I deleted all of my social media apps from my phone because of the election results. News apps have been deleted as well. This may sound extreme to some people, but my mental health is still trying to heal after the whole Ozempic fiasco. 

I always try to be informed of current events. Right now, I need a break. I’ve been doing fine without doom-scrolling Instagram or the news. I distract myself by watching TV shows from when I was growing up. Work is getting a little busier so that helps, too. 

The results of the election could affect my family and me. Our livelihood, our well-being, our survival. 

Never underestimate the power of a large group of stupid people.
