coping with politics

Submitted By: dwieb1@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Found an earlier article that does a good job of reporting on people coping with the election:

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/dec/02/trump-protest-fatigue

And there’s a section labeled “Managing anxiety around political news” in an even earlier article:

theconversation.com/dealing-with-election-anxiety-a-psychiatrist-explains-how-to-channel-your-fears-and-break-out-of-tribal-thinking-235623

I hope this is helpful, and if so please pass it along,
