Even though it can be extremely nerve-racking, here’s how to let go of anxiety brought on by the 2023 election.
Anxiety can result in heart palpitations, sweating, shortness of breath and even high blood pressure. Here’s how to keep your anxiety in check.
1. Have sex
Sex is one of the best ways to make sure your nerves are calmed and you are relaxed. If you find yourself extremely horny and anxious at the same time, let go of some steam and engage in some intercourse; your nerves will thank you for it.
2. Take a break from social media

Monitoring the news on social media can be very aggravating, with fake news and opposing views, you might find yourself getting angrier.
3. Only follow the news from verified sources
News channels and online websites like Pulse Nigeria will never lead you astray; their news is always accurate. That’s why you should follow them and not WhatsApp broadcast messages for the correct situations on the state of affairs.
4. Watch your favourite TV show again
If the anxiety from the election is getting too much, then watch a rerun of your favourite TV show. Watching your favourite show can be very calming since you know what will happen.
5. Stop discussing politics
If it takes a toll on your mental health, then dissociate yourself from your political discussions at work, on the bus, in your neighbourhood and even at home. Talk about other things, if you find the anxiety overwhelming.
