I've been an organizer for only 2+ years and I feel like I'm already psychologically cracking dude the pressure from internal and external sources, the persecution, the stress, I'm dying 😭 how does anyone keep this up I'm actually going through it

    Every single time I get the rare chance to witness someone trying to organize more than ten people to do anything vaguely political, like talk about taking concrete steps to stop our government from unaliving children in other countries, it is plain how incredibly difficult the resulting onslaught of naysayers and argumentative donothings is.

    I wish I knew what to say. I wish I could do what you are doing. But I have some truly insane circumstances that make fulfilling my responsibilities to my family feel truly overwhelming. So I can't even begin to consider working on an organizational project.
