@M00dyBlue Most of us have some Post Traumatic Stress issues from the 2016 election and so the anxiety is real. However, I have voted, all my family members have voted, and I have regularly financially supported candidates over the past year going into this election... there just isn't really anything else to do that is within my control. So I am avoiding watching / reading news for the majority of the day and will be going for a hike shortly with hubs and our dog. Trying to stay calm.
