Anyone else anxious about this election....

[Phoenixess]

Im literally rattling my leg cant stop shaking think its nervous energy turned into excitement i really have no idea what will happen

[nomorepanic]

Nope not at all - nothing ever changes so why worry

It all depends on how your anxiety works. Mine was affected by things such as this but I've sorted those elements out long ago and it no longer does. But it's about the foundations of anxiety; change & uncertainty. And this election is quite an important one due to the EU referendum (which was an even bigger vote).

But as Nic says so much doesn't actually change around us and on goes the usual BS that is Parliament with all that changes is the colour of the party who is moaning at the failings of the other one.

Except for this election, which is actually pretty sinister.

The Tories are in, the NHS is fvcked. It IS different this time.

Once I realised the way things were heading, I had real trouble sleeping last night. I know life goes on, but this time I'm scared.

I can't understand why people don't see what's going on. This isn't about conspiracy theory, they're not even hiding what they're about to do very much.

I'm staggered at the lack of awareness.

It really does feel like the proverbial turkeys voting for Christmas.

As a good friend of mine said recently -

"It's like commiting suicide in order to outwit an imaginary assailant"

The NHS is already in bits and on the verge of collapse. I'm afraid gradual privatisation by stealth will be advanced as the bitter pill to save it.

It's in bits because of chronic underfunding by the Tories. It has been dismantled piece by piece and presented as an entity that needs saving. The Brexit deal pushes through policies that ensure that there will be no trade opposition to US health insurance companies coming in and picking the meat off the bones.

If you understand how the US health system works, you'll understand that they haven't even started fvcking with the NHS properly yet.

You all need to be ready to pay a grand a month to keep your kids healthy, but not as healthy as they would have been under the old NHS.
