It seems,

This group is fairly active right now, I, also feel like crap lately. I’m just wondering if there is something,( climate change, super moons, etc) that have us all so down?
I just offer a group hug, and when we talk tomorrow, we won yesterday.

along with GQP's constant shenanigans, TFG, GQP's shenanigans about that, Hunter Biden, GPQ's shenanigans about that, trying to impeach President Biden... notice a pattern? I am really afraid for the country and for the world right now. Feeling helpless and exhausted.

I'm also sad for your situation.

They’re projecting weakness, and by damning others, they isolate themselves from a world of support and true friendship.

In response to the OP, the heat confines us to the house and air conditioning. We all have cabin fever except when it’s cool in the mornings and evenings and we can get out. I think I get less vitamin D in the summer than any other season (and exercise).

In this positive world *we* live in (and which others deny) there’s friendship and compassion.

In summer I'm like a recluse. I stay indoors with my fan an old air conditioner. The blinds are closed, light equals heat. The hot summer months cause me to feel physically sick, depressed, anxious, and agitated, all in all un-well. It's survival for me.

Take care of what you have to take care of yourself, your daughter, drink water, eat good food and don't beat yourself up, seek calm and quiet comfort. You deserve it, and you are amazing.

The days are getting shorter and we will all, everywhere feel and see some relief.

There is so much stressful stuff going on you can only do what you can at home. Peace.
