Anybody else picking up nervous habits waiting for Election Day?

[tblue]

I refresh DU Latest News every 5 minutes. And I am gobbling chocolate and carbs like I'm in a contest. Glued to tv too.

[spockeye]

1. I'm refreshing DU and chain-smoking. Mostly cigarettes. n/t

[Sekhmets Daughter]

2. LOL...

I check Intrade compulsively all day long....

[bigwillq]

3. No (nt)

[fanfan0711]

4. My obsession with my cell phone

Not to talk but to constantly refresh twitter or check news sites. I put it away, then think "well, it's been a whole hour SOMETHING could've happened" and since my cell is mobile and my desktop and TV aren't, I'm constantly on it. *sigh*

[Freddie]

34. Me too

Constantly checking DU & Daily Kos on phone for any new developments or polls. Same with Facebook.

[Evergreen Emerald]

5. Me too! Du and chocolate!

What a way to go.

[JB126]

6. I wished I smoked

All I've got is DU and beer. By Nov 7th I'll have the worst hangover ever!

[madaboutharry]

7. Is your avatar a picture of your dog?

I have two Bostons. They're the best.

[tbennett76]

8. Stress induced OCD

is for some a temporary phenomenon. I walked away today. Whatever happens is not going to be changed now, and the last news events, his leadership on Sandy, the jobs report, were all positive. I believe in karma. We will win.

[goclark]

9. DU check in at least every hour

Can't look at Rmoney's face on tv

Depressed at the thought of Voter Suppression

[rso]

10. Nerves

I am usually very calm and relaxed, but this election has been incredibly stressful. I guess it's because of the incredibly huge consequences that the result will have.

[MFM008]

11. I had to up my zoloft

im a nervous wreck and I really feel Obamas going to win, everything I have is at stake. So much for everyone.

[liberalmuse]

12. Eating like crazy...

and my posts are barely coherent. My mind is not working right lately.

[Lefta Dissenter]

13. snapping at people who ask me questions

WHAT THE HELL BUSINESS IS IT OF YOURS???

(Just kidding. Chips and beer, Facebook and DU. I think I've moved about 30 feet total today)

[LeftofObama]

14. I haven't worked out in 2 days, not sure why.

I just feel anxious. In a way I want it to be over and in another way I don't. Seems like all I've done the last two days is eat and read DU.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

15. Smoking two packs a day....

and drinking beer....

[helpisontheway]

16. I'm dieting and I have a problem with

Emotional eating. When I get upset or worried I will automatically grab something to eat without thinking . So I'm trying to avoid that.

[Kurska]

17. Little birdy told me there was this green plant you could smoke

That makes the election way less nerve racking.

I've investigated these allegations.

[OKNancy]

18. I'm obsessed

[Ernesto]

19. not to worry!

[Mz Pip]

20. Leftover Halloween chocolate

That's the good part. My left eye developed a twitch that comes and goes depending on my stress level.

It hasn't helped that my son and his family are staying not far from Hoboken and have been without water and power for several days. They are safe but I still worry and hope the baby isn't getting sick from the cold. But I know they are better off than many there so I try not to worry too much. Water back on yesterday and power should be on today. That should take the edge off some of my worry. Now I just hope they can make it back to Manhattan to vote.

I don't think I have ever had such a visceral dislike for a candidate as much as I do of Romney.

[Delmette]

21. I run down the battery on my tablet ans while it is charging i run down the battery on my iphone.

Beer and cigarettes are always on hand. BUT, I'm having an election watch party at my house with my sister and Mother. Champagne will be on ice. Obama will win!

[northoftheborder]

22. My mouse clicking finger is sore and stiff, and I'm eating three times as much chocolate as I was...

.....allowing myself to have each day.

[2theleft]

23. Obsessive checking of DU, Twitter, Facebook, smoking,

not sleeping, and um, well, yeah, that about sums it up. Haven't moved more than 10 feet from my computer.

[Faith9326]

24. I watch almost every Obama speech to look at his mood

To see if he looks upbeat/happy/sad/worried(I have really good intuition).

It's very weird that it's become a routine now. I'm also obsessed with polls.

[Faith9326]

25. I forgot:

Twitter, texting, and I'm freakishly stressed.




Yoga classes have been my best friend lately.

[politicat]

26. Bad tummy. Hooked up a tv antenna again.

Nothing sits well. Eating mostly variations on CSV-BRAT. (Chicken Steamed Vegetables Bananas Rice Applesauce Toast.)

I prefer the web for news, but unless I can find decent streaming on Tuesday, I'll be stuck with broadcast.

[KT2000]

27. chocolate and carbs here too

and of course obsessive checking of the latest on DU every time I pass my computer.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

28. On DU a lot

Purposely did NOT get much Halloween candy. Glass or two of wine every night, fitful sleep.

[BlueDemKev]

29. Yeah, like checking Nate Silver's website about 50 times a day!

God-willing, this will all be over on Tuesday, and we will emerge VICTORIOUS!!

[savebigbird]

30. I talk incessantly about the election.

I think my family might be getting a bit sick of me right about now.

[JRLeft]

31. I am relaxed.

[rucky]

32. MSNBC is on every TV about 18 hrs/day

[cheezmaka]

33. Constantly checking DU as well as CNN!

An event was at a friend of mine's church in Michigan with leaders PRAYING for Obama. I'm praying as well. Going to church tomorrow to relax my mind. Will volunteer for the campaign some more on Monday evening after work... and THAT'S IT!

[nc4bo]

35. I think so. I'm trying to decide should I visit the ABC store on Mon. or Tues or

just grab something nice and tasty from the local grocery store Tuesday.

Hmmmmmm...............

[RichGirl]

36. I find myself....

...walking around the grocery store or wherever thinking: " Why is everybody so calm?" I'm a wreck!! I have the attention span of a one year old.

[MadBadger]

37. Before I lost power, i'd refresh pollster.com every few minutes

[secondwind]

38. I've ignored all my classwork, and am so far behind...

[union_maid]

39. Oh, way too many...

Checking DU constantly, breaking out in hives a lot, waking up at odd hours in the night and up for the day at 4am. Upside, I think I've lost a little weight because of the frequent gastrointestinal pain.

[cliffordu]

40. Just picking the scabs and laughing a little....

[budkin]

41. Haha same here!

[outsideworld]

42. Basically on du/twitter refreshing 24/7

[UTLonghorn]

43. I picked up smoking

again after 2 years of being smoke free. I've been at a pack a day for about a month now.

[beac]

44. DU, cheese... and I've become incredibly superstitious about anything

red.

I won't wear red, use red shopping bags, drink from red cups and I may have to give up tomato sauce and cranberry juice at the rate I'm going!

[savebigbird]

45. Cheese - LOL!

You are brave to go without red foods. I doubt I could exist happily without tomatoes and tomato products!
