How Is The Current Status Of The Government Affecting Your Health Emotionally And Physically?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question πŸ’­

As much as I try to avoid the news, I still watch some to see what is happening in the rest of the world or the country. But everyday as I learn more about what is happening due to our current administration I find myself beginning to lose hope. Actually spiraled into a deeper depression which is not good for my physical status.

Wondered how other's are dealing with this?

Last year when this administration won, I began my therapy . it caused me a lot of anxiety .today I no longer look at this administrations" news as factual. unfortunately, this administration has based it's platform on false information. therefore it does not affect me as it did last year . I read up on the current state of affairs, using reliable news agencies.I am relieved however that aids funding and Ryan White funding has not been touched , for that I am grateful. these days , I rather read a book than listen to the US political news BUT I still support politicians that embrace the lgbtq and HIV community.

Well the only answer to this problem is that everyone who is sick and embarrassed of the monster who is running a mock in the white house and little by little taking away our SERVICES AND RIGHTS AS AMERICANS WE NEED & DESERVE. if you want to SEE CHANGE get up and VOTE and let YOUR VOICE BE HEARD IN ALL ELECTIONS! and if you're to lazy to vote at a polling place then use your right to vote absentee and do your civic duty & VOTE!! UNITED WE STAND OR DIVIDED WE WILL CONTINUE TO FALL.

I've never felt so bad as I do under current admin. Such division like I've never known.

It can be very frustrating to know that we have a bully running the country into the ground, ya know, we all may not agree, all the time but why can't they just reach some kind of agreement for the sake of the country and the people who live here.
