Lately, I’ve just felt exhausted.  Not physically, but emotionally.  I hate politics and I hate being anywhere near a conversation.  I hate listening to all these things going on and having no power to stop it.  All I can do is just watch it crumble around me.  I hate when feeling angry and getting into debates, only to leave feeling guilty no matter how the outcome ended up.  Today, I almost had an anxiety attack about it.

People tell me all the time that it won’t affect me that badly and the amount of fear and anxiety I’m having shouldn’t be as high.  And I believe them, but I can’t silence that constant anxiety.  

I just want to go home, curl up in a ball, and just wait for things to slow down, but I have a life to live, a job to work, and people to talk to.  I can’t even avoid political conversations no matter how hard I try and I panic every time.

I just wish things would calm down.  Just PLEASE.
