Yes, very much so. In fact, I was surprised by how much the election affected my mood. It sent me into a spiraling depression -- today was the first time I left the house since Tuesday... and I am not agoraphobic or have social anxiety. I suppose it caught me completely off guard because I hadn't even considered the possibility of a Trump win.
I have run the gamut of emotions -- sad, heartbroken, angry, hopeless, hopeful, motivated, discouraged... half of me is ready to get up and get to work, to try to better our country, but the other half just wants to give up. Something inside of me broke on Tuesday night.
