The fact that most ppl don’t constantly think about politics, history and current events is crazy to me. Like what do you think/talk about

Literally anything else. If I think about it too often, I’m gonna put myself in a mental hospital. I take an hour once a week to catch myself up and spiral and then I have to push it to the back of my mind.

At least your staying informed. That’s half the battle.

Hey I get it as someone with ocd and ptsd. Honestly once I stopped hyper focusing on American electoral politics, my mind finds a lot of comfort, hope and peace in learning about historical struggle and what they’ve overcome to succeed in their goals. I focus mostly on global politics and a broader strategy of defeating capitalism. I spend a lot of time fantasizing what global socialism would like and it brings me hope. Especially when I learn more & more about successful socialist projects

It’s all I can do at the moment. But I can’t let something I can’t control consume me. It would most likely trigger either a depressive episode or a manic episode.

I do have Autism and Loud crowded places aren’t really something I can handle at this point in my life. I’m working on it though. So hopefully someday

Yeah it’s something I got used to over time as I continued with protests. I do get freaked out and start crying when the cops come to break them up which led to me being arrested sadly 😭 💔
