feeling upset

[brainwane]

I feel upset about the riot in DC yesterday. I am struggling to find words for how upset I am.

They defiled my temple.

They damaged and compromised physical things, which will have to be replaced and repaired, and who's going to have to pay for that? Me, the taxpayer.

Also, a bunch of people will catch COVID-19 from this. More waste, more death.

I'm underslept, and I'm perhaps still too shocked to be truly as angry and sad as I am going to be.

Yesterday I was dazed and couldn't concentrate. There is a lump of sorry in my stomach. I want to cry, but for some reason it's harder to access than my rage.

I posted about my mental state on Facebook and a lot of folks replied to say they felt the same way too.
