God bless you, Thunder-Lips. Wednesday I spent the day at our park with my two (under five) children. All the moms there were crying, yelling and hugging. I just...really don’t want this to be real. It really is a tragedy and I’m not ready to move on yet. Sneaky little coward assholes are slowly putting up their

I couldn’t drink either...I cried and took heavy anti-anxiety pills. And now I’m in the anger/action part. I will not take this shit lying down.

I worked the day after the election and I called out sick. I am a nurse and a lot of my patients tend to be Trump supporters. I would have taken care of them but I would have had a hard time keeping my mouth shut like I do when Fox News is on or stupid comments are made. It doesn’t happen too often but I feared it

This is going to sound strange, even to my own ears, but I’ve been too distressed/depressed to drink this week.I have plenty of booze in the house, but it’s gone undrunk. Maybe drinking mass quantities of alcohol alone in bed is a little taboo even for my taste, because the fact that I’ve spent a lot of time that I

I know I am not the only one who has spent the last 4 days blindingly drunk, but I actually called into work today just to specifically get crap housed again. I am a chef at a country club and I don’t know if I can make food for a bunch of Trump supporters anymore. I seriously don’t know if I can do it anymore.

My mother had never done anything like this before. On September 10, she had called me up. She said there was something wrong in the universe, she felt a lot of pain, and that a lot of people were leaving us. Then the 11th happened.

I was super confident about the election until maybe two days before, and I felt something. I don’t know what it was, but I had a min-panic attack at home.

Terrorist will know we’re ripe for an attack and the response will be tremendous and then all bets are off.

But love does trump hope. Sometimes it just takes longer to prevail. The fight isn’t over, it’s just beginning. Seriously, I’ve been thinking about this. Believe it or not, in some ways, this horrible situation will embolden liberals to do what we haven’t been doing enough of, which is to finally stand up and

Fortunately Rosie has the resources to flee abroad. It’s the women who publicly accused him of sexual assault that I’m scared for.

Ha, what do you know! Me too! (Alcohol.) How long have you been sober? Two months for me.

That’s how I feel. The night of the election I distinctly felt a darkness enveloping me. I’m not being hyperbolic and I haven’t felt any better. I keep thinking it’s just my anxiety talking but I don’t think it is. In some ways the inevitability of this should be freeing but it’s not. Michelle Obama and we were wrong,

I haven’t watched it either. I’m really trying hard to control my emotions now, but nothing is helping. I had been calling my elderly father a few times a week to reassure him that there was no way Trump would win. Now I can’t bear talking to him. I feel guilty. Crap, I just started crying again.

Bill looks so bereft during that speech and Hillary is icy poise. I love her. I wish I had her self control. I cry at the drop of a hat these days.

The only time I’ve felt this pain is when I broke up with the love of my life.

Same. I’ve been watching National Geographic and just about anything else.

I haven’t watched her speech because I can’t bear to see her conceding to it.

Bill is a skeez and SUPER problematic, but whatever the dynamics of their marriage, it was always clear they’re each other’s Person.

I’m a news junkie and since the elections I can’t bear to read newspapers or listen to podcasts.
