| MINNEAPOLIS — Once the election results are in, you might find yourself very happy or very disappointed, depending on the outcome. It may be difficult to mask how you are feeling when you are around your co-workers or people with whom you’d rather not talk politics. Dr. Linda Reiss, a psychologist in Minneapolis, said there will likely be some people who will experience a bit of post-election depression. In some cases, it extends beyond disappointment over the election results. Anger over a candidate or an issue winning or losing can subconsciously trigger

Comments: No kidding. Now I fully understand Bush Derangement Syndrome. Rush, the usual optimist, is not helping either.

I'm depressed and furious. Someone just walked in my office and said "it was a vote for sanity yesterday" and I b*tched him the h*ll out. I never do stuff like that. The jerk deserved it.

I'll click here a time or two but that's about all the media I can take for a while. We've got a pact that no news programs will be put on any TV until after Christmas. It'll be Mentalist reruns, cooking shows, QVC to get the Christmas Shopping done and Animal Planet. Maybe dive into the stack of movie CD's now and then.
We'll use this time for reflection and prayer that the next four years are survivable.

Of course we're depressed. Something is rotten in Denmark, or more accurately, OH.
Isn't it odd that Zero won by almost the exact percentage Romney was forecast to win? Kind of like Harry Reid's race in NV last time.
I really don't care if people think this is black helicopter, look at the pictures of crowd turn out the last week for Romney vs. Obama, and read about record high turn outs in R districts, and record low in college towns and D districts. Something stinks.

Shock sadness anger emptiness. A feeling of no where to go. Just listen for God. He will be there for you. We aren't promised happiness 100% here all the time. Figure out a way to get through it. We are grieving.
I've had to shut some family out too. Is it healthy? Self preservation is key.

Everyone who's tempted to depression needs to take all that energy and use it wisely as close to home as possible. Do something positive and do it NOW! And keeping doing positive things until the bad feelings pass. If you want to do political things, then get active in your local Republican party or school board or something where you can have a positive influence. Just think how things looked to your relatives during the Great Depression with no jobs, exploding government and FDR getting four terms. We're just starting FDR's 2nd term - let's try to prevent a 3rd.

Depressed? No - just angry with the 50% of the country that is so ignorant of our history, our traditions, our sacrifices and our heritage. They are no longer my countrymen. They are my enemies; the people who are trying to take away everything I've worked, sacrificed and fought for. Some of these people were my neighbors and friends. I can't bear to talk to them anymore. I may lose one of my closest friends of 40 years over this. I may never again talk to a couple of my siblings if they bring up this election. I may feel differently in a week, but I don't think so. This was a turning point in my life. I'm not going to change the way I feel. I won't put up with them anymore.

Someone suggested to me about flying the flag at half-staff - I said maybe we could take it nationwide on Inaugural day. Wanna do it?

Add incredulous to the list.
I can't believe the number of people I deal with are elated and thankful and convinced that the country was saved. They truly are taken in by Obama, and it's scary.
I also feel like I'm on the outside, looking in at a country and values I don't recognize.
I've also been feverish (have that bad cold everyone has been passing around), so I'm hoping I'll feel better soon.
Four years is a long time.

I decided I am not going to let these morons get me down. I had chest pain at work today. It was weird, not one person discussed what happened, not one. I was surprised. I work at a major retailer and upper management has to know this is going to be bad for us. It was surreal. I think we all have battle fatigue and I know that several of them voted for stupid. I unfriended all the libs on Facebook and have decided I do not need any of them, including a BFF from childhood, in my life.

Don't get depressed! It was a good run. Whites voted for Romney but just too many Hispanics, blacks and feminists listened to the Panderer in Chief with his lies and fear-mongering. There is no way for conservatism to win in the US until these selfish voters wake up to his lies. They are like drug addicts dependent on their entitlement fix and won't wake up until they hit rock bottom. Go Galt in survival mode now and get ready to strike back in 2016. I have a feeling that Benghazi isn't the end of Obama's screwups and the tea party isn't dead but will be more active. However, the SEIU thugs will also be more thuggish and a real civil war is in the brewing.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air.

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.
