    Post election anxiety- Please help

    Hi. I'm new on the site, but i figured I'd give this a go.

    I'm sixteen. I've been dealing with undiagnosed GAD for the past few years and was only recently diagnosed when I began having panic attacks. Then my GAD got much worse. Previously, it was health anxiety. Now, I'm scared to death of the results of the presidential election. Thinking about Donald Trump being president makes me want to throw up from how scared I am. I can't sleep. I've been crying all day. My family is relatively unsympathetic. I don't know what to do. I'm so afraid that he is going to start a nuclear war, or put us all in danger, or get us nuked because he says something that makes another country angry. I'm tearing up just writing this. I'm young, and I really don't want to die before I've had a chance to live.

    I can't focus on my acting, or my school work, or pretty much anything else. Any words of wisdom or advice or calming would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
