I'm a wreck. I sort of wish there was more open discussion of this in our media, but I also understand why that's probably a bad idea (it shows Trump we are afraid).

I hit a point last summer where I thought "It cannot possibly get any worse than this" meaning my anxiety, insomnia, difficulty in focusing, feeling of total loss of control of my world and feeling like a hidden refugee in my own country, or a guy in the Witness Protection Program. But as I sit here typing today, I can say it could and did get a lot worse.

It is kind of reassuring to know we are not the only ones.
