My 82 yr old mother has been having this problem. She has been getting worked up over the direction our country is going. She speaks a lot lately of her father (German immigrant) and how he was so patriotic and must be turning in his grave. What really pisses her off is that she does not get a response to the letters she writes to her elected representatives. Not e-mail but snail mail in cursive with perfect English. I tell her to keep it up, keeps the blood pumping. She does take a nap in the afternoon these days, but sets her alarm so she does not miss Beck @5pm
