The current state of this country has me panicking. I'm having panic attacks left and right. : confession 
You should get a spine and have it installed. It's wayyy too early to panic, because a lot more of this shit is coming. If you think it's bad now, you've got another thing coming.
I am overjoyed that someone is finally starting to weed out the financial corruption we have been enduring all these years. I don't see why this would make you panicky. We should all be happy we finally have a real leader at the helm.
Worried? I'm ecstatic AF! This is exactly what I voted for!
However, I can see why you're having issues.
1. You and your party has no power. You have been rendered impotent
2. You're weak AF
How to solve this? Get off the Internet. Go do something active, man or woman the frick up!
Then leave.
Yea heaven forbid Americans complain about American things on an American app supported by an American company. [-6]
You should see a therapist. This isn't remotely a bad period of time compared to historical standards
Edit for the downmarseyrs: you need to bear in mind that a lot of people lived through decades where nuclear war seemed like a lot more than a hypothetical possibility.
Everything is finally getting better.
I feel you and totally relate. If you want a friend to mutually lean on for support during this insane time, please feel free to message me. [-25]
Shut upppppppp
It's NOT you. The average person is under-reacting because they don't want it messing up their routine or taking their crumbs.
The government is objectively being dismantled and people should not just be acting like it's BAU.
Eventually this is going to trickle down on all of us and not just the immigrants and government workers.
I didn't care about your guys election choices until your leader started threatening my country here in Canada every other day with erasing it off the face of the Earth.
I'm feeling anxious aswell . [-6]
Another USAID worker chiming in [🤣]
You're the problem.
Get off the internet. The real world is not the one that exists in your mind, and places like reddit only serve to convince you that they are.
Would you rather find joy or justify misery?
If you're honest about that answer, it will reveal everything you need to know about your direction in life.
Yeah shit is really bad. These people telling you that what is going on is good is either gaslamping you or just dumb as frick.
You have to mentally check out some. Being hyper aware won't get much accomplished. You have to take a step back. Grieve whatever loss it is in stride.
Don't let anyone gaslamp you into trying to tell you that removing environmental protections, deleting our data, setting up a literal concentration camp, subverting the constitution, etc are good things. They are not.
It's hard to control panic attacks and I don't know the best way to subvert them. Know you aren't alone. You care about other people and don't let anyone try and take that from you. Let your voice be heard if you can.
The current regime is NOT on the right side of history. Most of them know it too.
This is what I imagine every redditor is like in real life as I read all the seething going on here the last couple months
I am putting on my blinders and taking solace in that the US thought it wise to train me in violence.
I won't go full radical unless someone questions my kid's citizenship.
I do seem to be in a state like I was in the Army, where I am comfortable and ready to respond with deadly force. I've never really experienced that so casually before. [-8]
If this isn't bait, you need to get mental help. Your team didn't win, thats how our government works. Try again in 4 years. But to be this affected by an election isn't a normal reaction
I accepted myself as trans a little over a year ago. Started hrt maybe 6 or more months ago.
I cry almost every other day on the way home from work since the inauguration. I'm terrified, and filled with hopelessness and anger.
Edit: to those who REALLY think I'm overreacting, look at and read the executive orders around trans people. Look at what he's doing to the CDC. Look at the people who lost care already, who can't get their passports back.
If you still don't believe it's bad, kindly frick right off yeah? [-3]
I think some level of concern is okay, but it should not make it impossible for you to function in day to day life. Like others said, I would seek out therapy. You make what you can out of it because life can't stop.
id seek therapy. Im significantly less than happy but calling out of work out of fear is a little extreme

If you went into a coma for two years, woke up, and walked down an American street, you'd be shocked at how different things are now
