I've gained about 40-50 pounds since Trump... the sheer horrors I come across in my research are something I can't control, and I seek not just consolation, distraction + control over food, but a subconscious defensive need to be a "two" - so I'm less likely to be a target.

And it's more a fear that if I were a target, whoever was on the other side would incur not just the wrath they deserve, but a displaced rage at Trump, Epstein, Hastert, & others yet to be named.

I'm not a violent person, but with PTSD, you never know if you're triggered...

I'm looking forward to justice - and the threat of justice - to be served as a deterrent to all predators, so I can go back to being healthy without fear of being driven to avenge all those wrongs against one single individual.

p.s. I'm very short, and when I'm thin, I often get mistaken for a 12-14yo girl. You don't want to know what I've heard 'men' say before I correct that perception.

p.p.s. I'm totally with @AthenaOfChicken on the two bowls of Cap'n crunch thing. 🤣
