Last night sucked, but I have to take it in stride.

I've come too far in managing my anxiety to let this get to me.

1. You are not alone.

2. I'm too old to emigrate

If I were not, I would leave this country for good. We've discussed it. The future is up to my kids and grandkids now.

3. It was pretty horrible.

I guess it wasn't a complete surprise, but I didn't sleep a wink, and listening to the strategists--who all sounded like they spoke from the exact same talking points--upset me even more because I feel like they always seize on the easiest and cliched explanations to avoid having to face the complex and difficult explanations.

4. I turned the tv off early

So I could sleep. The last time I stayed up to watch the results was when TFG won n I cried all night. No more talking heads n their opinions at election time helps control my anxiety.
