Just Another day in Shitler's America [View all]

I find it increasingly hard to get out of bed each day. I had the flu over Christmas and I still feel what my husband describes as "wimbly", so maybe that contributes to it, but I think 90% of it is pure depression. I just don't want to get up and face another day in this country. I don't want to look at what the orange asshole has done now. If I were younger I'd try to move somewhere else, maybe, but I'm too old now. I'm sad that I didn't go to Canada when I was in my 20s, no matter how cold it is there. Of I could have gone somewhere in the Caribbean, or even Mexico. Anywhere but here. I just don't want to be here any more, and each day I feel increasingly hopeless. If I could see an end to this, I might feel better, but I can't.
