Proactive > Panic.
There are necessary steps to avoid problems in the future, try to work on those first. But at the same time, step back, Breathe, and look at the resources you still have.
One of the things I have learned to do is to take an inventory. What do I have now? What might I lose in the future? How much time do I have? What do I need to do now, and what can wait? And mostly, how can I use this?
I'm not going to say everything is going to be okay because for everybody, it's a different story. What I will say is, it's okay to panic, let yourself panic, but make the decisions you need to make after the Panic has subsided.
This is really messed up, we don't know all the answers yet, we have to wait, but there are things we can do to make things work so that we can have our human needs fulfilled.
A nice little exercise for this is to make a list. Pros and cons, and also, what do I have control over, and what do I not have control over?
Making lists of things you can do to assure your needs will be met, but possibly not in the same process as it was before. These are big changes if they do pass and get signed. From what I'm reading we have some time. But at the same time, use that time to make a plan.
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
One good thing is, we still do have some resources. It will be harder now, but use what you can while you've got it!
