I want to allow myself to feel sad about something; but I can’t because Trump is destroying everything. A lot of people are dying and suffering. I am very grateful for my privilege and my life. But I feel like I’m not allowed to feel my feelings

Sometimes we forget a very simple fact. We were not designed to know all the information that we know. It’s impossible to care about everything we hear, even though we are encouraged to. The problem with caring about everything is very often, that reduces the amount you can care for yourself. And when the thing you care about is as distant as anything coming from the international news, your focus on yourself becomes just as distant. You are allowed to feel bad, that’s what makes you human.
