I feel sad this morning...

[denorios]

Not depressed or frustrated or anything, just...sad. I don't know if it's the weather (miserable, wet and grey) or the dream I had last night (I was lost and trying to find something or someone, I can't remember). It could be because it's Article 50 day today, or the fact that I'm reading a biography of Clover Adams and just reached the part

Must be something in the air, I've felt similarly all day. Just a touch out of step with the world, and caught between tired and melancholy. I hope your day picks up! :)

Yep, that's it. Like viewing the world through a thin grey curtain. Heartsick.

I have felt ^^ like that since the US election in November. I keep waiting for things to feel normal but again but it hasn't happened.

I think it's just...you have a particular view of the world, and then things like Trump and Brexit happen and it makes you realise that maybe you didn't know your world and your country and people as well as you thought you did, that maybe you were too optimistic and that people are a lot meaner and self-centred and mean-spirited than you thought...

Yes, all of what you said is it exactly! Before all of this happened, I had way more faith in humanity and now it's nil.
