Anyone having troubling functioning with this election stress?

Laundry's not getting done, house is a mess, daughter's watching a lot of TV, and work (well that ended a while back). Going to a rally this weekend and volunteering on election day, but I don't know if I can stand much more of this stress!

1. Yep...

<b>In one sense</b>, when it's over (assuming we KNOW who will be the PotUS for the next 4 years on November 3rd), regardless of who wins, I will breathe a sign of relief. On the other hand, if the results are unfavorable... then it all begins again... stress, worries, etc...

2. I'm doing surprisingly o.k. but my wife is a mess...

I'm normally a huge lump of human stress and anxiety under normal circumstances. I thought I would be worse at this point than I am. But my wife who is normally not a worrier is having stomach problems over this election.

5. I just told my husband the other day

that I was "worried I was getting an ulcer." He made fun of me for that one! No, seriously I am anxious person to begin with too, but this has been crazy. I can't focus on anything but the latest breaking news!

3. I know exactly what you mean...

I've about had it. I've never been this animated and emotional about an election in my life. I can think of little else.

4. Yes! I'm a complete wreck.

I'm also going to do some volunteering this weekend, and am going to the Kerry rally in Tampa on Sunday night. Tuesday can't come soon enough.

6. I want to fast forward to next week

When I will be able to relax. I will take a long sabbatical from watching the news. It will be nice to not feel like I have to see what so-and-so is saying now.

7. I have mid terms next week and I can't concentrate

My mind is on the election and my nerves are wrecked.

8. Yes. Having trouble at work, in my classes and sleeping.

The uncertainty is driving me up the wall. In a straight up or down, fair election with all eligible voters kerry would win in a landslide.

But this election already looks like it is being doctored up as we speak. It scares the shit out of me.

9. It's scary because I feel confident

in Kerry, but so scared of what the system might be capable of
