How to cope with anxiety caused by Donald Trump: experts lend advice

[Lodestar]

excerpt -

Alternatively, psychoanalyst and author Jamieson Webster suggests channelling your inner Mr Spock and “look at [the election] as soberly as possible”. Face politics “without hysterical misery, without hysterical longing for an uber daddy president who is going to make it all better, without nostalgia for an America that’s gone, without melancholy”.

Either way, you’re in charge of your own feelings. “As a human being here in New York City, I can’t control what a politician does necessarily … the only thing I can control is my own reactions,” says Lodro Rinzler, a meditation teacher and founder of MNDFL, a meditation studio in Manhattan. “We can’t change how Donald Trump feels. We can change how we feel.”

Monitor your own social media
Fighting with Facebook friends might not be the best way to vent your frustration. “One option is to simply log off, and build community, friendship, solidarity offline,” suggests Pettman.
