Welcome to election week—the week I have been dreading for SO long. I have so many different flavors and shapes of anxiety right now, I don’t even want to list them out. What’s worse is, I don’t think any of the possible election outcomes are going to completely wash away my worries. There is a lot to be scared of and sad about right now and there are no quick fixes.

How are you holding up? What are you doing to keep the dread at bay?
