Personally my emotions are all over the place. I do ok during the day but wake up every morning terrified.
Going around people is hard because living in a red state, I know most people I encounter voted for Trump.

Whenever I see someone wearing a Trump hat or shirt I honestly feel sick to my stomach.

My life wasn't perfect before November 5th. But Trump
becoming President again is going to make it a lot more
difficult. I prepared myself mentally and emotionally all year for the possibility he might win. But ever since it actually happened I've felt totally ill equipped to handle another horrific Trump administration.

Knowing I'm not alone helps. But man this sucks. 75 million Americans voted for someone they know will hurt their fellow citizens. That's definitely a lot to process.
