Sad

I think everyone has heard now that we are transitioning to a new president. I hate what comes after the elections. People out there hurling insults at each other for who they voted for. This has made me sad and now i want to be invisible. I have thot about dropping out of healthunlocked even tho I really need this. I feel my health has turned a corner or my depression has gotten the best of me. There are several people I absolutely love on here and I will sorely miss them if I leave. All of them have helped me in their own way or I have been trying to help them. I'm at a low right now. Sad. No emotion. In pain that providers think I am perfectly fine. I woke up at 4a.m. (US) and have been like this since I woke. One person I have talked to has no one and i tried my best to help. It's hard when you don't live near them. So I have to make a decision soon what to do. I know I need to see a doctor for my health. Thisisnt going to be a life or death situation. I'm scared to die anyways. So I'm good there.

Hello

I live in the UK and have been watching the election where you are for days in amazement as it is so different from how ours works here

The one thing we do have in common is when the results come in there is always people arguing , going on and on and again I sit and think why ? what will this achieve , these are the results if we like them or not , the choice has been made arguing , throwing our toys out the pram will not change a thing so we best just get on with it !

Regretfully others don't always seem to have that attitude but when it feels it is upsetting you , this is what I would do , laugh at them knowing they are wasting their time , ignore them now they are wasting their time , switch of the TV when they are reporting about it and if anyone approaches you about it for an opinion just simply say you are so sick of hearing about it that you would love to talk about something else instead ....what can someone say to that , you have to talk about it ?

We will never control others or how they act but we can control how it affects us so take back that power you have to not let them make you low and just let them get on with it knowing eventually they will get fed up and move on to something else

Sometimes when we feel low we feel that certain things are not helping and it seems you have had some great support on here and maybe some that has not been as helpful , but you take the good that has helped and leave the not so good behind , leaving altogether wil be a source of support you will be giving up by some that have been doing so and I think we need all the support we can get especially when we are down , so maybe while you feel this way do not do anything ?

Keep your account but maybe not use it till you feel in a better place where you know what is helping you the most

Sounds like a brilliant idea speaking to your Doctor and I would do this as soon as you can

Let us know how you get on

Take Care x

Yes, we have been going through this division in the UK since the Brexit vote and its horrible. Now we are suffering from a North South divide and a very divisive government. Some of us are really envious that you have now got the chance of a fresh start. Can you think of it as such?..........you cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs?

I guess it isn't so much about the election. I didn't vote as I did not think either men were competent enough for the job. I guess that was added stressed to my other problems. I hope this country straightens out. Just families are dividing up because of this. Just felt down for what ever reasons. Hoping to snap out of it. We'll see.

I know how you feel. It is a stressful time for everyone!

Please don’t leave healthunlocked! It’s a great support group 😀

Thank you for your words. Still not sure what to do.

It really helps having support on this app and giving it to others as well makes me feel better. This app helped me a tremendous amount when I was at my lowest! I felt so alone but the fact that others could relate made me feel a lot better.

The election has been over now for three weeks. The now President been having states do recounts. I'm not a sure why people like him since he is a bully. He is acting childish and he is in his 70's. I don't know if the new guy will be any better as he has a questionable background but he has been the same one so far. The now President is looking for ways to stay in power. Says the election has been rigged. Him or his crazy lawyer have not produced a shred of evidence. I didn't vote as I don't think either one was any good. But they were the only two that were running that had any chance to win. God save the people.
