My heart goes out to you. In the name of Jesus I pray that the Lord gives you the strength to get through this critical time. I myself suffered panic attacks due to anxiety and depression; but the Lord gave me the strength to grab myself by my boot heels and pull myself out of it. I kept telling myself that "I was me once, and I will be me again." I still have an anxiety attack on occasion; but they are few and far between, maybe once a year. But I recognize it as I feel it coming on and then the Lord helps me find something to do and it isn't full blown. I will continue to pray for you and your predicament. The Lord is very good and I know he will intervene and lift you out of these circumstances. I pray God's many blessings upon you. Again, In Jesus precious name. Amen.

Same here, pede. I live in a free state and the fact that people wear the diapers on their faces at all is horribly depressing. I can't wait for this crap to be over. We've just gotta hang in there.

You're not alone. As others said, they want people depressed. Keep holding on.

Depending where you are, try heading to a mask-free church: Grace Community Church in Sun Valley or Calvary Chapel in Chino Hills both stayed open all last year, never masking. (And some serious preaching from John MacArthur lately). It's wonderful just to see all the fear-free people full of faith. The beach is good too, as almost nobody wears a mask now.

I live a deep blue state but in a suburb about 20 min away from the nearest libtard city. I haven't put a mask on in more than a week. At the grocery store I'm seeing about 20 percent masked people. I've never worn a mask outside.

Have you considered moving away from the city?

Also, perhaps you can get a job where you can work remotely from home?

Right along with you. Located in LA County and the population of sheep here is astounding.

Went to my dentist yesterday and the first question he and the staff asked, "You got vaccinated, right?" I responded to them saying "I'm as healthy an a person can be and immune to all the crap going on!"

Had to repeat that 3x's because they kept asking. Then, 30 minutes into the treatment he asked me again... knowing my response would be "hell no!" He finally stopped asking and continued.

Anyone thinking about moving to Commifornia, it is not worth giving up freedom. This state is Red but bleeds blue... for now. Until the fraudulent election crimes are exposed.

Carlsbad here. Where do you live?

I'm not well-networked but perhaps I can help.

Remember, the masks feel wrong because they ARE. And that anxiety wearing them causes? It's real. The body, rebels. Having a mask on feels like a danger. (It is) and seeing other people submit to manipulation is frightening. Hell yes it's depressing. But... this is all going to pass. The advice to seek out a mask-free church is good. If you can find one moral support group like that, it could make all the difference. You sure are not alone in how you feel. I hate to give our oppressors a victory -- by succeeding in breaking us. Please trust that something WILL change in Calif especially if Newsom is recalled.

family of patriots here in SD. I feel your pain friend. hang in there, it'll get better. you're not alone

That's what they want.

It is not what we want for anyone. It is not what the Lord wants.

Yes what you are going through is real and it does cause real suffering.

Also do not be afraid to call a hot line and get whatever solace and advice they can offer. You deserve to talk to someone who will listen. You are seriously in need of relief. Doesn't mean you want to harm yourself. You are being harmed and you deserve it to stop.

Hang in there!

From here in Tennessee, I have a friend out in SoCal with a similar situation; she can't move due to medical and financial reasons, and is living on a shoestring just to get from day to day. If you can possibly find a way, even if it means sacrificing things in your life, move to that Midwestern place you liked so much.... anything worthwhile in this life -- mental health, happiness, liberty -- is worth sacrificing for.

But if it's impossible to move, fine others who are in your situation and who might agree with your politics and frustration, and hold weekly (or daily?) support group meetings Just talk about what is bothering you today, or commiserate with each other. You would be amazed at how talking it out with like-minded people can let sunlight into your soul.

Good luck!

I feel so badly for you. I live in a red state with a dem governor. Yesterday I went to a medical center for my annual check-up. While there, they insisted everyone wear a face mask. I wore mine below my mouth - got the stink eye from the staff. When the doctor walked in, he looked at me and said don't you practice? I told him no, I did not and why should I wear a mask when the box they come in tells you they do not protect against this virus. He stopped me right there and said we have political differences. Which told me he knows this is political and not medical. He then added that no one has had a cold since this thing began - as if this is the result from wearing an ineffectual mask. Anyway, I check in with the clinic every year just to get my high blood pressure med, otherwise I would not mess with these idiots. I never get grief from the stores when I come in without a mask. Oh well, I'm still shaking off the bad vibes from seeing the doctor and his office.

All I can say is, Bible Beltway. And sorry for your beautiful state being turned into a cesspool. California is so beautiful and hosts desserts, snow cap mountains, luscious forests, a beautiful coastline and beaches, yet the politics have turned it into the most cringeworthy state. Truly unfair.

Try this for a start. Take St Johns Wort. Specifically, ST JOHNS FORCE from New Chapter. It is a natural mood stabilizer and will help you stay more even keeled. There is a lighter version called Happy Camper that may be easier to find. In Europe, St Johns Wort is a prescription medication given routinely for depression. And everyone should be on 5-HTP, very beneficial for brain health. Good luck.

San Diego county here, just recently quit my second job because I figured the mask thing wouldn’t let up (Grocery/retail so the mask is mandatory to work). Just biding my time until I can move to AZ or NV. The amount of ignorance in California has reached absurd levels.

just move

I don’t have a mental disorder and the masks make me panic and give me anxiety and nearly want to kill myself (not literally) every time I had to put one on. I am so sorry for you and I hope that your state opens up soon. I pray the truth comes out soon and is undeniable even to the blindest of sheep!

By the way, forgot to share how I have been combating the negative affects of leftist propaganda, vaxx and masks freaks...

Excellent deep water fish oil producy called Stabillium. Been using it for years, but even more now.

It helps with anxiety and any form of depression, which we all have some form of because of many environmentalfactors. Try it out and best health you follow Cali resident.
