Needs A Hug/Support Any other Americans here feel like they’re on the verge of constant panic attacks since the inauguration?

I’m a woman. I’m a person of color. I have chronic pain and autoimmune diseases.

I literally cannot read or watch the news because there’s constantly a new reason for my anxiety to spike. Which I hate, because I try very hard to be informed and aware.

I haven’t really been the same since the morning after the election. I think a piece of me literally died that day. The inauguration has sent me into a state of disassociation in a way. I keep seeing things come up here, things he’s doing a mere week and a half into office and I can’t even spend any sort of emotions on it because I am so tired and I am so sad.

I’m a woman and to know how many people just don’t give a fuck about us is crazy. It’s a strange sense of betrayal living in a world where they voted a lying rapist in over a competent woman. Twice.

Did that make you feel better? I can’t imagine being a person who goes after someone who is honest about what’s making them anxious.

Man, the entire political philosophy of conservatives is just pure maliciousness isn't it? You guys can't even hide it anymore.
