I'm in a ****ed up place today. I have gun issues and I didn't sleep last night.
I'm avoiding news, especially that news.

2. Just keep grounding yourself
(Pay attention to where you are - what's around you, physically).
Keep focused on this moment (and by all means don't watch the news). Just pay special attention to everything around you right now (what you are eating, textures, sounds). Do things that require your attention to this moment.

3. I've been sitting here with fingers
Poised above the keyboard, trying to find words to give you. You're not alone, I found myself thinking when I heard this latest massacre, "I wonder if the victims vote to keep people like this in weapons". That was a cold , cruel, heartless thought. I'm finding my compassion waning. And that is so not the person I am.
I cancelled my satellite tv in 2015 when I moved to a different state, my life has been better and I encourage you to do the same.

4. You're not alone.
I often have to avoid the news these days, especially right now, makes me more anxious than I can take.

5. My dear hunter...
Avoiding the news is a good idea, and there are other good ideas here too.
You might try taking a low dose of Melatonin (3 mg.) about an hour before you want to sleep. It can help disconnect you from your thinking self. It's over the counter, too.
I use it regularly and it helps.

...........
Me too I have gun issues, can't decide, should I get a 270 Winchester bolt action rifle or another handgun?
It's really bad, maybe I should just get both?

My gun issues are just as bad. Should I get a SIG P290RS in .380 (I've got two .380s already but neither are a P290RS), 9mm, or should I just put the money down on a Glock 27? Hell, should I put the money down on a SIG P250 or a SIG P320? :confused:

Wow, Lets all have a pity party. :bawl: :bawl: :bawl: :bawl: :bawl:

Do you have a Sig P220 yet? If not that is an absolute dream to shoot, accurate and reliable. It is my daily carry in the winter.

Looked at your forum name recently? Or - HORRORS! - do you need to consider a legal name change?

No Vested Interest (3,834 posts)
7. Not to minimize the horrific happening, but news programs and cable shows go over the same info
again and again, without adding anything new.
Monday night I was so relieved to find some alternative programming on Public TV. - a great relief and needed change.
Among them: Antiques Roadshow, and a POV film about autistic youth who find success in competitive swimming, earning medals at Special Olympics meets in their state.
Sounds like a blast.

Sounds like a bunch of DUmmies need to get off their ass and get to work. No better elixir for the soul than working.
Wait...who am I kidding?

That's what I've always said, in light of that there's so many primitives riding first class on the disability gravy train because of "depression."
There's no need for counseling or for mood-altering drugs if one's depressed.
The best cure for depression is working for a living.

Lurking liberal friends
There is no way out. Life will continue to be increasing misery for you. If the selection of 2 more conservative SCOTUS judges, ensuring conservative principles will win in your favorite voting booth -- the courts, the re-election of Donald Trump followed by the 2 terms of President Pence will ensure the next 16 years will be intolerable for your sensitive predilections.
It will be physical pain, day in, day out. Every night you will go to bed asking "how can it get any worse?" and every morning you will wake up with the knowledge that, for you, it got worse. Personal liberty will expand, trampling your attempts at fascist rule. The rich will get richer and keep more of their hard-earned wealth.
There is no out for you. None at all.
Give up and check out.
Remember, go N/S with the razor blade, not E/W! If you use a building please make sure it is clear below. A high bridge over a river is less risky for innocents but watch out for boats. Don't use a car since it is all but impossible to limit the damage. As for guns, well, we know...
If these methods fail to end it all for you, please check back -- you can set up a one time ID and we will help your final exit.
Conservatives care.

I guess it's a good thing most primitives live in Mommy's basement. Since they're having such a hard time dealing with reality, they can just hide down there. :mental:

Black or red.
Avoid the white or green ones
If you have both black and red,. BINGO!!!
