I was active and involved before this happened and it has taken a toll on me and my household that I cannot even begin to sum up. I am still donating to organizations that I think will help. I am still offering my time to those around me. I am still being loud and obnoxious, but I am tired. It has only been a week and we are already in this place.



How am I coping? I am not watching any video of him. I choose to read the transcripts after the fact. For some reason it doesn't immediately make me anxious and angry like I do watching him speak. I have been hitting the gym harder than I had been. Wearing out the body so the mind isn't loud enough to keep me up at night has helped tremendously. I've been playing comfort games, SMG2 right now, to kind of take my mind off things when I have time. I have trimmed my social media presence to a post a day if any at all and have opted not to have a second screen going when I am spending time with my wife or other people I love.
