So, I am one TMS short of the final treatment that is going to happen tomorrow. They say it will have it's effects in 2 weeks time. I feel better, but from complex causes, mainly a supportive family.
Today I attended my very first protest and met the president of our party. On one hand it was a blast, I had old guys congratulating me showing up for the event and a young comrade approaching me to engage in a conversation. Not to mention the several positive comments and smiles I got for the pins I was wearing. On the other hand, I have hyper-empathy and I hated every second of people walking by and making comments and so on. There was even a dude spitting once towards the speaker. How do you guys process shit like this? The feeling was and still kinda is unbearable.
by people walking by and making comments you mean people from outside the protest, right?
Exactly. It's heartbreaking.
I feel you, comrade. That'll happen until the end of time, unfortunately. Bigots are everywhere. What I did is to occupy my mind with something else right after an encounter like that (that's how I got my monster energy addiction lol)
What is TMS?
