Don't allow this to happen to you. Easier said than done, right? I know it is. But you absolutely must get your shit together and do whatever you need to do to survive.

If your doctor isn't helping you, you must find someone else. Keep looking until you do. The sad reality that we live in today is that we must all advocate for our own care. Sometimes doctors get arrogant and don't know that they can be wrong. Get a second opinion. Get a third one.

Find something besides Trump to occupy your mind and soul. For me, it's animal rescue. But each person has to find what works for them. It's not enough to just try to ignore Trump and his destruction; you have to fill your thoughts with something ELSE to occupy that space in your brain.

Am I an asshole for saying this to you? Maybe... But I sincerely want my fellow Democrats who are hurting and suffering to get better. I have my own selfish motive for that. Because I know that each one of us plays a role and is vital to us ALL surviving this. We must outnumber the assholes and out shout them. We must be louder and stronger and longer! Each one of us plays a role. Even if you are not out there protesting and writing your representatives, you still don't know how each and every interaction you have with someone may make an impression on them and cause ONE MORE PERSON to come over to our side.

So, please - for the sake of all of the rest of us - get your shit together and survive out of spite for the assholes if for nothing else. We need you. We need every single person who understands that Trump is trying to take our very lives from us. We will all survive if we stick together.

End of rant - and I sincerely and genuinely wish you all the very best.
