Mental Health Support

- if I live that long - if the MAGA* mentality or the MAGA-caused destruction continues to hold sway that long.

I try to limit my news consumption, with mixed results.

I am trying to get as much sleep as I can.

I work full time at a decent paying job. I am not old enough for SS yet but approaching it. I am worried that it will be whisked away from me. I do have retirement accounts but who knows what will happen to them in the markets, and that is a whole other set of stressors. Then my own mental health issues make me pretty phenomenal at thinking of all the ways what I have could be stolen from me, and others like me, by this regime.

My job has its own stressors - huge ones - and 90% of those I put on the fact that I have difficulty understanding most of the people I am required to work with, thanks partly to at least borderline Asperger's , combined with a so-called (but not) "high-skilled" visa program that favors hiring non-Americans over Americans, for the last 20 or so years, and particularly in my skill area. My company is twisting and turning to hire these folks over Americans. Democrats have not cared about this issue; and this is one promise that TSF has already announced he will break. With Eloon running the show - he wants to hire MORE by visa - my situation at work will only get worse - possibly much worse. The only thing I can think to do, is prepare myself for lay off (they will replace me with someone cheaper who is less than half as qualified or knowledgeable as I am). Then I will be relying on the social safety net that the GFP is hell-bent on destroying.

Last year I gave up booze and any thoughts of using marijuana, with or without a card, for other health reasons. The healthcare network I've been using is crumbling due to the private equity scam, and even in my supposedly well-off suburb it is now hard to have reliable health care.

Sorry, didn't mean to make it about me, but really, when I put it that way my own situation looks bad, and I know it is maybe only 1/10th as bad as it is for many others, such as yourself.
