9. Take a break

Don't give up, but take care of yourself. Maybe check in to the lounge on DU so your friends here won't worry ( after all, we're in the same boat, and we don't need more worry). But you and your wife both sound like you need a break. Touch some grass, watch a funny show or movie, something fun that does not involve the psychopaths ruining our country.

Alternately, try to join a physical protest or action somewhere. Hang out with some like minded people who are DOING something. That's my daughter's coping mechanism. It works for me too but lately I've been too sick so I've resorted to meditation, prayer, yoga.... and I need breaks from the news sometimes.

Seriously, we can't vote if the stress kills us.
