My advice is to folks who are feeling deep stress over the political climate. If possible, unplug. Go outside.
Physically, go outside and spend some time there, be present with the external world. If possible, connect with people you care about. Be present in the current moment.

We should not be paying federal taxes so red states can suck up all our money.
Aside from here and Tik Tok. Soon to be just here. 🥺
I am planning a stress free Monday.
We are relaxing with a glass of wine, appetizers, and a movie. Romantic comedy if I get to choose!
As a political science student, I am EXTREMELY depressed over everything right now...
The world is litteraly crumbling before my eyes and there's nothing I can do about it
He'll, most people I talk to aren't even aware of the insane things happening right now
Just depressing
Breaks let you come back refreshed & prepared. Plus they will help keep apathy towards the fight at bay.
It's why I am back to playing video games. Watching TV shows on my to watch list.
Reading things I had put off.
Getting my passport.
Planning my spring garden.
Exercise...little things.
NOT watch cable news. I got burnt out. I check here for news. And its still too much.
I'm heartbroken.
I'll just take one last look ...
And if you're over 40. Idk. Get a dog and stop thinking about it.
So much hate
Going out in nature for a few minutes daily,unplugging from devices,breathing!
Of course you should pay attention and fight when you are being taken advantage of.
But there are bigger things all around you.
Is there anything I can do to breathe ground myself better in reality?
Righteous anger and moral indignation is closer to how I am feeling...
And tbh this is how I am present in the moment...
I have spent far to much of my adult life already "unplugged" as you say...
That time has passed...

Not all of Yanks are damn Yanks and then some of us even still have a brain cell or two =)
*Bloody cheers to you*
P.S. I have quite a few British friends online
When we feel worried, we need an outlet to express ourselves.
We feel helpless because we don't know what to do with our feelings and convictions.
This is a good time for people to form deeper bonds with their community.
Thanks for the reminder 🩵
But I hope others can take your good advice.
There are literal accounts on here that I haven't seen say anything positive about life.
