So I find my mood swinging between feeling like a kid on Christmas Eve

[dflprincess]

to wondering if this is how Ann Boleyn felt the night before her execution.

Anyone else?

1. It is a rollercoaster. For at least a week.

It is exhausting emotionally and mentally.

2. I'm not quite at the Christmas Eve level tonight

But I'm definitely not at the Boleyn point either. I guess what I feel is a sense of calm. My terror of the possibility of a Trump reelection was squashed during a no-sleep night on Saturday.

Every night, before I close my eyes, I repeat the mantra - Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will win. We will take back the Senate and hold the House.

Hang in there dflprincess!

3. I think I will use your mantra tonignt to lull myself to sleep

along with a visualization of Joe taking the oath.

4. I feel like the entire country is waiting

for the results of a biopsy.

5. It reminds Me, Ma'am

Of some passages during my adventurous youth. Spells of danger that could not be controlled. balanced against possible outcomes of an extremely desirable sort....

9. Right now, 2016 PTSD has set in...

Whereas, before, I could look at the numbers and say we’ve got this, right now, I’m emotionally expecting a replay of four years ago.

12. My husband watched the Southpark episode

About 2016 election tonight, I had never seen it before and everything they had the cartoon Trump like guy say was just the way he is and was. They were so right.

The worse the guy got the more people wanted to vote for him in the show and in real life and now look what we have...hopefully enough woke up and changed.

11. I've Been On A Similar Rollercoaster

For as long as I can remember, I've been excited to the point of giddiness. I began counting down the days well over a month ago. I was literally just like a kid before Christmas. Then sometime around Saturday or so, I was overtaken by this horrible feeling of nervousness. I'm not sure what brought it on, but I felt it all weekend. Today I'm closer to that feeling of excitement again, but there is just a touch of nervousness still there (some leftover PTSD from 2016, I'm assuming).

I've been obsessively watching polls every day for the last month, and when that feeling of nervousness crept in, going back to the polls helped calm me down a bit. Reading a lot of what's on this site has helped calm me as well. I overwhelmingly believe that Joe's got this, but again, that PTSD from last time won't let go.

I honestly believe we'll know that Joe has won this before I go to bed tomorrow night (I go to bed late, and I'll probably stay up until either a winner is declared or I'm told unequivocally that there will be no winner declared tonight). So I will remain prepared to go out into the street to dance (I promised to literally dance in the streets if Joe won, and I plan on keeping my promise).
