Hi fam,

After the results of this week’s presidential election, it’s safe to say we’re not ok. Here’s how we’re attempting to cope with the post-election feels.

When you're grieving a loss, anger can be a natural part of it. Give yourself permission to feel every ounce—just remember to notice where it sits in your body. Even if it feels unproductive, it’s a release.

When processing feels overwhelming, embrace a little escapism. Binge that comfort show, lose yourself in a game, or scroll until you can't scroll anymore. Just don’t be surprised if things are waiting for you afterward.

Sometimes, it’s easier to disconnect than to force social time. Allow yourself to cocoon, even if it’s not “healthy.” Listen to your mind; if you need isolation, honor that in the short term.

If it feels helpful, do something that gives a sense of control, even if it’s on the messy side—like reorganizing your entire closet at 2 a.m. or throwing out old stuff you don’t need. It’s a way to reclaim a bit of power.

Giving up on things like a tidy space or perfect routines can feel liberating when you’re overwhelmed. Allow yourself to let go in small ways, so you can recharge at your own pace, in your own time.

No matter what, our community will continue advocating for the mental health and wellbeing of all people. If you need support, reach out. If you need to rage, reach out. If you need to take action, reach out. We’re here for you.
