(52,746 posts)17. I am seeing the same thing. When I saw the Meta threads, I thought it seemed like just
an extension of what I am seeing all around me today.
There seem to be three themes: first people flying off the handle in ways that are characteristic but taken to a new extreme, second people feeling overwhelmed by their responsibilities to people they have to care for, third people feeling a loss of control and lashing out verbally at innocent bystanders.
I am seeing this on all fronts. It feels more fundamental than a lunar phase.
Thanks to Ricochet for the suggestions on how to proceed though. They are actually very appropriate for how to deal with what I'm experiencing personally these days.
