Are you still grieving? You are not alone.

[AFTT47]

My method of coping has been to detach. I don't look at the news websites any more and don't discuss anything remotely like politics with anyone. I try hard to avoid learning the political opinions of co-workers and neighbors because I know if I learn they supported Trump, they will be vermin in my eyes. I don't see Trump supporters as people with different opinions but as enemies of humanity. They are defective units to me, cancer cells. The only way to avoid constant feelings of disgust and anger for me is to just detach from anything political. It might work for you as well.

I tried this last month and failed.  Where I'm struggling is that I can't read anything without seeing it brought up somewhere in the story or comments, it seems. Article about how some person overcame hardship and triumphed!  Comments are political bashing.
Well, it is still good advice.  FB just has to go,  I hate it anyway, and I cannot stand it now.  I cleaned up my feed so I don't see the trolls, and I still cannot look at it, because even those who agree with me are suffering and going on about it constantly, so that's no help.

Not looking at it won't make it go away, but it's certainly one way of coping with it, since I cannot change anything about it.

No more FB
Only mafia on here, I suppose.
I never talk politics in RL anyway (outside of talking with my hubby or brother), so no problem there.

Is it actually helping you, or do you still feel angry even when not looking at stuff about it?  Also, do you struggle not to look?

It has definitely helped me. I'm not angry when I'm not thinking about it and I just don't think about it much. It's somewhat difficult to avoid news in general but I do it because I know no good will come of looking at it. It helps that I have lots of interests. I just focus elsewhere. I don't know if it's self-discipline or just pain avoidance. You don't stick your hand in a fire because you know it hurts, right?
