From T.O.S: Is anyone else having a REALLY HARD TIME coping?

[Partisan Hack]

I apologize but I'm taking great joy from there misery over there. A few samples for your perusal....

I am such a mess. Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.

I had no idea this would hit me so hard. I feel that all my hopes for the future have been shattered. Evil, hate and greed are rewarded. Wrong is Right. Fascism will prevail. Not to mention increased terrorism, hate crimes, isolation from the global community, loss of civil rights, etc.

AND, we have to look and listen to the f**king Chimp for another 4 long, miserable years. I don't know what to do. I am really beside myself and almost feel like I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown.I am sick to my stomach and I feel like I am going to have a heart attack.

I started smoking again, I can't bear the thought of going to work tomorrow, and I really don't have much hope at the moment. I can't eat, I've cocooned myself in my bed all day and have avoided every phone call. Oh - and I broke up with my boyfriend. You are not alone.

My heart feels like it's actually broken and I am afraid to leave the house because I am not in control of the rage I feel, and fear that the smallest thing will set me off.

I always thought that things were never quite as bad as they seemed, and that Americans were mostly good. But I think things have really turned... they are perhaps even worse than they seem, and perhaps the American empire is entering its terminal phase with a lot of pain and suffering ahead.

It feels an awful lot like what I imagine Berlin in 1938 was like.

I'm so venomous right now, I swear I'm growing fangs.

I have a background of depression (mostly from my days of living closeted) and am worried that the funk that I am dealing with might go long term. I cannot let that happen.

To that end, I am going to continue to devote a good chunk of time with a couple causes, to keep me going.

If things get really tough, get a really good friend or family member and just let go.

My son didn't want to go to school today

and face the jeers of his 6th grade classmates in our predominantly republican rural community. I bought him a donut at the local shop and reminded him that we still have to tell people that the war is wrong, that the poor need an advocate and that our planet is not their trashcan.

After pushed him out the door I had to give myself the same speech.

That sums things up beautifully

"we still have to tell people that the war is wrong, that the poor need an advocate and that our planet is not their trashcan."

Of course, unfortunately, the Pukes simply don't think these things are important. I just got off the phone with a dear friend who keeps insisting Iraq had something to do with 9/11 and if we "don't fight them over there we'll have to fight them here".

This is how Bush wants you to feel and he's hoping you'll go away, don't go away, in four years time USA will still be suffering from his policies, the economy and Iraq will still be great problem.

As I see it, whatever they say, it isn't a landslide, almost half the American people wanted a change, there were people who didn't vote, which is unforgivable, they may rue the day they didn't and will be there next time, in force.

I hope that we will get a chance in 4 yrs. I am angry, but not sure who to be mad at. I feel like Kerry played us and took one for the team (s and B)with no intention of ever winning. I don't know where to turn I told my friend to take pictures of the trees and all the open areas of beauty around us now because it won't be their for long. I fear for our troops and the kids that are going to be drafted. I applied for passports for my family today just in case I need. I think Democracy died yeasterday in America I never wanted to believe it could happen. There are protesters here in oregon tonight. I am still in shock. I don't like the mixed up feelings that I have because I have no way of seperating them all.

Don't mean to sound trite, but I share your pain.

I had an appointment with my counselor today, and she encouraged me to not look too far in the future and the terrible possibilities it holds.

I managed to calm down and try to focus on the things that bring me some small measure of contentment. It is very hard--the more I hear about Tuesday's fiascos and the evil people who made them happen, the angrier and more frustrated I get. This is producing physical symptoms similar to yours. It's up to me to get a handle on this, I know, but damn, it's hard. Like you, I cannot bear the thought of looking and listening to Bush for the next four years. I have determined I will NOT do that. Thank God for remote controls.

I wish I had the words to make you and me feel better about all this. But I do not. All I can think to do is resolve to do everything I can to stop the fascist juggernaut that is speeding toward us. I must try, for my children, grandchildren, and all of us who share this planet.

It irks me so much when the left states The Nationalist Socialist Worker Party is right wing. Hardly, And how thick can you get?

Maybe it's wishful thinking on their part but all I see is that they are embracing a nonsensical philosophy that will eventually fail.

