I think, based on how I'm feeling at just this minute, that watching the election and getting oh about 1 hour of sleep.. that I'm on the precipice of hypomania. At least the running and skipping about from my house to the shop has started.

[mossanimal]

and also the fact that I'm feeling a bit elated despite the train wreck.

[Coffeee]

Yeah with the lack of sleep that sure sounds like it.

[LucyG]

I had to take extra of my supplement that controls hypomania as I couldn't not watch the election results. I did get about 4 hours of sleep, but am still very tired.

I'm very happy with the results as I was very concerned that Hillary's tax increases would make our life very difficult as I figured they'd cost us at least $500 a month more. Now I feel like we can pay our bills.

[Coconutzo]

It definitely stirred me up. I was awake for a large chunk of the night spinning

[Coffeee]

I'm literally ripping scabs off my face right now I'm so distressed over it.

My stomach is killing me. A narcissist is running and representing our country...we are a laughing stock but what else is new. The people got what they wanted so that is that. Most people can't see through psychopaths and narcissists and find them charming.....only time will tell. I've got some good tools and gloves and am prepared to knock down every brick they put up when building that way. I might get shot but I won't stand for what happened in Berlin happening here.

He is probably just bipolar. He is gonna crash big time now that the election is over. ;-)

edit: I don't really think that.

He's classic NPD ....malignant too I believe. Not bipolar. He walked in on naked teens at Miss Teen USA. He's a creep and not bipolar.

He called his own daughter a piece of azz. I say NPD all the way.

I'm sure Donald Trump cares deeply for the mentally Ill....as long as you are attractive and not fat.

I'll admit Trump is a narcissist, but I truly believe he loves the American people and wants to see everyone prosper.

The mainstream media did everything they could to slander him. Sure, he used the 'P' word, but the reason WikiLeaks didn't release anything on him is because he's really a very boring person. He doesn't drink or even take aspirin. His big fault is overeating.

I don't think Trump is going to build a wall. He might build something, but the whole thing is to make sure people coming into this country are vetted meaning they aren't terrorists or criminals, and that they come in legally the way all our of ancestors did unless you're of Native American descent and were here before Columbus. What's wrong with that? Did you know schools in Texas and California are seeing kids with drug resistant TB and even leprosy from those that sneak across the border? Certainly those people need to be quarantined before being allowed in to keep everyone safe. If we could get past the emotions of Trump, most people would agree that they don't want sick criminals coming into their communities driving their crime rates up. Remember how Castro emptied his prisons in the Cuban boat lift back in the 80s? We don't need another country's criminals.

You called it. I'm disgusted by the post-election porn projecting legitimacy in how we all know he will govern. Vulnerable people must be protected. Resistance must be smart and unrelenting.

Thanks for trying to ease my mind Lucy. It probably a bit early for it to be effective but I will calm down eventually....I think I'm in literal shock....quick, someone throw a blanket over me.

Does anyone really believe this man is going to care about the struggles of the mentally ill?

When magical thinking is pervasive the unthinkable is likely. I was grieving, but now I'm angry.

Speaking of magical thinking, our Vice President elect is just as bad. Crap hit the fan and is flying all over the place. I will try to get over this but come January, I may just take up drinking again for at least 4 years. Please someone assure me it will only be 4 years. I lived with a narcissist who abused me the same way Trump abused Ivanka.....lived with him for almost 5 years and I'm lucky to be alive to tell the tale.

[mossanimal]

For the record... I was totally joking about the bipolar thing. In retrospect.. I don't even know what I thought was funny about that. THIS kind of day.

I'm hoping that the man is coming in so unprepared that his hand will be held by more experienced people so that he does as little damage as possible. I thought this article makes good points:

It Is Possible for Trump To Be a Good President - NYTimes.com

By the way.. I didn't intend to make this a political discussion (how could it not).. I was mostly just blaming the election and lack of sleep on my skipping mood. Trump's fault of course.

I wish I could thank my own posts right now.

@ ElsaMars: What do you mean by what happened in Berlin (interested because I live there )? Like second world war or something more recent about refugees and stuff? I am desperate about the results, even though I do not live in the U.S. It is one of the worlds leading countries and now has a guy in charge that is at least as crazy as Putin to me. Hope all will turn out well.

Trump wants to build a wall along the Mexican boarder to keep "the bad ones". Aka Mexicans out! We are caged animals on this earth and nobody gives a damn. You can't own the earth!!!

If we had free health care and not so many uneducated people afraid to vaccinate their kids, we would have no need to fear "others"

[Theresa1991]

I know and it sets me up soooo much. The guy I am just dating is Mexican and I have so many friends from Mexico and urgh it makes me want to throw up just to think about what that jerk is saying. My friends are afraid now and I understand them.

My neighbors are Muslim and nice people....I wonder if they will need to change their clothing to assimilate?

[Cocosurviving]

I agree stupid is just NPD. This next four years is going to be f**** up for anyone without a nice amount of money
