How to cope with Trump Era Depression - GMDino - 02-11-2020 I'm sure will be met by the hue and cry of "go find your safe place" and "snowflakes" by some, but it is a pretty good representation of what Trump is and how best to deal with him constantly being in the center of the room with his minions screaming around him. https://kirschnerskorner.com/2020/02/02/trump-anxiety-disorder/?fbclid=IwAR0dHum4EZ3jpV0J9-xXw7PAAYqZKFsbLlnW2NQfO4ZQM7UBzCHRJxwil7w Quote:If you care about animals, people, and the planet, you’ve likely battled feelings of depression during the Trump presidency. His cruelty, immaturity, lying, law-breaking, and harmful policies invade our daily routines and shock us every day. Every headline makes our heart race, and we feel sick that he remains in office. And mind you I feel as if this is written for those who already have some of the anxiety/depression issues that are made worse by the thing in the WH and his behavior. RE: How to cope with Trump Era Depression - HarleyDog - 02-11-2020 The POV of the article is sad, but also creates and supports the depression it suggests how to cope, i.e. "I know you hate pie in the face, but let me add diesel fuel and hot sauce to this pie and see if its better.... SPLAT." I definitely agree with limiting yourself to social media. SM (good acronym for it) is brutal because the country is so divided on the POTUS. I think, if I wanted to, I could totally rewrite this article to swing the other way. However, there's really no reason to do so. Trump may not represent all the American people, but he represents many, which is the case for all president before, and those that will follow. Why would you be concerned about name calling? I don't recall anyone who debated topics with you or others name calling that wasn't dealt with accordingly by mods or admins. I think supporters from both sides have sustained a sense of (not sure the word I'm looking for but want to say zombi-ism (not Rob) but the definition of zombism does not work here ![]() RE: How to cope with Trump Era Depression - michaelsean - 02-12-2020 Snowflakes. ![]() I hope Dino is correct and this is directed at people who already have issues with anxiety/depression. I think they would have to already have had issues to get to the point the author is describing.

But I know a few people who have gone overboard with their reaction to the conman, crook that is in the Oval Office right now.

Also seems to be targeting a very specific group with things like, " Plant-based food companies are breaking new ground". i know a fair amount of Democrats and I can't imagine any of them care much one way or the other about that. BTW...I was thinking about getting one of those incredible Whopper things because I've been losing weight and don't eat fast food much anymore and I thought well if it's close. It has a whopping 60 fewer calories than a Whopper.

They are just there as a way to try to get us less dependent on animal-based proteins. Which, whatever, but they aren't as good. Not saying I don't like any of them, but they aren't fooling anyone and they aren't health foods.

Yea I was surprised to see an impossible whopper is basically the same amount of calories as a whopper. Taste wise though it wasn't bad, maybe a little dry but not bad.

Yeah I'm out. Give me something close with half the calories, and I'm in. Of course with a Whopper a lot of calories are coming from the rest of it, so my dream is dead. I wonder if fast food places can make plant based fries. ![]() RE: How to cope with Trump Era Depression - GMDino - 02-12-2020 (02-12-2020, 01:49 PM)michaelsean Wrote: Yeah I'm out.

As an affirmed carnivore I still like those. ![]() RE: How to cope with Trump Era Depression - michaelsean - 02-12-2020 (02-12-2020, 02:24 PM)GMDino Wrote: The vegetable straws are good.

Only thing that would drive me to seeking "professional help" would be Donald becoming a Steeler fan and helping them win a couple of more Super Bowls while he is in office. RE: How to cope with Trump Era Depression - Belsnickel - 02-12-2020 I personally have anxiety/depression issues. Maybe it's just coincidental that I started taking medication for them again after a decade of no meds during this administration. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Personally, I'm more anxious about the overall situation and not Trump specifically. If the GOP wanted to, they could rein him in. This problem is way beyond just Trump. So what do I do? I fish, I go hiking with my dog, and I ***** about things on the internet. I have avoided most political social media, though.

On the flip side, the Steelers could end up filing for bankruptcy shortly after he takes them over.

Yeah, the impossible burger is only like 5 calories less per ounce and in exchange you get... less protein, more saturated fat, and WAY more sodium. Also costs a good amount more. I'll stick with beef. I don't need to read it's ingredient label because I have it memorized: beef. (02-12-2020, 07:08 PM)Mike M (the other one) Wrote: But!!!!
