I don't know how else to put it. I'm alone, I'm scared for my life, and I don't see any glimmer of hope. I'm worried I'll end up hunted and killed, or forced into a point where I'm starving to death, or have to make a horrible decision to kill my pets rather than let them starve or freeze.
I'm really terrified.
Please pray for me and for anyone else who is feeling like this. And if you have any honest words of comfort, I could really use a few right now.
EDIT: I can't reply to everyone, so I'm putting out a blanket thank you here. I can't say it's helped any, but I really REALLY appreciate it.
Even if the worse comes to fruition, we have the gift of foresight (unlike the lefties who cheer on the uniparty.) Move to a rural red county if you can, stock up on essentials, and secure the perimeter of your home. When it comes to pets, maybe do some research on essential nutrients for that animal and stock up on vitamin concoctions to mix into human food if necessary so you don't have to rely on pet food- I used to do this with one of my cats who went through a weird period where he would only eat canned chicken.
You can also buy "fish antiobiotics" which are the same as human antibiotics without a prescription. Definitely good to have on hand for both pets and people alike. There are plenty of dosing charts out there.
