i kinda wish i could dm you to thank you for this, because i 1,000% donโ€™t wish to start a conversation with anyone else about what iโ€™m about to write, but i just want to say: i am also eating, weeping, spending, deleting social media, jewish, clutching my children for dear life because i am terrified that the nightmares of my childhood are actually coming true and we will be taken from our beds and exterminated, and also deeply hurt that this humanitarian crisis has been is so politicized from the outset. anyway, hope your day is great! ๐Ÿ˜‘

in all seriousness, thank you for writing. it helps. you help. and i know where to find $100 chapstick if you need.

As a clinical psychologist with the same training (not a therapist, but I am the child of a therapist), iโ€™ve shared this post with all of my patients (friends, family). it added a little light to these heavy, awful times. thank you for sharing your writing.
