and it's from a place I deal with often. I could throw out some philosophy or short meaningless colloquialisms which is nothing but ramblings and justifications for a situation that is so terrible it is hard to explain/express. something along the lines of cheer up, get a grip, move on, or so on.
But when I have tried to find a different mindset it is fragile.
I do like to find humor but while you are in "that place" it seems thin, and pointless, and I just go back to just trying to stay neutral and get myself nourishments and pedal around with what I have brought my life to.
Mainly though, I try to negotiate life onward with as little or as small of an impact possible.
Maybe what it is for me is depression as well, but I just go on with whatever it can be described or analyzed as, and go about my business and live day by day.

And to tell you the absolute truth this doomsday depressing feeling is politically related. The clowns in the white house have everything to do with it.
