EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - This week, America elected Donald Trump as the next President. Some are very excited about that. Others are experiencing rising stress and anxiety.

This election cycle was full of strong emotions on both sides. Now that President-Elect Trump is set to take office for a second time, some of those who opposed him are reaching out for help.

National mental health organizations are reporting an uptick in crisis calls since Election Day.

The Trevor Project, which advocates for suicide prevention and crisis intervention for LGBTQ+ youth, reports a 700% increase in calls after the election . They also say conversations about the election increased by 5,200%.

Local mental health leaders say they haven’t seen much of an uptick in crisis calls since Tuesday, but know emotions are running high right now.

And politics can always be a tough point of conversation, regardless of your beliefs. That can be amplified around the holidays.

“In almost every election 50% is satisfied, 50% is unsatisfied,” said Easterseals Vice President of Development, Marketing and Community Relations, Emily Reidford.

Reidford says if the results of the election are weighing on you, there are several things you can do.

“What you can do from the get go is have a rule,” she says. “Maybe it’s no politics at the dinner table for Thanksgiving. Really just practicing boundary setting and letting people know that’s not a topic I want to talk about today.”

Reidford recommends making plans with people you enjoy. Also, if you’re passionate about a political cause, get involved.

“Make some plans about how can I be part of a different solution, how can I be part of something I want to see in the future,” Reidford said.

It’s also important to set limits for yourself.

“Allow yourself to feel what you’re feeling, but maybe kind of self impose some time limits on it,” Reidford said. “Maybe on Wednesday, I’m going to let myself be upset, angry, happy, whatever. Then I’m going to try and move past that.”

Finally, watch the language you’re using with yourself and others. Reidford says catastrophic language only makes things worse. That goes for both Trump and Harris supporters.

If feelings persist for long periods of time, well after Election Day, hinder your ability to work or carry out normal activities or cause thoughts of harm, contact a crisis intervention hotline by dialing 988.
