Z*g and I don't like each other at all but she's absolutely right about you Annabella. You DO dump and run; you are a vapid bitch. She did say something very upbeat and of course, you had to come in and shit on it because that's what you do. Oh, I don't know about not liking you. We disagree all the time but we've been coexisting long enough that I see your good points too. And I love when you share your coloring.

Some of the responses on this thread are exactly why I'm not ok.
Sure, I included some general worries in my post (because they're true for me), but what has me really distressed is the emotional impact of all this. People who have felt the remarks personally. People who have had personal relationships affected. And there are a lot of them!
So much disrespect and hatred that I just don't understand. I know I live in a bubble; I also knew this stuff was out there. I just had no idea how widespread it was (on both sides).

Mentally I am drained. Physically my blood pressure is literally going through the roof. I know it is, as per my Drs orders on Monday morning I have to monitor it several times a day over the next 2 weeks, as they are looking for signs of pre-eclampsia rearing its ugly head. This morning when I took it it was 162/111. It has come down a bit since then. My latest was 132/88. Not great, but not as terrifying as that first reading. I need to be done reading and posting here and reading on Facebook/Twitter, but I can't seem to help myself. I like posting here because it gives me an outlet to say things I cannot/will not say on Facebook. I also like to read everyone else's stories and opinions about what is happening/what has happened. But I realize I might need to say goodbye for a while. Your safety and your baby's safety has to be your priority. Contragulations, BTW!!

Don't forget to wipe after that dump you left. I'd hate for you to get any shit on your Bebe dress. THEN how would you be able to be the Pea style icon? You're straight up trash. I don't wear Bebe, not that there's anything wrong with it? Pop some more valium and calm down, being rabid isn't a good look for anyone. Read your post history and you'll see for yourself. Lauren always pops up to say ITA when someone doesn't like me. You're in great company ZG with Lauren and Freebird, the bottom of the barrel here of crazy people.

Just trying to make it to 36 weeks like I did with 2 of my 3 other kids. I have 7 more weeks to go. Looking like a Christmas baby!

I get riled if I'm falsely accused of something, but I should have considered the source AND I should have remembered Michelle Obama's words: When they go low, we go high. After all, I know I didn't say that, so there's actually nothing to get all het up about. I must still be annoyed about my cheap coral workout gear.

Nope. Not even close.
I decided to officially register as a Democrat. It will absolutely not mean a damn thing to anyone but me but it's my personal eff off to Donald Trump and in some small way, it makes me feel better. Then I am going to volunteer with Michigan Democrats. A pissed off woman is a terrible thing to waste. 😂😀

No I am not but it has nothing to do with the election. Yes. Same for me. Some very terrible things have happened and continue to happen to me in the last couple of years. Things that I have absolutely no control over but will never change. Things that are too personal to share *everything*. I remain quiet about it and avoid people IRL because it's just too hard. This board is no longer a safe place to vent. You can't be honest when someone starts a thread and says how do you feel? What's your life like? If you're nothing but positive, you're told to get over yourself, stop thinking that way. Their life is hard, but because their positive it doesn't matter, *anything is possible*. Yet, the circumstances of my life is so far beyond what they say, it's hard to "get over it". It's not constant threads started by me either to get attention. I'm answering how I feel on a thread started by someone else and told to just be happy, stop thinking that way, don't say that about yourself. I used to come here feeling like it mattered when I had a personal problem. Lesson learned. That was a long winded response and I understand the intent of the OP is nothing but kind, but if you give too much information, it comes back to bite you.

I appreciate your comment. It is hard not to defend ourselves. I've dealt with that very thing IRL for the past year and it sucks. Big hairy monkey balls sucks.

This morning my DD called me from college. She was so upset she was crying. She spent several hours last night talking with a sister in Ind. The young woman is gay and she's afraid of what will happen to her and others now that Pence is VP. Dd tried to calm her down, tried to help her think things thru, and she thought she had succeeded in at least getting her thru the night.
This morning DD found out that sometime after hanging up with DD, the woman attempted suicide. Her sorority sisters on campus were aware of her distress and were staying close in case she needed help. They noticed she had left the room and went to check on her; they were able to get her help before it was too late.
My DD is terrified of what a Trump presidency may mean. I told her that he can only do so much without the support of Congress, and that he will need some time to get settled in before he does anything drastic. I didn't tell her I spent the night trying to figure out how her dad and I could pay our mortgage and the insurance premiums that we will have to pay if the ACA goes away. Even if we didn't get the subsidy that we've gotten since our income dropped following DH's stroke, the premiums thru ACA are still $1000/month cheaper than thru KP direct. If the insurance companies are given the chance to drop or refuse t insure due to pre-existing conditions, we are screwed. She didn't need to hear that, so I didn't share it.
I'm worried, but I'm hoping that something good will come of this. Not sure what it could be, but maybe.

Find the posts, quote them, and you'll see you're wrong. Until you can do that, shut your hole. Do you listen yourself talk? What's wrong with you? With which part are you taking umbrage? You made an accusation; back it up. Shouldn't be too difficult.

No. I am saddened and shocked. My sister has a pre existing heart conditions. I'm worried for her and my parents. I have a gay brother. I'm worried for him. I'm worried for minorities, like myself. I worry for Muslims and women and pretty much the whole country of America.
I would love for Trump to surprise us and show us what he can do. He has been given a huge responsibility and I only hope he will better our country.

I'm just worried. I have three daughters. I am worried about the messages this country thinks it is okay to teach and I'm afraid I can't unteach it. For example, the racism, the bigotry, the sexism. It's just not okay. While I'd like to think that the people who defend Trump's words are really just worried about their own personal investment. But I'm worried. I'm worried about the Supreme Court setting the country back 35 years. I'm worried that women will continue to be treated as second class Americans. I'm worried that my 4th grader really thinks her school is going to be segregated and a wall will be built. I'm worried that every black person I came in contact with today assumed I voted for Trump JUST because I am an educated white woman. I just want to shout, NO! None of the HATE that was part of his platform or part of his supporter's platform are my views at all.
So go be the President Mr. Trump but this crap you spew about "bringing us together" can't happen when you separate us with hate.

My heart is breaking for my students who are afraid they or their family will be deported. My heart breaks and I am full if anger at the student who snap chatted or texted or whatever to some of our Hispanic students that they should get the hell out of the country before they get kicked out.
I HOPE Trump pulls it in and is diplomatic with other countries.
He is my president elect and while I hate the man and all he seems to stand for, I will respect the office and pray for our country.

Mentally I am drained. Physically my blood pressure is literally going through the roof.

I like posting here because it gives me an outlet to say things I cannot/will not say on Facebook. I also like to read everyone else's stories and opinions about what is happening/what has happened. But I realize I might need to say goodbye for a while. This pretty much sums up how I feel (although I am not pregnant lol). I have been doing deep breathing all day to try to get my heart rate to feel normal and trying to keep my mind from dwelling on negative thoughts. So far it isn't helping much. I am sure that time (and sleep) will help but for now, I am struggling. Like Z*G said, there is all the time in the world to worry. I am trying not to worry about what could happen now. I am mostly feeling sad, angry, and disappointed. This article explains how I am feeling very well. johnpavlovitz.com/2016/11/09/heres-why-we-grieve-today/?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=facebook_page&utm_medium=John+Pavlovitz&utm_content=Here%27s+Why+We+Grieve+Today

I could have wrote this word for word. I am not ok most of my friends are not okay. I can only hope that the live that we all share will help heal soon. Someone on another board asked if everyone was ok today. Here was my response.
How about you? Are you ok?
