I know I have anxiety issues about a lot of things but one thing that is getting me extremely anxious is the upcoming presidental election.
I'm not going to turn this into a political debate thread, just suffice it to say that I am EXTREMELY anxious about the election outcome. I'm to the point where if H starts discussing politics & the upcoming election, I start having panic attacks. Reading a lot of the news headlines about the election also cause me extremely high anxiety and even a few panic attacks. I have been trying to avoid reading the news headlines but somehow always get drawn back into it. Is this crazy or what? I have never been so anxious about an election outcome before, I mean not to this point. Can anyone relate? I don't know HOW to even make this better

Oh, I can relate. It causes me huge anxiety. I control it cause I only watch the local news for weather. All the rest I get off safe sites like NPR and CNN reading is somehow easier. If people in my building talk about it I walk away. Of course living alone makes it easier to control my environment.
