(65,322 posts)It's rational to feel scared right now. We have an absolutely insane person running again for president and the polls are essentially tied.
I'm scared for what this means for our country. How could so many people be so fooled, or worse, perhaps they recognize who Trump is and they don't care?!
If you're asking for companionship right now, I'm here. If you're asking for affirmation, you've got it. If you're asking for advice, I'll tell you what I tell myself - be good to yourself. Be kind to yourself. Knowing that you've done what you can, you have the right to tune out politics for a while. Go for a walk, visit a museum, binge watch something, read a good book, eat your favorite food. Spend time with people who love and care for you.
However the election turns out, we're still going to have our fellow Americans, good and bad. It's a marathon. We have to stay healthy and mentally strong for ourselves.
