today in my insurance company's "health tips" spam email...

"Tips for coping with negative news"

what the fuck has happened to our country that insurance companies feel the need to do this?!!???

1. +1. Would not be surprised if encounters for depression, anxiety, etc., have spiked since 11/2016.

3. oh they have

I have seen mental health pros discussing this, and I am pretty sure there have been papers/articles already.

7. Im dealing with bursitis in my shoulder and when I went to my doctor

I asked if she’s seen an uptick in anxiety with her other patients since the election and she said yes.

Heck the day after the election my fibromyalgia flare so bad I couldn’t get out of bed except to eat and use the bathroom.

2. Gotta make Trump the new normal

For a while, we had to declare No Trump Friday just to cope with this madman. Maybe we've gotten inured to his lunacy, or maybe there are ameliorating factors (more people catching on to Trump's scam), but I seem to cope better about this asshole squatting in the White House.

Yeah, the meta of this email is horrible to contemplate, but the insurance company is actually doing its job on behalf of its customers.

4. Many insurance policies only have minimal mental health provisions. eom

[Kali]

and killing themselves is what republicans want. But insurance companies don't.
