Pre-Debate Anxiety

Jon Krause

Maybe by the time you’re reading this, the first 2016 Presidential debate will be over and we’ll be breathing a collective sigh of relief. Our country has been brought back from the brink. But right now, with less than 2 hours away, my heart is racing, my stomach churning. A group of friends are gathering together for a debate “party” to eat comfort food, drink alcohol and lend each other support. I wish us all (and the nation) well.

    I’m staying away from it. It won’t influence my vote and it might make me angry. I don’t drink on a school night, so I won’t have that to calm me!

  2. Leyla says:

    I couldn’t sleep after the debate. I think it exacerbated my anxiety.

    The debate had to have been the one thing more repulsive than Monday Night Football! I watched neither.
