First the first time in my life I'm truly afraid because I'm a woman and Of Mexican decent. I don't even know how I will explain this fuckery to my kids in the morning.

I have been in a fb feed with a cousins widow for the past month. She has repeatedly posted how she is concerned for people's attitudes after this election, and tonight she has been downright awful already. My first blocking may be about to happen. And I'm sick over this.
I'm growing older but not up. My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck, let the winds of time blow over my head. I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead.

Ive already unfriended about 8 people who were silent supporters, a few of whom are fucking immigrants! I keep refreshing FB like its a bad dream. And then there is a white dude explaining racism to a black friend. Because he totes understand it as he has experienced racism himself so don't dare she call them all deplorable racists. I can't even!
I feel like Im floating and I am not even drunk because Im pregnant

I feel kind of numb over this. Like it legitimately doesn't feel real.
I'm terrified for families of Mexican descent and pretty much all POC, and is he really going to start building a wall? Surely this can't be real? Surely this can't have happened?
On a selfish note this makes me even more afraid of my separation. I'm so scared of the health care aspect - what is going to happen with that now? This makes me want to move back to the UK so bad, but I can't.
We were so proud standing in line to vote yesterday morning.
And I'm really, really upset that we will probably never have a female president in our lifetime. I was so excited that my kids would grow up knowing they could be whatever they wanted to be.
I don't cry but I sobbed in H's arms last night. People voted for a man to run this country whose name they weren't even willing to say aloud in polling. The only thing making me even able to get out of bed this morning is that he's so crazy and hard to pin down on what he actually believe it's impossible to know what this means. I'm actually more concerned that there will still be republican senate control and obviously the Supreme Court seat is fucked. Like, checks and balances where now?
I just. I'm so fucking sick to my stomach. Im terrified for my LGBT sister and her girlfriend. I'm terrified for my sons future. I'm terrified for ever POC. I'm not leaving the house today almost purely out of fear (I realize this is an overreaction probably but fuck it. I'm overreacting)
I'm still in absolute shock. I keep writing & deleting. To make myself/ help everyone else BREATHE: think about how Alec Baldwin feels this am I am so disgustingly disappointed; it's a feeling I've never felt to this extent.
Priebus is on Today speaking of how Trump was "calm last night. He wasn't running around high-fiving..." BECAUSE HE WAS FREAKING THE PHUCK OUT HE HAS TO BE PRESIDENT NOW!!!!!
I'm scared. Beyond my fears for my friends and my daughter, beyond the racism, beyond the homophobia- I'm also afraid for our economy. I'm afraid for our schools. I'm afraid for the safety of our country as a whole. We've been so sheltered here from the realities of war and I'm terrified that will no longer be the case. I'm scared for everything. When I look at the future I can't see anything.

I seriously feel numb. I went to bed a bit before it was called but it already seemed to be going that way and I thought when I woke up the news would have magically gotten better overnight. It didnt. I honestly didn't think this would be the outcome. I'm pretty devastated right now.
I think numb is exactly how to sum up how I feel. We have to now face a country that elected that misogynist, racist elitist ASSHOLE who now runs our country... I don't have any words...
