This is very, very helpful. Thank you so much for your clarity of mind. I have not been able to stomach "news" since even before Nov. 5, and I allowed myself to be in my feelings at one point about a week after. I was indeed screaming and shrieking, inconsolable. My poor husband and our dog had to leave the house. I am not usually like that, preferring to breathe/pray/make something in order to avoid re-wounding myself. But this is current fucking trauma happening right fucking now, and I do not fucking consent.
Anna I really appreciate this reply. Thank you. As you can see I'm quite sleepless right now with the horror and madness of it all. It seems totally accurate to me.
I have been screaming since Biden started funding and supporting a genocide and it’s hard to stomach that things are going to get even worse. I am hoarse from screaming, my face is burned from crying and my brain exploding from all the gaslighting. So I turned it all off. I knit, I walk, I write, I cook. My going mad will not change things any more than leaving food on my plate will make a difference to starving people. You said it best, now is the time to crawl under a rock. I do so without shame but I still won’t buy Israeli goods.
Thank you for this.
You're so welcome.
