I don’t know anyone who is doing “well” right now. Have we entered an era of perpetual anxiety and deep uncertainty? Is this the beginnings of what some historians are calling the rise of an authoritarian regime in the US?
Having been in power for less than two weeks, Trump has already reinstated the Global Gag Rule, pledged to revive the Dakota Access and Keystone XL oil pipelines, banned federal agencies and scientists from publicly reporting their findings, halted immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries, pledged to build a wall on the Mexico border and much more.
Like many of you, my mental health has significantly declined since the election. I woke up each morning these past two weeks with a blast of adrenaline and a gut-wrenching pit in my stomach. I wearily reach for my phone and open up Twitter to see what Trump plans to roll out today. I scroll through in horror as my hands start to tremor. I’m anxious and drained. It’s not even 8am.
When living in times like this, it’s hard to define a baseline “normal” let alone define wellness....

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!
I AWAKE HAPPY EVERY DAY AND THANK GOD THAT DONALD J. TRUMP IS OUR PRESIDENT.
Yup.
Hoo boy!
Yep, Amanda Gelender certainly comes off as a 'professional'.
In Bizarro World, that is.
LOL...
Seems like she has that same nitrous oxide smile in every pic of her. Are we supposed to take her mental state for granted, indeed?
I’m doing great. Couldn’t be better!
It’s picture completely met my exact expectations of the author of article.
Indeed!
Finally happy at long last!
Somehow over the last 8 years libs got the idea that they would never lose the WH again. I heard and read them saying it. “GOP is finished “ etc....Even though we had most of the legislatures etc...Nonetheless.... they got that idea in their heads. They can NOT deal with this loss I see it first hand. They are becoming violent and they are going to need to be physically stopped. Look at Berkley tonight.
Btw Get this...I was watching CNN during the Berkley riots tonight...And listened as the on-scene gerbalist said “they’re singing, they’re dancing it’s almost like a party”. Making it sound joyous that free speech we being snuffed out. Unreal!
so this Purple Haired cow never runs across any Trump voters with the Best.Election.Ever smiles plastered across their faces.
Maybe she needs to get out of Starbucks more often.
Once Starbucks starts hiring those Muslim refugees, she’ll probably know real mental anguish.
“Mental health advocate”
She might want to acquire some before she advocates it.
Ditto. I haven’t been this serene in years. I know big trouble may be in the offing, but it’s been coming for decades.
She looks like she’s on Prozac.
“Truth is great and will prevail”
Get used to it, melting snowflakes and poodle puddles.
You’re right that big trouble might be coming our way, but at least we know our CIC can handle it because he has the very finest and most capable of men advising him.
We also know for certain that he’s totally on America’s side and that winning is everything to him!
We are blessed!
Wow. Maybe she should look in a mirror.
Non-existent.
