i am so happy i'm not racist.

I'm not sure what you're trying to get across with this post besides the fact that everyone knows: Racism is still around and that it is bad and stupid.

But I hope it was ventful.

Now that the largest mid term election is over - what's next?

They have mentioned casually on local news reports that andrew cuomo and kirsten gillebrand "have been mentioned" as possible candidates. Does that mean they'll run? I don't know. Also being that im in new york im sure people in different states hear the same thing about their state politicians.

I think despite everything, the way these work is the bigger the name, the easier the win. Hilary has said she's done so if the democrats want to seriously challenge trump they need someone with a name thats just as recognizable. I dont think there is anyone.

They should experiment with what's been working for the republicans and try television personalities. Dress them up in a nice suit and teach them basic phrases and let them go.

We've got 8 years of Trump. Hold on to your butts. No wars or walls yet tho, and the ACA is still law, so he's doing a hell of a lot better than a lot of people thought.

anyone fluent in spanish?

Based on my experiences with german and italian (im only intermediate level with those) this can be more or less true. Depends on the language and context.

Italian is a language where its easy to contract groups of two or three words into one, and like most languages that are more inflected than english (spanish included) you can almost always omit the nominitive pronoun (i,he,she,you,they,it,we).

If engkish is his second language, it may be he's not as versed in the idioms enough to take the shortcuts in language that we all routinely take, so it appears to him that english is clunkier than spanish.

On the whole, though, he's probably right, but it depends. Some things are easier in a certain language than others. Non ideal example off the top of my head: "matter of taste" in english versus "Geschmacksache" in german. Both mean the same thing.

I’ve been off my anxiety medicine for awhile now since I lost my health insurance a few months ago.

I think he feels like it’s an excuse too sometimes. I’m used to pushing aside my stress and anxiety and barreling through it and pretending like everything is fine until I’ve held everything in for so long that I blow up and am told that I’m “being crazy.” I for sure am usually being crazy at that moment but its hard to get off the crazy train for a few hours once I’m on it.

And then I’m back to holding it all in again.

Lano, maybe I’m just crazy. 😕

Blowing up isn't the end of the world, and we're all a little crazy so there's a degree to which the people who love you just need to adjust to your crazy and apologize on your behalf to the people who don't love you for the embarrassment.

Again, this happened to my girlfriend a few weeks ago, she put herself in an uncomfortable situation (sticking it out for a friend of hers) and reacted to it and I was like, sweetie, you need to calm down, and we ended up going for a ten minute walk so that she could cool off.

I told her, hey, you need to just tell your friend that you can't do something if you're not up for it, don't put yourself in that situation, and don't feel bad that you reacted badly under pressure, it happens.

You can just tell him that until you get back on your medication it might be tough for you to be as social as you used to be. Communication is key. It could be that he's not realizing how hard it is for you right now so when he wants to go out and have fun with you and you say no, it feels kinda fresh and confusing to him, even though it is same-****shit-different-day to you. Like if that day is a particularly anxious day, just let him know as soon as you feel it so he knows how to adjust, or so that you can talk to him about it.

I really didn’t think about it that way at all. That does make me feel better. Husband doesn’t have anxiety at all, he’s pretty much the most laid back person ever, so he doesn’t understand it.

It's hard because a lot of people don't think about the mental health dynamic of wellness and they think you're making an excuse or something. Sometimes it helps the change the language to something they can relate too. someone asked me recently why I ddin't show up to a social meet up for a while, and the reason was my anxiety, but I said "I just needed a break for a little bit." People don't always understand mental health lingo but if you say stuff like "I'm just really tired." or something similar they can relate more.

In any case if you have regular anxiety bad enough that you are taking medication for it, I'm surprised your husband doesn't empathize more. It can be tough, my own girlfriend has issues where she gets really physically tired and she thinks it may be related to some of her mental health issues. But there have been a few times where I felt like she was using it as an excuse to avoid me or something, my own insecurity creeping up.
