You need to occasionally need to take a break. Don't visit DU, turn off MSNBC, leave the radio off, etc. take a bike ride, listen to some music, read a book, do anything BUT politics for a week. I have to do this at least once a month just to get the knot in my stomach to loosen up. If you, like me, tend to be a political junkie, it can make you insane. Take a break. It will all still be there when you get back but your blood pressure will be lower.
