Nov 17

What I find most frustrating about this Trump-triggered depression (my own, not America’s) is there is no link between what I’m experiencing and what I’m feeling. Yesterday I spent the morning volunteering at an abortion clinic, and the evening watching movies with family. And today I’m obsessing over isolation and claustrophobia. Knowing the causes, internal and external, is moderately helpful. Wish it was a cure.
