5. I need a Xanax the size of a football!

My Prim Care doctor (he also a Dem who hates tRump) was forewarned by me over 1 year ago that the "stress from tRump" was killing me and I'd predicted I would drop even more weight...and I did. I know myself pretty well by now (63 years old). I have had what he described as "industrial strength insomnia" since 2016, when he became my Prim Care doctor. He is pissed off that I'm dropping weight but I told him I was not kidding over a year ago. He told me to do what most people do to relax and sleep..."drink alcohol". I thought he was kidding but he wasn't.

I've smoked weed before going to bed for decades so that is not a cure but it does help me sleep a tiny bit better.

I am very sensitive and my mind and body are not happy with this ongoing BS for 10 years.

I'm surprised more people aren't experiencing what I am going through to tell you the truth.
