Venting Stressing rn over recent events

[BecomingTired]

I genuinely can't anymore, I'm so tired of everything already and the recent events have been taking a serious toll on me; why does it feel as if everything is reverting back towards 2014-2016 with all the recent events in US and UK? I'm trying to not think about it but I just hear more and more about how much worse it's getting, I finally started feeling comfortable with myself and my sexuality but now it seems like I have no place existing again with these thoughts of mine. I already live in an extremely conservative area so I already knew beforehand if I were to reveal anything I could really get killed over it, it happened a lot of times in the area I'm in since it's pretty ghetto as well but now I can't even think right I really have no place anywhere no matter what, I'm about to cry even writing this. Why do people act so judgemental on others just wanting to live life the way they want without hurting anyone? What did anyone even do to have to live in fear like this? I already struggle to make friends and now I don't see the point of even trying a tiny bit outside of online.
I'm stressing so bad, especially for my recent close friend because he's the most in danger right now with the things people been saying; I don't know what to do or even give words of comfort it's horrible how things have been and that doesn't even include how bad both of our lives have already been outside of all this. I can't anymore with any of this, I just hope things don't stay this bad.

Sorry for the ramble, I just wanted to get this off my chest.

Me too. I swear to god I've never been this hypersensitive to world events in my life. My mom was trying to share with me something a politician said and I was literally begging her to not tell me.

I get it, it's so hard to deal with it all right now, I tried to play it off but the more I hear the more it hurts wtf. I genuinely don't understand what's even happening anymore and I honestly don't want to understand.
