Yes.
I was in shock watching the election and then I couldn't sleep, I was kinda hypo manic leading up to the election and then as it append i was in pure shock and then depression hit. I thankfully had group therapy and a therapist appointment the next day to try and cope and talk about everything. I was more angry and anxious more than anything. I was also feeling major instability because the morning of the election we were told to find a new place to live before the holiday. I was already a lil shook up going into this terrible election.
I rely on affordable care act for my medication because I don't make enough at work until i get a degree. It is very expensive to live in Chicago and I will never be able to afford my meds or therapy (once school is over) again if that is repealed.
Also, being Gay, I am very fearful that my rights will be taken away and that it will be easier to discriminate against me.
Finally, Going to school and learning about economics, Finance, and Business: I am utterly ashamed and scared that people who have no knowledge of simple government financials. I had a guy who works for the state tell me that he wanted taxes eliminated not realizing that taxes are what pay him. No offense to anyone who voted for Donald Trump (I dont want to fight) but his economic and financial strategies are going to really get our country is a bad situation.
All I can do is try to keep having hope in the government to do what is right.
