       Clinically speaking, this is definitely a week for anxiety issues

       And it's a week for people being let's say gaslighted by those they know, about how scary the world is right now.

       Prepare your mental health support plan for Tuesday / Wednesday now. Who will you have on speed dial? Will you be watching results with friends, or judiciously filtering results through social media etc.?Regardless of outcome, it will be a mentally taxing time. You may be exhausted, anxious, struggle to concentrate, have trouble with executive function.Account for this now and reduce obligations where necessary. Maintain structure if that helps you, or reschedule if it will be too much.

       Plan out basic self-care such as supporting your sleep, appetite,  exercise, meds, social interactions. If you are vulnerable to self-neglect, schedule these out manually. Set alarms.Not taking care of yourself won't help the cause! 🌸

       @_L1vY_ and allow yourself to feel all the feelings if they happen to you. It's OK. You're allowed to be stressed.

       As some are mentioning, maybe get a few weeks' groceries and gas up the car if you live somewhere risky to go out.

       I saw a helluva lot of shocked faces in my practice and just out on the city streets after November 9, 2016. People were really surprised it could happen!And those who were NOT surprised, because they had read history, or because they had lived with racism their entire lives, were still traumatized and terrified by the overt hate.Remember that right-wingers are so violent and such sore winners.
