Wow. Just wow.
Here's something I should mention: I almost had a panic attack Tuesday night. I was in a pretty bad way. It seems dumb but when Biden spoke it calmed me down. I watched an episode of Voyager & sipped a glass of whiskey.
The counting caused a similar amount of anxiety, but I managed to somewhat contain it. It was more or less manageable, although it did feel a little like a stomach ache & it was accompanied by the recognition, every once in a while, that my heart was beating a little too fast. When the networks called the election today, I still had all that stress & anxiety in me, & it has kept me from getting anything done.
Well, not that - I'm getting stuff done - just too late. I am supposed to turn in the Dickenbock Report by 8am Friday. I finished it tonight. If it doesn't air, it's my fault - my inability to deal with this election.
It's not over because you know the other guy won't concede. & who knows what his stooges are doing behind the scenes to wreck as much of the country on their way out. So - still stress, still anxiety.
Let's see if I can get Self Help Radio done this week. I might need extra sleep. Anyone want to talk to my animals & get them to lay off a bit?

Deep breathing, peppermint oil, & Bob Ross got me through many anxious moments these past few weeks. Benadryl has also helped when I couldn't fall sleep because my heart was beating so loudly. The palpitations are the scariest. Cutting out caffeine & cutting down on booze helps.
Sorry you're suffering with anxiety. The struggle, as they say, is real. Hope you find some peace.
