You are right when you said we could be in a mental breakdown and not even know it. I know we been through a lot lately but when I started reading the list of all the things it shocked me. We had shootings, the George Floyd situation, Trump, Covid. That is a whole lot all at once. I guess we have to wait and see if people have a breakdown from all that.

Now here is where I will agree with the psychologist. Indeed, “We are not to live under this degree of fight or flight.” And certainly not for such a prolonged period of time.

However, while being forced to “live under this degree of fight or flight” is a whole new experience White America, (prompting a collective meltdown), Black America has been forced to live under this degree of madness, and worse quite frankly, for about 400 years in this country. So living with a high degree of stress, anger, anxiety, depression…you name it – that’s always been Our daily life experience in America. .

I’m not saying that Black America isn’t affected by the relentless assault, unleashed by Trump and COVID and the other madness confronting Us (mass shootings, racist and soiciopathic cops, the U. S, Supreme Court, etc.) I’m saying that having your mind, body AND soul relentlessly assaulted AIN’T nothing new for Us.

“For two and a half years, it has felt like – it’s just one more thing after another,” said psychologist Vaile Wright, senior director of the Office of Health Care Innovation at the American Psychological Association. […] – DJ

I have to respectfully disagree with the psychologist Vaile Wright. It has been “one more thing after another’ since Trump rose to power and won the presidency in 2016. In other words, WE have been under relentless assault (mentally and emotionally) for at least 6 years, NOT just “two and a half years.”

THEN, you add Coved 19 (and its subvariants) to the mix over the past 2 yrs and a half and as DJ pointed out ALL of those deadly infections are still with Us – along with ALL of the other madness we’ve had to deal with!
