I know lots of you will want to say: "get over yourselves already", but please be kind (or say nothing!).

But for those of you for whom this is genuinely devastating, emotionally, morally, practically (if you or partner is non-British), or job-wise - when do you think it will start to feel better?

I'm waking every morning feeling as if, yes, the sky has fallen if, or as if I've experienced a personal bereavement.

Yeah New Zealand, that trade world leader!

Well, I think it's awfully kind of them to lend us some trained negotiators! And New Zealanders are lovely people.

Although I'm not sure why we need trained negotiators, I mean, who needs experts when we have 17 million winners who know better? Confused I was just about to ask a Leave voter for some help with my immunofluorescence cell imaging!

I wish I could get rid of my anger. I'm currently in bed with a stinker of a headache that's been brewing all week and I'm sure it's linked. Grrrrrrrrr why/how are we in this mess????

Ah yes! Bob Crow, he would have been great.

Figmentofmyimagination · 30/06/2016 21:51

Upstart crow, if it is still on I player is a really good antidote to stress. Very funny and not at all linked to politics.

Figmentofmyimagination · 30/06/2016 21:57

Ha ha didn't notice the 'bob crow' reference when I typed upstart crow!

Bob, of course, would have been right at the forefront of the Leave campaign, as he was a life long, committed anti EU person, and one of the earliest campaigners against TTIP - but he was right about TTIP and very good at getting the best deal for his members.

I am unbelievably tired all the time, with a perma-headache and tight shoulders.
I've laughed genuinely maybe two or three times this week. Just permanent anxiety and nausea.

Figmentofmyimagination · 30/06/2016 22:50

Put the phone/laptop away now because it's 10 to 11. Step back from it all just for 20 mins and relax before you go to bed! I'm taking this advice myself too.

MelanieCheeks · 30/06/2016 22:57

Good advice-switching off the to now.

trixymalixy · 30/06/2016 23:07

During the Scottish referendum I was off work for a month with vertigo that was diagnosed as migraine related from grinding my teeth through the stress of it all. I have a splint to wear at night now, but that doesn't help during the day and my vertigo is returning due to the stress of this referendum along with a sore neck Sad.

I dont do uncertainty. That is the worst thing for me.

I'm watching QT.

High blood pressure.

SwedishEdith · 30/06/2016 23:21

I wake with a start every morning at 4 with adrenalin rushing round me.

Me too. I normally have a pulse of 80. I checked it a few days ago after waking with a pumping heart - it was 110 Shock. Too much news, feeds the anxiety so I've avoided it tonight and it feels better. But, yes, imagine living in a war-torn country

SpringingIntoAction · 30/06/2016 23:24

I was a disenfranchised spectator as the Indyref settled the fate of the country I was born in.

But I didn't take to the streets to protest the result, or demand a rerun or demand to have it over-turned.

Because I believe in democracy and the more direct the better.

UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 30/06/2016 23:33

Democracy is just great - but we are in a representative democracy here.

A democracy that is fed on lies - £350m to the nhs, control of immigration, EU grants promised- is not true democracy.

The Leave campaign LIED TO PEOPLE.

That's not democracy.

SpringingIntoAction · 30/06/2016 23:40

Democracy is just great - but we are in a representative democracy here.

Direct democracy is purer than representative democracy. If you don't agree, hand your vote to someone else next time and hope they cast it the way you want.

A democracy that is fed on lies - £350m to the nhs, control of immigration, EU grants promised- is not true democracy.

Lies - like the 'next day emergency budget' when the 'markets will be in meltdown' and 'pensioners will have their pensions cut' and 'there will be war and conflict' ..........

The Leave campaign LIED TO PEOPLE.

yawn yawn tedium

That's not democracy.

It was. and it it had produced the result you desired you would be calling it democracy

UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 01/07/2016 00:01

Are you still expecting £350m a week into the NHS then Springing?

#lmao if it wasn't so tragic. Did you believe them? They lied to you.

UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 01/07/2016 00:05

Ooh dear. Where's Boris now? He lied, they're all lying. #Brexit = lies.

When do you think it will feel better?
UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 01/07/2016 00:12
UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 01/07/2016 00:20

Oh no, not at all.

UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 01/07/2016 00:23

Typo - Dan Hannan of course. He of the "oh, no, immigration will not be less at all. not really. We lied, you see." party.

twelly · 01/07/2016 06:13

When the public vote in any election there are winners and losers, we do not always like the end vote. However, that is democracy, we are all entitled to vote how we wish and we must accept the result, we don't have to like it but blaming people is destructive. What is more important is that the economy to some extent is based on confidence, the more people talk u a recession the more likely it is to happen..

PattyPenguin · 01/07/2016 06:37

Because the economy depends largely on business and of course business people make all their decisions on whether or not the populace is moaning, and what about. Ignoring completely trade arrangements, currency movements, taxation, and how much money their customers have available.

Not.
