Trump Overload Syndrome

TOS.

I suggested to my Wife that she has it when she lost control at the Dentist yesterday when they were doing a normal checkup. She was watching TV in the morning and the appointment was in the afternoon.

We're all riding on the edge of a cliff.

health of people in this country. This has been verified by a number of my doctors who have seen an increase in Trump related illnesses. It is serious. People are very distressed.

But this year I developed high blood pressure. I have a sneaking suspicion all the stress due to Trump contributed to it. I go through each day with so much background anxiety now.

I've even stopped listening to anything news related in the car. Just music. It's impossible to avoid completely, but I think I've been yelling (at people on a screen who can't hear me) a whole lot less. Keep taking that blood pressure medicine. LOL.
