Anyone else dread waking up to new drama?

Every day, I wake up and instead of being happy and content, I go downstairs, turn on the radio and hold my breath thinking, "ok, what now?"

I'm sick of the feeling in my stomach and heart when I hear that there's a new tweet, a new denial, a new insult or a new fight.

Please make it stop

Everyday! This has been our routine for the past 2 weeks. We have Amazon Alexa read us the headlines while we lay in bed and dh and I start the day off with "ugh", "this can't even be real" , "when are they going to impeach his ass". Than dh starts yelling at me to get our girls passports started because we may need to get out of here!

Yes, I was saying that just this morning. I wake up every day with a pit in mu stomach wondering what new bullsh!t will be on the docket today.

I get a headache from all of this.

Re: Anyone else dread waking up to new drama?

I don't want to listen to the news or read the papers.
I can't deal with all the bull$hit anymore. I don't know whether to be afraid, worried or praying that everything will be ok.

While I do want to be aware of what is going on in the world, I don't want to hear the Chief Jackass cry like 4 year old having the worst temper tantrum of their life and be so defensive about every freakin negative thing said/posted about him.
He put Iran on notice , via social media ? What world leader does something like that ?
Everyone thought Kim Jong-un is crazy, Chief Jackass here is even worse.
He posted on FB that The Arnold is dragging down he ratings of The Apprentice. That's what is so important right now ?
Are his social media accounts secure, or are they the same as HRC using a private server to read government e-mails ? He is talking about other foreign leaders in social media.

I have never in my life been embarrassed to be an American.
Growing up I was embarrassed to be German, now I am embracing my heritage and my EU passport.

Every damn day. It never stops. It's a new, horrific reality.

Same here. I had to stop reading everything and take a step back from it all. I seriously considered even taking a break from FB. Once I decided to stop obsessively checking everything, the stress eased up. I still hear about the big stuff that happens, but it's not the constant barrage of doom and gloom.

Re: Anyone else dread waking up to new drama?

The past few days I swear that I'm not going to obsessively check.

I keep lying to myself. I can't get away from it.

My mom will be visiting us for a few days, arriving today. I can't wait to have her here...it'll be a good break from the craziness for a bit. I'll still check in on the news, but we'll be busy doing some fun stuff.

Gotta live. It could all be taken away tomorrow.

Re: Anyone else dread waking up to new drama?

Unbelievably so. I've never seen this much drama before.

Re: Anyone else dread waking up to new drama?

I always wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and I do check my phone in the hopes that the impeachment process has started.
