Glad I'm not alone.

Having loads of friends, family and professional associates on both sides of the aisle I often feel like I’m living in 2 worlds. I’ve often felt hated by both sides the last 4 years(ish) to 8(ish). But maybe they just needed to be heard?

Maybe they feel like they ‘got through’ by unloading on me: that (possibly the only) odd person in their life they are close to that does hang out with both sides.

It is hard for me to hold ‘all that’.

I know both sides fear the other.

I know I only have one answer…

As selfish as this sounds, considering how previous negative climate news made me feel, in light of the election results, I need to get my own mental health in order before I do anything else, climate action-related or not. Right now, I’m in a state where if I even think about recent events, I’ll likely become a danger to myself or others.

I can’t take care of others if I can’t even take care of myself.

Very important to point that out Phil, that to be of any service of others we really need to tend to our own wellbeing adequately first. It's a foundation of making climate action personally sustainable too. Sending much care.
