There have been so many protests going on, which is ok, but the riots have added to the stress of what's going on. We need to embrace each other and accept each other for our differences. How are protests in your areas? Has there been any looting? How is all of this affecting you? What are you doing to cope?


There have been protests in my area and some looting, but not like in bigger metropolitan areas. I have been limiting my news time to 30 minutes a day so I do not get overwhelmed with it. I am making cookies today to get my mind off of it. Talk about healthy eating....

That was cute!

In my area, we have a number of mixed families as well as good police officers. I have seen respect for both (fortunately) but live in a small town.

I live in a very small close knit community and there has been no looting only one very small peaceful protest no cops needed. This meme is adorable

Very peaceful here, and around here. Anywhere in 60 miles of my house, in fact. Protests: Peaceful. Riots: Nonexistent. Police: Drinking coffee and chilling while watching the protest. (Note: After 2017 in Charlottesville, our area got real woke real quick, and the police got real wake-up calls... or were invited to retire. The local state prosecutors just reminded all cops around here that htey're *civilians* and have to obey the law they enforce... and can be sent to jail if they' don't. Just in case the cops got any ideas....)

Also, as the owner of a black cat, LOVE THIS MEME!

A church board member at one of the two little churches I serve asked me to join a protest in my town yesterday, so I went. We didn't riot or go looting. It was actually a nice time for me to get out of the house for others for a change. I limit my tv news watching time, too, it's too much to take in on a steady basis while maintaining good PTSD recovery.

I'm in another country but certainly support peaceful protest.... The looting is no good however I understand it

I think it does take away from what's truly important though

My niece-in-law is from Jamaica and it really bothers me that she has to spend time worrying about where their children go to school because of bigotry... It really is heartbreaking

I have to limit watching the news as well.... It can be overwhelming …. Big hugs.....xo

Where I live they are protesting looting and some people are being physical violent. I personally try not to watch television. Last night I seen where protesting is all over the world, I was surprised with what I saw and I heard about protesters attacking police officers to the point one officer did not survive.

Also the stress in my personal life had been real high. My dad is sick and family members near him is not looking for him to live; my mother is not dealing with the news will, also because of this protest going on she is in a lot fear and keep saying she don't want to die. Friday morning mother called the paramedics because her back was hurting. One of the ladies who is a paramedic came with the crew that morning. In the past she wasn't pleasant to my mother, each time she and her crew came to our home, she was not nice.

    I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now.  I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed.  So many bad things have happened since my mom passed.  One thing after another it seems.  Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up.  Thank...
