I am struggling to move past that disastrous UN speech given my the convicted sex offender/felon

The more I think about how the world is now perceiving us, the more it's triggering some very hard anxiety reactions.

It's like the inmates have been freed from the asylum and are now wreaking havoc and have zero accountability for the damage they are doing. I question if I can make it through to 2028. If we don't take back the Senate and House in 2026, I might just give up, I feel that discouraged, stressed and overwhelmed. I don't even watch the news but so many clips of that, and the insane rantings about Tylenol, are everywhere.

I do have a medication consult on Monday and I'm going to let her know I've lost almost all of the ground I'd gained. I wonder if I an get a prescription for an elephant tranquilizer.

Now I'm' going to feed the kid cats, take another dose of chill pill and then go to bed.

My only hope is that my best friend will be here on Oct 1. She's actually more like a sister. Well, she was my sister in law but she and my brother got divorced but we all managed to hold on to a strong, family relationship and we are even friends with her new husband. She's also a cat mom. She can also talk me 'off of the edge', so to speak.

Thanks for putting up with my screeds. I do try to keep the to a minimum.

(including how he left his suite of rooms)...

I will never be the same.

Deep breaths and hope we may be forgiven one day...

It is just that the rest of the freaking world does not want me to 'not fret about things I cannot change'!

Nor will it let me stop doing it!
