all this government sh*t flaring anyone else up?

My POTS has been insane. I’m getting so dizzy, nearly passing out at work. I’m at the NIH, so I can’t exactly escape the news going on.

My stress is so bad. Period is a week late, fibro is acting up. All my symptoms have gotten so bad so quickly. Fearing for my ability to get medical care in the future, the state of Long COVID funding, etc has got me very dysregulated.

Please don’t reply with “just take a break from the news.” I genuinely can’t when it’s affecting my place of work, or when it’s affecting the people I love most in this world.
