Re: I think I'm suffering from political depression...
Well I can relate even though I'm on the other end of the spectrum, but I hope I can still offer some encouragement. I'm a conservative Hispanic female that lives in California (super liberal state) and for many years I felt political depression because my views don't match the views of a lot of my friends and family. The great thing about our country is that every four years, there is hope for change if you are upset with the current situation. Sometimes our candidate wins and sometimes they lose, but rest assured that any President who is elected is occupying a TEMPORARY position that is chosen by the great citizens of this country.
You have to stay positive by living the best life you possibly can.. always sharing your beliefs and morals with your children, staying active in the campaigns and issues that are most valuable to you. It's important instead of letting depression sink in, to give your time and money to the causes you believe in. Stay focused on what is most important to you! Don't spend too much time watching politics or reading articles if it's causing you more strife. Stay out of those social media arguments that just end up giving you a migraine. Keep your head up and remember to take care of yourself!
