And their desperation at this point is so upsetting. I just completely ignore them because I can't directly respond anymore. They believe he is going to win.

Y'all, I think maybe this election cycle is having a negative effect on my mental health.
Yeah, you're not alone. I'm really looking forward to being on the other side of the world to escape from it a little.
I think it's Trump that's messing me up, not so much fear of him possibly winning. All the reports of
sexual assault
and the way some awful people are responding to them. (Whatever the truth may be, hearing about Bill's affairs never hit me this way.) I'm shaking, on the verge of tears and barely able to concentrate, constantly. My nerves are so short I can't stand noise. I don't want to leave the house. This is bad.
I don't have anyone to talk to. I see the new shrink again in a week. Just hold on, I guess, what else can I do?
I only know about this because they sponsor podcasts, but some online therapy could get you through to your shrink appointment? [link]
I'll think about that, Jesse, thanks. I never heard of them before!
There's also something called 7 Cups of Tea that's an online (and/or app-based) therapy thing, but I've never tried them, either.
Baking opinions needed: I'm making a cake right now for a shindig tomorrow night. It gets a glaze (made with powdered sugar and a little milk) drizzled over it. Normally I make a cake and it gets eaten the same day. But since it's not getting eaten for almost 24 hours, should I wait until tomorrow to put the glaze on? I'm afraid if I do it tonight the cake will get soggy. Or is that crazy?
Maria, much ~ma to Lucky. I hope she'll be all right.
Tep, I'd glaze tonight. Unless it's a crazy amount of glaze, it should just set up nicely.
Maria, best of luck for Lucky.
