Negative Politial Ads and Your Mental Health

How are you doing with all of the negative political ads that have hijacked the airwaves lately? Personally, I am so sick of them that I mute the TV no matter who comes on saying what. It is so sad that our country deteriorates in this way every time an election comes around. I think that for people who are already struggling with depression, anxiety, addictions of all kinds and stress of all kinds, it is just too much to deal with!!
Negativity of any kind is a tremendous stressor and is both a symptom and a result of depression and being "stressed-out to the max!"
I find the ads to be unbelieveably confusing and I think that's what the ad writers want. They must believe that if they just bombard you enough that when you go to vote you'll remember their candidates name in the best light and vote accordingly. Soon, it will all be over and hopefully the hostility and name-calling will begin to fade into the past! But, there's got to be a better way!!
See you this week!
