General Discussion

I think rage is totally normal under the circumstances. It's not normal to hide out and pretend everything's like it was. Wake Me When it's Over is not working--this is too big. At the same time, there has to be a balance. Deliberate breaks are necessary. Finding outlets for anger is necessary, especially physical outlets if static time outs like meditation are not working well. Being with like-minded people in solidarity also, especially since isolation and loneliness are huge problems in America. Thanks to the OP for speaking out about this. This simmering anger that's looking for an outlet is a problem many of us are having. Maybe go to a protest and yell rather than raging at the TV--or find some other form of political action? No, you don't bludgeon your family with it, but they should forgive an honest burst of outrage. And maybe even reach out to help?