[Californiajones]

Pod people have feelings, too, I guess. I feel bad for her kid being brainwashed with such commie jargon.

LOLOL! < /gloat>

You taught him to say this crap in the SIXTH grade?

If she did she might as well hang a sign on him that says, "I'm a wuss-beat me up"

[Fester Chugabrew]

No need to apologize. We had eight years of Slick Willie's drawling pomp. It's time for the idiots on the left to have the baby sitters they need.

"I'm so venomous right now, I swear I'm growing fangs."

Hehe. The fangs were always there, babe. God knows how many unborn children felt them.

The left better wake its ass up, and soon.

Here are some clips to cheer them up.

Councelors do a great job of reeling these people in and keeping them sick. It's a racket! They make big bucks "treating" them, and the drug companies get their cut with the prozac etc, 'scripts. If they made them well, they would stop going.

[wizardoz]

Isn't life grand? Almost no sleep in 48 hours because this smile on my face is keeping me awake.

I swear, I'm just in a quandry. Should I gloat, or taunt? Hm. Gloat. Taunt. Gloat. Taunt. I feel like Bill Murray in Caddyshack. Pool? Pond. Pool? Pond... hm....

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

I think somebody needs to look into getting that poor kid of his/her's away. Damage is being done.

I wouldn't worry too much. If you read between the lines little Johnny is getting some sense knocked into him by his peers at school. Neener neener neener Johnny's mommy is a liberal!

[Richard Kimball]

I had an appointment with my counselor today, and she encouraged me to not look too far in the future and the terrible possibilities it holds.

And one of them needs a new counselor

[Darkwolf377]

"If she did she might as well hang a sign on him that says, "I'm a wuss-beat me up"

LOL! No, she wouldn't want to waste the paper, which pollute's Gaia's world.

[TheLurkerX]

I thinks it's funny as hell that Zucker made that indecision commercial against Kerry.

[gidget7]

probably, but if this person broke up with their boyfriend, and the depression was back in the days being in the closet........this might be a male!

On the other hand:

Something quite remarkable has happened since yesterday. For half a year, I have had a visceral intolerance for certain TV programs. I mean I could not stand to have certain people or shows on my television tube for more than 1-1/2 seconds before furiously jabbing the clicker buttons to make them go away instantly.

But suddenly, today, November 3, 2004, everything has changed——besides the pound of nails in my stomach being gone.

For example, I've got Jon Stewart and his monkey business on right now——no sweat. He's actually kind of funny, now that his quips don't seem to threaten to replace the courageous, determined president with a duplicitous globalistic toady of France.

Know what I mean?

Just thought I'd share that.

[wizardoz]

Whenever liberals start referring to Nazis and other Fascists as "right wing," I try to point out that "right" and "left" could be anywhere, depending on which way you're facing, unlike "north" and "south."

But by the time I get that far, usually they have their eyes all squinted up and their mouths open and I can smell the burning rubber. I know the next words are going to be, "....Look, all I know is...." and then some rant about the Inquisition or something.

[jess35]

Before I finally lost my cool and was summarily removed from their forum this evening, I spent a couple of hours reveling in their grief. One ding-dong actually said she felt worse after Kerry's concession than she did when her father died.

[Californiajones]

You nailed it on the Nazis being left wing totalitarians.

When exactly does she have time to be "an advocate for the poor?" in between her counseling sessions, trips to the donut shop, boyfriend carousel, full time mom, taking meds, blogging on DU?

Oh yeah, she wants the GOVERNMENT to be her "advocate for the poor" -- she doesn't mean she wants to really do anything for anyone in a true spirit of sacrificial charity. Leftists are truly selfish and self absorbed -- wanting the slough off their moral responsibilities onto the State so the "rich" can pay for it.

Cute.

[AirForceMom]

I'm gloating.....I got an email from a life long liberal friend ( AFTER Kerry conceded) STILL spouting all of Kerry's "why we should hate Bush" talking points.

[Iceman99]

My thoughts exactly. I knew it would be fun, but didn't anticipate THIS much fun.

As a Christian, I'm not proud of enjoying other's misery. But these people are truely lost and evil. They are a threat to our freedom, more than the Islamic murderers.
