Frankly, it's easy to understand why these people are so upset, sad, and/or angry...
The media has been vilifiying, and more importantly, telling us what a boob and dolt President Bush is, since before he won the primary in 1999. They were just echoing what they heard from the MSM in Texas, and then adding to it.
One reporter uses another for a reference, and before long, you wind up with someone who should really need a ventillator in order to keep breathing... This guy has no brain at all! And let's not forget the word "gravitas!" And then the European press picks up on it, spreading the word that the unenlightened masses of the USA might just elect someone even dumber than they are! Then, the MSM in the US picks up just what the european press thinks of this cantidate, and you know, they must be right, since they're european, and it is much worse that even they thought it was! The guy would lose in a debate to a rock!
That's how a man who graduated from Yale, achieved a Harvard MBA, and flew fighter jets got labled a simpleton, moron, and far worse. The leftists believe it to the completely true, and they simply can't fathom that this "hockey puck" (appologies to Don Rickels) out-thinks and politically out-manuvers them at every turn! There must be "foul play" here!
Another reason that these people get so upset that President Bush won the election, to the point of wanting to get therapy (the fact that they're so upset about the election that they want therapy indicates that they NEED therapy, but not about the election!) to help them cope with their loss. I believe that the reason behind this is due to the fact that President Bush has been so thouroughly villified by hate groups like ANSWER and MOVE-ON.ORG, as well as his political opponents, like McAwful, Gore, and Ol WaterWings himself, that they're beside themselves that such an evil man could have won! I mean, this guy (President Bush) is worse than Hitler, and Satan, and Enron, and Halliburton all put together! This man in patently evil, and he wants to kill all the good people, and give the contract to Halliburton to grind up those good, dead people, and turn them into oil!
He's been so thouroughly villified that some of these pathetic people see President Bush as the face of evil incarnate, maybe even their own "anti-christ," so of course, they're terribly upset that "their country" is now being run by an "evil man."
I really pity these people, but that pity is tempered with suspicion. Because I have no doubt that there are some "unhinged" leftist morons out there who might decide that becoming a suicide bomber isn't really a bad thing.

Good point. Wonder how many of them were in therapy before. No doubt, some of them envy Woody Allen's being in therapy for several decades.
