I highly suggest some of you start prioritizing self care

[timeless]

Jeez. Post some

Just go to YouTube and type in something about Liberals or Democrats on the election. Whole 20 minute videos of these folks acting and talking crazy in front of the camera. I'm more disappointed in black women, because they really decided to get online today and throw black men under the bus.

You are absolutely right. The sad part is, what you're saying is basic self-care everybody should have been doing regardless who was in office. Every election shouldn't be forcing people to have such meltdowns. I was on YouTube and the amount of people going 0-100 over this election is sad AF. Black women cutting off black men. White women crying til they're red in the face. It's a damn mess on social media.

Your right. I learned to make all that shyt a priority 8 years ago when I was going thru a divorce. And I’m better off mentally for it. While I wasn’t happy with the results of the election I’m at peace with it. I don’t let anything fukk with my peace anymore

COL and children render that unlikely to impossible.

Nothing is impossible, but if you feel like this election has cost you your self agency then I understand.

 

[Kasper KArr]

I concur.

Dope thread, especially coming from an OG @BmoreGorilla

Bihs will want to get dikked down by the weekend. THey'll get over by the middle of the month when they need $$$

I'm not a man, but I wouldn't risk my in some bitter and angry and resentful . Transferences of energy are real.

You don’t have children and self care can be free. So what’s the excuse?

Just looking at the first page of TLR and as to be expected it’s filled with threads about the election. I get that most of us didn’t get the results we wanted but it is what it is now

How do we move forward? Worry about the shyt that you can control. That’s your physical, emotional, and mental health. Stressing about this shyt is only gonna lead to health issues. And we already know as black folks we are more susceptible to certain ones. Get some therapy. Exercise. Read some books. Get massages. Play video games. Watch tv. Travel. Make money. Do whatever it is that you enjoy doing that releases stress

I know it’s gonna be tough to do but consuming all this negative shyt aint doing you no favors

Talk to em Unc.

All we can do is look out for our families, our friends and try and soldier on. We've survived dark times. We can survive this. America has spoken just have to pivot and adjust as best as we can.

Emotional answer. I'm probably more privileged in that regard than 90+% of people. Most the bolded requires time and resources that people do not have, but you know that already.

That's great that you're privileged. I hope you are currently using your abilities to help people who are underprivileged by donating time and resources so that they can be on your level.

First, most of the list is not free.

Second, I work a job where I have to be present at the crack of dawn and don't necessarily know when I leave, a "half day" is 9 hours and still cutting my money in half.

Third, I'm not speaking for myself, but for Americans at large.

Y'all have to stop making personal attacks and assumptions when challenged on a concept.

I'm privileged in regards to not having children occupy my time, not having a truckload of resources.

Stop making this a personal argument.

Yea. That’s why I told myself I was taking a vacay right after the election. I told my uncle I wasn’t going to deal with the white ppl in my office gaslighting me the next day

Stay in the gym, make more money, strengthen healthy connections… that’s all we can do now.

Best way to get through what you believe will be hard times is to focus on your mental, physical, emotional (and financial) health.

All these ppl breaking down on camera look crazy — although I suspect many are definitely doing it because that YT, Tiktok check gonna be nice
