Since a fair few people are taking these election results pretty fucking badly, I'm just going to leave this here.

You can even call 911 if you feel you can't be left alone. Anybody in the medical field will tell you that being a suicide risk is very much a medical emergency.
Just keep going, yeah? Nothing is over.
I am thinking we should forward this to hillary.
It doesn't really have me suicidal. Despair, fuck yes, but am I going to kill myself over it?
...Maybe. It took brain surgery to make me not the first time, and I don't know the rules well enough to determine if migrating to Canada will seriously impact my ability to get a replacement battery implanted at Mayo Clinic when my current one fails.
I suppose there's flying a Cessna into the DC capital building, but I highly doubt it would fly fast enough to make it.
That people are so indoctrinated in their religions...that they care more about unborn babies than they do insuring those currently living can live in peace, in a comfortable home, working a decent job and a decent wage, not having to fear getting sick...
I'm disowning myself from my family. I can't take another Thanksgiving, another Christmas holding my tongue with these people who by their very choices and values tell me I'm better off dead.

But yeah, the holidays are going to suck shit. And yeah, I have no idea what those of us with medical conditions are supposed to do now -- I've got anti-seizure pills and an SSRI I need to take every day, and I know from experience that I don't function without them. Options are going to present themselves, but they're going to be inferior stopgaps that we're going to hate.
