Reply #24: I've done the same thing about consciously separating myself from my anger [View All]

After the 2004 elections I realized I couldn't live with that much rage anymore. It was so extreme that I had to stop watching the msm. I had to 'take a deep breath' and get my emotions under control, so I understand why so many people seem to overreact to what Obama isn't doing.

But what you say about going out into the community makes sense. I've seen many people who are the worst off are doing the same thing. The community has much to gain from such volunteers and is gaining much right now because of it. You benefit many with your activities.

I'm still holding down two part time jobs while taking care of my mother who has dementia. I hope I can at least continue at this level. If not then I'll have to deal with it as it comes. Rage only gets in the way of survival, especially creative survival like yours
