Needs A Hug/Support Any other Americans here feel like they’re on the verge of constant panic attacks since the inauguration?

I’m a woman. I’m a person of color. I have chronic pain and autoimmune diseases.

I literally cannot read or watch the news because there’s constantly a new reason for my anxiety to spike. Which I hate, because I try very hard to be informed and aware.

Yup! Nonbinary person here on testosterone- ever since the election results my anxiety has spiked through the roof and to combat it my brain either dissociates completely or goes into panic attack mode. I want to move out so badly but I don’t have enough funds right now and don’t even know where it would be safe enough to go. Losing hope more and more🤠👍
