In the past week or so, has anyone else noticed this? Not that I blame anyone for feeling exhausted of course, it's just an observation. Have you noticed anything different in your interactions with people?

With the recent Roe v Wade events, I can really see how much this is affecting people mentally. Just in my regular interactions with some people. One friend of mine said she's feeling exhausted and drained, and a lot of people just seem very low energy this week. I stream on Twitch, and I've noticed that a lot of my streamer friends have been cancelling this week and even when I go to visit their streams, they don't seem as energetic as usual. Their whole attitude is just "...meh"

I don't blame anyone for feeling the way they do about what's been going on (I definitely feel the same way). Heck, I played some Final Fantasy 6 the other day because I felt like I was falling into a hole of doom-scrolling and not being able to get out of it.

I guess all this is just a reminder is that no one is alone in feeling the way they've been about the current Roe v Wade situation. Like seriously, it's a situation that's getting to everyone, and it feels like the world is completely shook. And with so much that's happened in the past few years (pandemic, Easter Europe, and now this), this might be the breaking point for a lot of people.

I really hope that particular weekend was the absolute worst of it all (I'm probably being way too optimistic, though). I hope everyone is doing alright and taking care of their mental health this week. The world needs a fucking break, and that's all I can say.
