How do you deal with Bush-related stress? |
|
Every time I get too mad, I think: he'll only be there 4 more years! And hopefully he'll have to resign before then.
I have to think that way, because things aren't looking very good right now.

1. I share your same feelings |
|
I've been bitter about the election...more about the additions in the Congress than W. But I keep thinking somehow this will get overturned..after 06.

2. I'm an optimist and I'm still concerned |
|
The Democrats are still not united after all this time.

6. I don't deal with it very well. |
|
I hang out with people who share my frustrations and we talk about it a lot. I can't stand being around * supporters or those who don't care about all the damage that's being done.
I wake up each morning hoping "today's the day" that * gets busted, or goes too far and people revolt.
Could happen.

10. I've been restructuring my life. |
|
I've been adding more and more liberals to our circle of friends. We've started going to this great UU church (extremely liberal!!!). I've been giving as much as I can to progressive causes and organizations, that makes me feel better. We've also been planning a move (a few years off) to a much more liberal city but that is still in this state (Austin).
And when I'm feeling immature, I intentionally provoke and piss off repukes. And it always works.

11. I'd take up drugs or drinking, but |
|
I don't think either my body or my budget could handle it.
So I am not dealing well. Anxiety meds and nightmares. And hoping something will bring this bunch of criminals down before they've entirely destroyed our country.

and listening to Air America. It reassures me that I'm not alone. I also change the channel whenever he's on TV, he disgusts me so. I cannot take his fake accent and phony cowboy "sincerity" act. Bleh. It never ceases to amaze me that so many fall for it.

15. I remind myself that... |
|
My daughter is going to graduate college to a Bush free world. (2009)
I have friends who understand how bad things are, too.
The majority of the world knows what is going on the US.
There are still others who are fighting the good fight.
I imagine how history will portray Bush.
When all else fails I do like I did last night, invite a group of friends over and take an oath just to have fun and be silly.
