Psychologists and massage therapists are reporting ‘Trump anxiety’ among clients

To the catalogue of anxieties her patients explore during therapy — marriage, children and careers — psychologist Alison Howard is now listening to a new source of stress: the political rise of Donald Trump.

[GunMage]

I admit feeling pretty depressed during both of Obama's elections, but I don't understand how some of these people can get through their day. It's as if not having everything absolutely perfect in their lives causes them to hyperventilate.

[Donglalinger]

So no happy ending?

[central_va]

Better know as TDS.

[Samwell Tarly]

I don't trust psychologists and massage therapists.

I do trust my barber however...

[Eddie01]

Good. I hope they shat themselves.

[taterjay]

Is it GOPe? They know the gravy train is about to end. They should go ahead and buy funeral plans in case the stress becomes more severe.

[Larry Lucido]

I’m stressed. Can I get a prescription for a massage?

[WENDLE]

They haven’t seen anything yet!!

[SnuffaBolshevik]

Seppuku.

It’s the only way to be sure.

[central_va]

Take matters into your own hands and take care of it yourself.

Trump can make some money here.

Just sell them a week at one of his spas, so they can get over their wimp-a-ninny.

[Farmer Dean]

I was going to say that these people need to get ahold of themselves but you kind of beat me to it.

[HarleyLady27]

I remember this being used by George Romney against Barry Goldwater.....are they using that ‘playbook’ now? LMAO!!!

[chicagolady]

I have TRUMP ANXIETY! I am anxious he is NOT gonna get the Delegates he needs!!

[Ken H]

'My right side is killing me!'

[Huskrrrr]

Good news. Hopefully one-way airline ticket sales are up as well.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Trumphobia? Donaldosis?

One thing I think I can say, a new wind this way comes with Donald Trump. He has friends and enemies. Anything about the political profile of the typical Trumphobe?

[nickcarraway]

He may do to more Christians what he did to Carrie Prejean.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Donald isn’t all that terribly rightist.

What’s different about Donald, perhaps, is that he seems to MEAN to do something. Half a conservative loaf, actually baked, scares liberals more than a full one, not baked.

[Roger Kaputnik]

Most the pity.
