I am new here

16 Replies

I am new here and am a s/a victim/survivor.That being said, I have a hard time trusting people. Right now I am seriously struggling with this Trump election. I can't understand people betraying one another.

I don't understand how people are voting to dehumanizing women. To believe the lies of two proven and admitted liars. To honestly believe that this person who has vowed revenge on those that have talked against him. To have a woman see what it would feel like to have 9 guns pointed at her face. To round up immigrants by the millions on day one using military force.

To me, this hurts my soul and I have lost all faith in people. This has caused my depression and anxiety to be on overload. I don't know how to deal with it. My husband tells me I am being ridiculous, it is just politics. It's more than that. It is my trust and faith and understanding people. It does not compute.

Help!

Endlesstorment, would think you’d be more concerned with what the situation is like in Ethiopia. My next door neighbors are Ethiopian and we talk about his and his families stress over their family in Ethiopia not trump.

By the way please don’t post about politics and use hateful negative speech it’s triggering and explicitly forbidden here.

sorry your not doing well. You’re new, discussing politics is against guidelines here. find a way around it please.

Here's an extract from the guidelines , posted by HU support , as mentioned by litethatnevergoesout

As you are new, you might not be aware of them. There have been several occasions where arguments and upset have been caused by political posts.

I am aware a human can be concerned over more than a single issue, you are allowed to be condescending to me that’s fine. only, I wouldn’t say you were concerned you were passionately enraged.

let me share this with you, part of my conversations with my neighbor directly address the fact that nobody especially America, gets involved whatsoever in ethiopias affairs, it’s like Ethiopia doesn’t matter on the global scale of things and it is quite disheartening to see it vex my neighbor as it does. where in Ethiopia do you live I wonder.

I hear you. It's not just politics, because the environments we are in affect our wellbeing. We are interconnected with what is going on in the world. I am the daughter of a Holocaust survivor and it's disturbing for me to see historical patterns repeating themselves.

Oh wow. I am so sorry for what you have gone through.I have been laughed at so many times when I try to tell people he is planting the same seeds Hitler did. This is such an alarming vindication.
