Get right with The Lord. ❤

I believe God is stripping all of us down to a core, or at least, those awake enough to listen to His voice!

All the energy you are putting on the issues of the world are bringing your spirit down. Take a step back, let go of the burden of saving the world from stupidity, and breathe in while you thank God for your sanity. Look for friends and you will find them, look for enemies and you will find them. Seek peace and see beyond the temporary, exaggerated, outstandingly bloated lies the media spews at us daily. Rest in the thought that God is setting things up for His glory to be revealed. Nothing else matters. No bomb, no politician, no evil ruler, no war, no disease, no financial crisis, no amount of climate change (LOL), and no amount of darkness can thwart or interrupt His victorious return. Let the worries of this world fade into overwhelming mercy and grace. Let your heart rest in God's exponentially superior plans for us. Let peace fill your heart and then share it with those who need it more than you do. There is so much power in pouring out what God has filled you with. Be still in the power of his love.

Laura-Ann, I want you to know that my family and I will be praying for you. You ARE NOT alone. Jesus loves you and there's a whole family of God out there that would rally around you with love if you only reached out. Glad that C&C is a glimmer of hope, but the Bible is a read full of promises of even bigger reward and peace! Read the book of James!... but don't think that you can or have to live life alone. Reach out to the Church. Praying!

Do you mean you'd "like to bang on that monkey skull of his until it rings like a Chinese gong"? 🙋🏻‍♀️
