ILiveInFlipFlops Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) I'm right there with you. I've joked for weeks about drinking my way to the final result tonight, but frankly, I'm near tears. I think I'm just going to go to bed and let DH wake me with the news tomorrow. ETA: I'm assuming you're referring to current events. If you're not, then (((hugs))) to you. Either way, I'm sorry you're struggling.

Anne in CA Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 My 16yo dd saw me yelling at the TV and accused me of having too much wine, sooooo.

momacacia Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I'm finding my FB interesting. It's like folks on all sides are freaking and trying to stay calm. I've felt this way (okay I used to feel more this way) since I voted in my first general election at 19. Maybe I'm just old and tired now. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) I tried to go to sleep once already. Trying again. I stopped trying and am drinking coffee :o My family member's race won't post results until at least 9 pm AKST, so it's going to be a late night after a full day of the national drama.

PinkTulip Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 OP here. I'm not saying one way or another how I feel about how the election is going currently, I'm just saying that the nail-biting closeness is giving me anxiety. I may or may not be happy with the final result, but I am ready for this night to be over and know how everything shakes out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneezyone Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) My spouse is active duty. I have very real fears about the national security of the country as well as the safety of my family in the states. Racists have regained legitimacy. The last time that happened, people like me suffered grave harm. Edited November 9, 2016 by Sneezyone 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
