I Need a Break

This is just a reassurance to my good friends here on SW...I am fine, and I will be back...hopefully in two or three days.

I need to take a breather. I've noticed a change in myself due to stress.

I don't think of myself as horribly stressed because my life is unusually calm for the most part...but I think my good friend being so close to death...and the months of pain from my hand and wrist, untreated because of Covid19...and now this internal threat to my country, which I love, by George Soros and Antifa... it's all too much, and I can't fix any of it.

I've noticed that I am getting very angry about politics, and that's normal...but now, instead of blocking people who are stupid or ignorant, I am becoming verbally abusive toward them. That's not me...and it's not who I want to be. I am even slipping in my language...and I want my language to be better than that of the ex from whom I learned every nasty word.

I am crying right now, listening to the news, hearing about a black retired police officer who was killed last night in Louisiana...shot dead point blank...77 years old, and about the evil people on social media who are celebrating his death.

There is just too much pain for me right now, and I need to take a few days and read, and cook, and get pissed off about other things...like the way women were so disrespected in the 1800's that their maiden names are never mentioned in ANY record...so their families are lost in the sands of time.

I just need to be myself for a day or two or three. I love my friends here, and those whose posts I normally visit...please don't worry about me. I will right myself. I'll be back soon, and then you will probably WISH I had been gone a bit longer...😂😂😂

[i][c=#BF0080]It’s been pretty crazy and I understand how you feel. I’ve been avoiding most social media lately and even news. It’s just too much and the fighting amongst so many.

Hope you’re feeling at least somewhat better ❤️ [/c][/i]

Damn, I bet this was hard to take in. I don't know you yet, but I don't blame you. This world is just so damaged in every way, despite the cleanups. And for the retired man, RIP...., but what I hate was how people in social media are happy that he's dead, all because he was black. Any black person would be pissed off about this, even for me. Yeah, it's best to relax for a few days or longer. You deserve a breather.

@xSiFiGamer2016x Thank you, you are a very good person. I don't know why the people in social media were applauding his death...it may have been because he was a police officer before he retired, and have nothing to do with his color...I just don't know...but awful...awful. Starting to tear up again...I can't even think of such things right now. Sorry.

@4meAndyou And you do have every right to express your emotions. I'm also thinking these people applause because they didn't die yet. Again, that's just my opinion, but it might make sense.

And thanks, you're a good person, too. If you need anything, even for a shoulder to cry on, there's always my inbox. ♥️👍

We all need to take some “personal days” here and there to heal and recoil .
I’m sorry you are going through so much .
Hope you are feeling better by now

@Niloo I am feeling a bit better...but I can't hear about the deaths right now...it is as though I was actually injured by it. I don't know...all of the above I guess.

I hear that you’re pretty stressed out and exhausted. Take as much of a break as you need.
