And I've noticed other DUers are experiencing similar fears/panics/sleep loss. My neighbor, a retired architect who lectured at Yale, is glumly predicting a loss to Trump next month. I'm scared to check in with my son, who feels she understands his position, as a fellow prosecutor and a strong Democrat. I'm checking in tomorrow with my daughter whose husband is a Democratic political consultant in Boston. My husband is very quiet lately and glumly watches the news and doesn't want to talk politics.

So you are not alone....
