Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our wings are not tired.
{{WindSparrow}} FWIW, I also signed up for Red2Blue and although I am sure I was following the directions never managed to get texting. I didn't get too bummed about it when I saw the vast numbers of successful volunteers. Also, I have received about 10 texts myself from various organizations, so I feel good about the GOTV efforts in general. Also, you do so much for so many. All of us here have been comforted by you so many times. Take care of yourself and know that loving thoughts are being sent your way.
The Pittsburgh mayor is reminding me why I loved living in Pgh so much. The only place where I couldn't see the ocean that I would consider living in again. My heart breaks for them. eta: and at the same time I know they will come together as a community to comfort each other.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
WS, do what you can. If what you can do is take care of yourself, that's the most important thing. I'm at the point of waiting to see how the midterms turn out, and if my anxiety doesn't go down, I'm off to my psych for more meds. Which I kind of hate, because I've been relatively stable for a long while, and this makes me feel like a failure. But I'm damn well going to need it for another two horrible years.

Thrive to spite them
WS you have to take care of your self first. Like the instructions for airplane oxygen masks...get yourself secured and then help others.
Also what you do every day for this in your care is amazing. You bring so much joy and light to the world.
I haven't done anything for get out the vote. Except bug Matthew about voting.

{{{WS}}} What everyone else said.
msbelle's advice also made my allergies act up.

Good luck Shir! That's a very long time to be there, I hope it all goes well.
So depressed by this week in this country. So much violence and hatred.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Shir, that is a tough job but it is so important.
I... am recognizing this urge to say "stop being kind and understanding to me!" as a symptom of the anxiety. In a better time I may be able to chalk it up as a victory.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
It's absolutely a victory, WS. It means you can take a step back and realize that what your anxiety is telling you isn't necessarily the truth.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
That is a huge victory, WS! You most definitely deserve kindness and understanding.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
