27. +1000. And the shaming of those who are scared

Wed Nov 13, 2024, 12:40 AM

Nov 13

A couple of days ago a DU’er posted a sort of “stop panicking, the sun will rise tomorrow, we will all have food to eat tomorrow” etc post.

Really? I lost my oldest son to suicide during the COVID years. The posts on my SOS (Survivors of Suicide Loss) support groups have skyrocketed since Trump’s re-election. This is hitting people HARD!!

It’s not about “the sun will rise tomorrow”, the sun has risen every morning since my son died and that doesn’t make it all a-ok. I have all the food in the world to eat, but it sticks in my throat and tastes like dirt.

This IS a big deal to many. In fact, it’s life or death for some. Don’t minimize those who are traumatized by this as “catastrophizing”. This IS a catastrophe for many, and some are barely hanging on. I know I am.
