The presidential election is causing people a lot of stress. Jaime Clayton is president of Oakland Family Services in Pontiac and says many of us are getting anxiety about politics, but are ways we can avoid it. She says that starts with getting off social media.

“Stay away from the news and social media. It’s not something that fills you up and makes you feel good, right? You don’t have to watch that stuff. You don’t have to see the stuff online. You can have a choice.”

Clayton says those of us looking to steer clear of election stress should also stay away from political conversations with people we know disagree with us.
