Anyone else anxious...London...

I was just watching the news and I am so sad about the terror attacks in London. It makes me cry that people would do that.


I can't even fathom why someone would ever want to hurt innocent people. It just upsets me so much. I am feeling anxious about it.


Danielle, I have been thinking about you. You had said that you have PTSD due to 9/11... I can imagine that the London attacks are weighing on you and I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you. ((HUGS))

Hi Heather -

It is so sad about London ... I can't believe how much things have changed over the years ... We're so young but already we've seen so many horrible things happen in this world that absolutely unbelieveable. It really puts things in perspective. I'm at work, so I haven't been able to watch the news today but I have seen things on the internet ... how terrible.

I hope that you are doing okay. Is everybody healthy now in your family? How are you?

I'm doing a lot better this week, but I definitely still have my moments ... I'm trying to fight the anxiety off and not be "anxious about getting anxious" ...

If you guys decide to chat at all today, let me know...

Hey Maribeth,


So good to hear from you.


We are all doing better. It was a tough week last week.


I am doing better, of course it's a struggle every day for me to keep my anxiety in check. I just have faith that it will all be ok and in the big scheme of my life this is just a short period of time.


I am so happy to hear that you are doing better. It takes a lot of time but the coaping skills the we learn really do help. It seems as though your long weekend was just what you needed.


Don't forget chat tonight if you can make it.


((HUGS))

Heather and Maribeth,

Nope to been anxious/depressed about London, but still feel sad of course, but not like 9/11 when my depresson/anxiety first hit me. My prayers and positive thoughts are with London/its people still. Thank you.

Thanks Heather & That is exactly why I have stayed away from the news. I can't handle any more of that. I know it's happened, I feel horrible for all of those people but I can't do any more than that. 9/11 wrecked me in so many ways that are still affecting me. I can't even begin to imagine what those people are going through.


Hugs & Prayers,



Danielle

i don't feel anxixous per se, but this event is extremely upsetting. it's so sad that me that we live in a world in which terrorism exists. growing up in israel i saw my fair share of hatred between ethnicities, and now this hatred is infaltrating the rest of the western world. i suppose it's a miracle that the death toll was relatively low despite the size of the attack :(((

I'm staying away from it, too, Danielle. It's an awful thing & I am saying prayers for the British folks, but I refuse to be sucked into the news coverage like 9/11. I know this kind of thing fuels my anxiety. I have to put my health first. Maybe that sounds a bit selfish, but if I'm out of commission, then I'm no good for *me* or my girls. I'm all they have. Hope everyone can find some peace during these turbulent times. (((hugs))) jan
