Each day the economic news gets more and more grim. My family seems to be doing alright, but there is just such a sense of impending doom and you never know how much worse it could get.
I think all this national stress is making me stress about everything in my own life as well. Family decisions leave me feeling paralyzed trying to decide what options are best. I feel like I drive my poor patient husband batty trying to weigh all the pros and cons-sometimes when I bring up another point, I feel him screaming inside "why are we still talking about this?" He has the great attitude that if you reach a point where you need to hurry up and wait, you should do just that, and I tend to still stew about it even if things are beyond my control.
All of this is effecting my creative and business activities. I have projects I need to get done, but this general sense of impending doom leaves me a little scared and not knowing where to begin. It's almost like I am afraid to touch the materials and somehow do something "wrong". OK, I so need to get over that and get moving!

I have the same problem. Try turning off the news and leaving it off. Sometimes it helps.
I feel the same way--the stock market/economy crisis is scaring the bejeebus out of me, and the political smacktalk that's everywhere right now is really starting to wear down on me. I sometimes wish that election campaigns were shorter.
