Does Anybody Have Some New Coping Techniques?

Posted on by Mountain Mary

It is a beautiful fall day in Colorado: but I am sitting here trying to decide whether my symptoms are more anxiety or depression, or both. FEAR, for sure. Sometimes this all seems like a dream: how there could exist the real possibility that a Muslim Socialist with ties to a domestic terrorist and an America hating pastor, can be on the brink of becoming our next President: not to mention his inexperience, dishonesty and far left liberal ideas. I find myself being afraid for our country: for our liberties and the democratic principles that we hold so dear. I made the mistake of watching George Snuffalufagas this morning. He and the libs on his panel talked briefly about the election but they kept saying "when"(he takes office) instead of "if" when they referred to Zerobama. Newt(yes, our NEWT) predicted a McCain loss unless something turns around and soon. George Will, who seems to have abandoned his Conservative beliefs of late, just looked depressed. THEN, they went on to other topics..just like there wasn't really anything more to say about the election cuz it's OVER! I want to ask you Freepers what coping skills are working for you right now: Mine are the following: 1. Turn off the MSM, and unfortunately, that includes Fox News, with the exception of Fox and Friends in the am, Greta(she's had great exposes on ACORN), Hannity and Colmes and Huckabee. O'Reilly is totally losing it: he told Laura Ingraham the other night that he has no problem with Obama, not to mention his abrasiveness and the way he uses his hands all the time is creepy. 2. Listen only to Rush, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham and Hannity on the radio. 3. Exercise: it gets the endorphins going. 4. Prepare and eat comfort food: I made soup today, 5. Stay on Conservative or Republican websites only. 6. Do something useful for your local McCain/Palin campaign: Make the dreaded phone calls, distribute lit, yard signs and the like. it will make you feel good and you can hang out with like minded people. I would like nothing better than to see those pearly whites of Nobama's disappear in anger and disbelief. And Mabelle has her dress already. Wonder if it can be returned to TJ Maxx! The lobster and champagne at the Waldorf Astoria is what really got me: The BO's are already celebrating! a $350 lunch. Makes me want to hurl. Please advise me of any other techniques you freepers have for getting through the next two weeks. But don't suggest drinking: I gave it up! Thanks, MM :)

I find that if I go out in the back yard and get in a little range time with my rifle I really feel better afterward. Maybe a little better prepared as well.

Quite an interesting vanity for somebody who’s a new poster.



To: Mountain Mary

Forunately we do not have to suffer the same anxiety suffered by those that despise Bush, Palin et al. A faith that YHVH remains in control and protects his own is a strength that can not be shaken. :-)

It was a $450 lunch...which I guess could go a long way to making anybody feel better! But since we don’t generally run in the $450 lunch circles, I suggest praying a lot. I am also trying to work on GOP campaign projects so at least Í’ll feel that I tried to stop this horror.



To: Mountain Mary

My hair has grown back since I stopped posting vanities.



To: Mountain Mary

No, I just listened to Chris Wallace sabotage McCain tonight. Thank you Fox news. Fair and Balanced. Now when will Obama be grilled like that? Wallace is a pussy. What a joke.

To: Mountain Mary

Volunteer to make phone calls for McCain. There are more supporters out there than the media would have you believe. Also, catch a live stream of a Palin rally whenever possible and attend one if she is near you. I don't usually have problems “coping” but if I did, I doubt I'd watch O’Reilly.



To: Mountain Mary

Turn the TV off. Turn the computer off. Put a good CD on, sing at the top of your lungs, and clean house. Works for me...sometimes. lol

I think Mccain handled Wallace just fine. We all know he won’t ask Obama about Ayers or the fact that he lied about taking public financing.

Go there. You'll feel better and may walk away a little better prepared.

I copied this from an earlier post I made to someone else that had pretty much the same problem.

Maybe it will help...maybe not.

But, I say this to you in all love. ************************************************************ I dont listen to the media and polls or most dims.

They all lie.

Propaganda...pure and simple... Look unto the Lord.

He has peace and contentment and every good gift. The evil one kills, steals and destroys everything in his path.

Only faith in the risen Savior will give you sustenance. It sounds so simple...but its the truth. Turn off tv and stop reading the negative stuff on FR.

Do good deeds and honor and walk with God, who is the God of love and mercy....then....LIVE!

Look at what God has given me/you and rejoice. God tells us in Joshua 1:7-9 to be strong and not to look at the things around you. Also in Mark 11:20-25.

Just simply obey his command to be strong and of good courage. Do not tremble or be dismayed. And trust Him to rule the day. We, as a nation of believers need to practice this........all the while keeping on our toes!

Being wise, to whats happening. God sent the nation of Israel in to fight these same kinds of people.....pagans. Those that dont serve God. And He said He would be with Israel as they fought their battles and He would rout the enemy. Sadly, a lot of folks think that God is just, the big man upstairs. And a lot of other euphemistic words. Well Scripture says He is a consuming fire.

Deuteronomy 4:24

For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. And it is the unrighteous that He comsumes. WE MUST TRUST HIM, UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES!!! I can do nothing else but this. And remember, this election is not over. We still have to vote. God bless you and yours in Jesus love, AMEN and AMEN!!!!!
