Well, today is Election Day in the United States and the anxiety is real. One thing’s for sure, after a year this stressful we all need a break. I’m no expert but here is my quick advice for how to deal with election anxiety.
If you’ve already voted, turn off the news. You’ll eventually learn the results so there’s no sense in adding to the anxiety. Instead, take time to care for your mental and physical health. That could mean binging your favorite Netflix series or exercising. They say laughter is the best medicine so maybe these relatable election anxiety tweets will help.

The only thing that’s getting me through this election anxiety is the fantasy that somewhere Taylor swift is in a recording studio doing her re-records and giving us the 11 minute version of all too well

I would like to announce I am hereby suspending all self-imposed dietary restrictions until November 4th. I will eat refined sugar products and processed food and carbs and fats and drink soda and milkshakes, as needed, for my mental health until after the election.
