I'm still stuck in my head about how to bring up the state of the world as a point of anxiety. I kinda hinted at it but didn't really get anything from her.
If anyone has any advice on this, I could use some. Is the thing to do just to say "look, a major point of anxiety for me is that Donald Trump is President. I need to know if I can talk to you about that"?

@leafnoodle I definitely know I'm not alone, but it's also just. I left one therapist in part because their reaction to that was "things won't be as bad as they seem" and I never felt comfortable expressing that afterwards. And now I'm haunted by the fear that the person I'm confiding in might think the very things that make it difficult for me to find hope and get out of bed in the morning are a *good thing*
