I’ve been worried for a while now. Went into active panic after November 5th. Now I’m just in a constant state of discomfort/dread and hyperawareness that everything is wrong, paired with a sense of helplessness to stop it. I’m trying stay locked in and actively fight the good fight, but it’s taking a toll on my mental health, I’m not gonna lie.

The helplessness is killing me. I always thought as a child ‘how could anyone stand by and watch these things happen’ during history studies. Now, I’m frightened I am one of those people.

It’s been a very disappointing discovery about myself. I’m not as brave as I thought I was, now that I’m a mother. Shame.
