“56% say they can’t sleep”.
My doctor told me that he has seen an increase in the request for sleeping pills. Not because people are angry at this or that but people are worried and stressed. Our country is being flushed down the toilet so of course people are worried. People have lost their jobs, homes... trying to figure out how to pay for food, gas and new kid clothes... yes, people are affected. I find this article glib. It sounds like people reacting to a bad economy, the elimination of freedom etc... is somehow “rude and silly”.
A friend of mine in Philly is an anxiety/panic disorder counselor.
She told me that Obama’s nomination caused a huge spike in phone calls.
His election wound up making her a lot of money from people who were having emotional meltdowns.
I haven’t talked to her in quite a while [she’s *always* in a counseling session with someone] so he’s possibly made her a millionaire, by now.
We all see the financial and constitutional damage he’s done but what’s the total toll on people’s general mental health?
Inestimable.
I was talking to a lady across the street the other day. She is a nurse who works for a psychiatrist and said his workload has increased dramatically from people coming in with stress.
