Day 209 – Dealing With Depression Through Bullets

In keeping with my whole honesty theme, I have to admit that the stress of being the leading voice for our collection of survivors can be very difficult. 
Jennifer is trying to help me with medication but I am just not feeling it. The meds do help me sleep but the stress of everything that is going on seems like it is weighing heavily. I have been searching for ways to deal with everything that has been going on.
I have been trying to find a way to vent my stress. Some people might punch a heavy bag or break things. I have found that putting a bullet between the eyes of these walking monstrosities is wonderfully cathartic.
Now, the rule with the zoms is to put a bullet in the head. Destroying the brain destroys the zombie. It is the only fool proof way to put them down. But this is harder than it looks. I know horror movies show their heroes running through the streets shooting at zombies trying to block their path and scoring shots right in the middle of the forehead with every bullet fired. This is much harder than Hollywood makes it look. Even with a steady mounting, a powerful scope, and a slow moving, unsuspecting target, this is not an easy shot to make.
I don’t want to sound like a serial killer but there is something tremendously cathartic about blocking out everything else around you and just focusing on only what is through that scope. All the problems you are experiencing, you can just block all that out and focus on everything that is within the circle of that scope.
Then… BLAM!
Now, you are dropping zoms. So you can say that you are doing it for the good of the group but, truth be told, I am doing it because I pin my problems on these zoms and then blow their brains out.
Yes, I am aware that this makes me sound like a serial killer but you do what you have to do to get your grip on your sanity.
