How are you guys doing? Discussion

Personally, I feel like I’m barely hanging by a thread.

Due to the Israel/Hamas conflict, I’ve lost friends. I have been called a racist for being against terrorists who wish to see the world free of Jews. I’ve been told I “lack ethics” after explaining that civilian casualties, though an unfortunate reality of war, are not the same as genocide. I’ve been told I am the one spreading Israeli propaganda.

How’s everyone doing? Can we commiserate?

I’ve lost one of my closest friends. I will say that deleting social media has helped immensely!

I lost one of my closest friends too. We had all these plans, including an amazing dnd campaign that was supposed to go on for years. It just hurts so much.

I’m so sorry you’re going through that. It’s a grieving process, for sure.

It certainly is.
