(5,328 posts)I basically just read headlines, and if something looks like it will set me off my anxiety and depression buttons I avoid it. I come here less but when I do I try to look for threads on Democrat Representatives who are still fighting the good fight. I also try and keep an eye out for any big news that I should stay aware of and the fun threads in the lounge.
Mainly I try to stay busy around the house, play with my dog, read, watch programs that have nothing to do with politics, and play internet games. I also have had so many family members, friends,doctors, and therapists reminding me that worrying won't make anything better, and that there is nothing I can do right now to prevent the shit show, anyway, and my falling apart would only make it all even worse. So even though I have a lot of fears about these next four years I am trying not to sink into total despair. So far I am holding it together, but time will tell.
