It's 6:30 am I'm in a bad panic attack

38. The feeling of panic and helplessness is natural.

The human brain can only cope with so many things to worry about.

But, cynical me, I'm thinking that this is all by design - Trump and his horde of Evildoers do it deliberately, to create a sense of hopelessness and inactivity, making us easier to manipulate.

How about:
1. Identifying the things that freak you out. Write them down, one item per piece of paper.
2. Sort them out into groups - ones you can't control, and ones you can.
3. The ones you can do something about - spread them out on a table, and try to think of strategies for coping with them.
Write those down. If you can't think of a strategy for a particular problem don't worry, it will come to you.
The others? Into an envelope, stash it somewhere.

And, from personal experience, a good dose of hate and anger towards those who have gone out of their way to stuff up what was once a nice country, helps a lot.
