When you don't get what you want and then get what you don't want, you feel a double whammy of disappointment.
The first whammy comes with the realization that you didn't get what you wanted. After months of decisions, discussions, and anticipation, your hopes were dashed. The second whammy comes with the realization that you got what you didn't want. Anxiety and fear may have replaced hope.
Many voters experienced this after the elections. Easy to say what is done is done and what will be will be. Harder to stop thinking of what could have been, deal with the disappointment and fear, and go forward. After a certain period of time, you may see that your worst fears will not materialize. Somehow, we will work together and solve our problems. You can survive the double whammy.
