Hey everyone!
I don't think anyone who lives in the US, or has friends in the US, is exempt from potential political burnout. Regardless of what your stance is, it has been a very emotional and draining time for everyone. While our support in this group may be limited as we don't allow political discussions, I still think it's important to give everyone the opportunity to find and use material needed to help you if you're feeling overwhelmed or struggling. You're not alone!

Good, caring, responsible people protect themselves from political burnout.
Effective responses to political and social concerns almost always take the form of a marathon, not a sprint. It is true that the political shifts we've lately experienced as a nation have made many political and social issues both more visible, and more urgent. Yet, such issues have always been with us, and have always been pressing. I believe when we care deeply about these issues, we also have a moral obligation to do all that we can to maintain our own health, strength and energy. You are valuable!
