A Note From a Terrified American

Dear anyone,

I’m scared of what the US is becoming. Everyday it seems like things only get worse. People are dying, people are starving, people are being shipped off to who knows where. And I don’t know what to do anymore. Do i leave? Ignore it? Rise against it? I’m so frightened. My heart beats out of my chest realizing that things are going downhill so fast.

I’m so scared and I don’t know what to do. I just need support.

@AnAlivePerson What helps me is learning as much as I can about resistance and people who resist against this stuff. Look into mutual aid projects like food not bombs, which can help get you in community with others who oppose this stuff. Wishing you well, we live in a time where we can see all the horrors of the world with a few clicks. Be kind to yourself <3

@AnAlivePerson anytime you feel like this just remember you still have a better life than people living in third world countries

It's very hard to see what's going on , I'm from a country where we don't have any fighting ever, so I can't imagine how difficult this is for you to process, but I'm sending you my best 💚

I think turning off the social media and even some " news" biased items that seem to be only trying to try to cause anxiety and fear.  It is hard especially on those who have anxiety or fear anyway.   

What do you want to do?       Break down and study the issue not taking others fears as your own or doing things others wish you to do. 

If it is leaving to another country, have you looked into that?   There are many steps / things to do to apply to move somewhere.  It is not just going.  most places want you to have a place to live and a job or enough money to support yourself.
