((((Misty)))))...I can so relate...the economy, elections and the constantly hearing "bad news" is also flaring up my anxiety/depression...I haven't been diagnosed as OCD, but I'm sure I am as have on and off obsessions. I have been obsessing over my finances because of all the bad news...but the thing is that my anxiety has always made me a very frugal person as one of my biggest fears has always been loosing it all....so, although I'm more then okay financially, I'm fretting big time. I have turned off from watching the news in the past two days, to try to tone down my anxiety. I hope just knowing that many of us are on the same boat as you can bring you a little peace. I will hold you in my prayers!
