10. After the election, I started having lower back pain.

None of my docs seemed particularly interested -- basically, they said that you're an old lady, get used to it.

But in June my primary care physician did blood tests, and discovered that my hemoglobin was half of normal, that I was bleeding internally somewhere. Two months later, two hospital stays later, dozens of tests later, they found that my cancer had come back, and it was damaging one of my kidneys. And another month later and two more hospital stays, they found the duodenal ulcer that was causing the blood loss.

Was it caused by the stress of all that followed November 2016? The ulcer, definitely! The cancer, I'm not so sure. All I know for certain is that without Obamacare, I'd probably be dead by now. I can afford the $13,000 in 2016 health insurance payments, but the actual medical cost would have bankrupted me. Without the ACA, my preexisting condition would have barred me from purchasing health insurance. And every vote to repeal the ACA makes me worse.

Try some Hemlock, it will work better. Watching puppies on youtube? WTF are you 6 years old or gay?

30. I am British.

Lived through WW11, as a child. What I am going through now is so hard to deal with. I can see how dumb tRump is, even at the ripe old age of 82. Why can't the people who vote for the clown see through his bluff and bluster? Con artist and nude model "wife", lazy do nothing "kids" What a disgusting family to reside in the WH. I just want to live long enough to see all of them penniless and serving prison terms.

Survived the blitz in WWII but Trump is worse.

26. Anxiety here.

Medication for the times I think I'm going to die, and sadly, I'm seriously thinking about taking something like an SSRI, as doom may be imminent, and I am not coping well.

Yes! Now you are thinking with your head. Do it.

36. Yes.

2017 has been about the worst year of my life. Lots of depression and anxiety. Like someone above said, Trump's everywhere. You can't get away from him. He loves stirring things up.

45. I have not felt right since the 2016 election.

My spouse and I have even considered leaving the country but do not have the money to start over at our age. When I see them pass laws like the tax scam I get even more anxious because I thin it will trigger another bad recession. We have had one after every big corporate tax cut.

Delicious.

51. Yes, absolutely and it is taking a toll on my physical and mental health.

I have spoken to my therapist and doctors about it and they have said that it's an epidemic. They are overwhelmed by people who are complaining of stress, anxiety, depression and other physical & mental problems since Trump took office.

Only Liberals DUmmie only Liberals.

Hey come on DUmmies... how do you expect to stay woke, AND be trapped in your safe spaces??

I certainly don't remember any conservatives throwing tantrums or having health issues b/c we had the worst POTUS ever and whose decisions (well, his handlers' decisions -- obozo never made an importtant decision in his life) hurt America on a daily basis.

Instead we just Dealt With It.  That is what grown-ups do.

I am still hoping the left does a mass suicide, especially since the tax cut will help so many of them and they will not be able to deal with the cognitive dissonance

What amazes me is their willingness to go on a public forum and admit they are f**ked up.  How big of a loser do you have to be to do that?

Was WW11 the one where Antarctica attacked Cape Horn? Or when the Banana Republic was nuked?

It should be televised. You know, for effect.

Beat me to it. Never thought I’d live to see the day where we were discussing World War Eleven.
