Michelle Obama says she is managing 'low-grade depression'
Former first lady Michelle Obama, in a new episode of her podcast on Wednesday, acknowledged that she is "dealing with some form of low-grade depression" this year. "Not just because of the quarantine, but because of the racial strife, and just seeing this administration, watching the hypocrisy of it, day in and day out, is dispiriting," Obama said on the podcast episode, the second episode of the season.
She blames, in part, the Trump administration's response to current events for her depression.
"I don't think I'm unusual, in that," Obama said. "But, I'd be remiss to say that part of this depression, is also a result of what we're seeing in terms of the protests, the continued racial unrest, that has plagued this country, since its birth. I have to say, that waking up to the news, waking up to how this administration has or has not responded, waking up to, yet another story of a Black man or a Black person somehow being dehumanized, or hurt or killed, or falsely accused of something, it is exhausting. And it has led to a weight that I haven't felt in my life, in a while."

Trump is destroying our, MY faith in humanity. He is causing the ugly hateful belligerent parts of this country to rise up, and threaten us with our whole country becoming them. He has made racism in our faces. Sexism too. Conspiracy theories as NORMAL NEWS to be discussed. And, he exports it around the world.
