2. I'm so very sorry that you are so stressed, not that I blame you in the least

There are times after I've had an evening of upsetting news that I watch something like Dick Van Dyke or Mary Tyler Moore so I can at least sleep. And I sure can sympathize since I was a pretty good history student and what's going on now is not the America I know - everything is upside down, the lawbreakers are running the government which makes no sense to me and I keep waiting for those "good guys" who have some power to do something. Though to put it in perspective, I figure if I feel this bad, how must Joe Biden or Barack Obama feel? They did the right thing.

Please, please hang in there, you're not alone. In fact you're among the majority.
