I'm so tired of war
I'm so tired of war. I am so tired of people killing babies and children and animals and people who are old and people who are disabled and can't even take care of themselves. Why would people do this if they know suffering so profound that it brings them to their knees? If people know the suffering from losing someone or some animal that they love and it rips their life, their soul, their existence, out of them and makes them think why go on, why would they fight this way? I am so tired of the cries and the screams that I see on the faces of the people affected by such fighting. I want to calm their cries and give them that life back. I want to erase the experience from their minds. I want to give them their loved ones back, alive and smiling. I don't care where they are from. People don't deserve to be forced to go through horror. I pray that the war stops. I pray that God forgives us all.
Being very empathetic can hurt badly. You are only one person...one beautiful person with a huge heart. Please remember to take care of you. You can't save the World. You are only one person. Saving a few feels pretty good though.
@purpleTree4652 I don't know where you're from. I'm from a country going through right now. It started 6 days ago and i'm terrified and heart-broken. You should know your post gave me an ounce of hope. With all this hatred around I really really really needed someone to say what you just wrote. I wish the entire world would think like you. Human life is so sacred. I see the death tolls on the news. reducing peoples' lives to numbers. I can't bear it anymore. I really can't. I cry all day, everyday. Thank you for your sanity. No joke - I needed this so much. To know there's still unconditional kindness in this world.
I can't stand to see people suffer or be sad either, especially alone. I've been there. I'm very lucky I live in the US.
I used to focus on the hatred and all the horrible things people did to me and others. I was left alone so sick I didn't know how to do basic things. I was told I was toxic and people had to be saved from me. I weighed 98 lbs and couldn't eat. Turns out, on top of my anxiety and depression I had many vitamin levels off, which causes confusion and worse mental health. I'm getting back to me again, but it's not easy.
I have a huge amount of empathy and some advice. Keep informed of what you have to for safety, etc. Then, please shut the news off for even a few days. The news goes out of their way to be as sensational as possible. It sells. They are not good people. 😊. Listen to music, go for a walk, dance in your bedroom to your favorite song, tell a joke, and do anything that makes you happy even a little.
There is so much kindness, beauty, and hope in this World. I'm glad I could loan you some. 😊 Anytime you need some more or a silly joke, I'm around. Big, big hugs to you.
You are special not wrong, etc. You care for others deeply. Just remember to take care of you. After you do that, spread some hope. You'd be surprised what it can do. 🤗💜
@Warpedme thank you so much for your response! I really needed this. I feel so guilty for trying to do exactly what you're advising to do, so it really helps to get this validation. I'm trying to disconnect from the news even thought it's super hard and I'm still exposed to everything via phone calls and FB. At the beginning I had volunteered and donated money but then all of a sudden I became super anxious and depressed to the point where I'm just exhausted all the time even though I'm not doing anything. Luckily my husband is keeping us afloat. Trying to take care of myself and am just hoping that somehow things will work out eventually. I feel like I have no right to complain with my situation being much better than others at the moment so I really thank you again for being there for me. Take care, and I'm glad good people like you are safe ❤️
First of all, you are very, very sweet on top of incredibly empathetic. You are happy I'm safe, and you don't even know me.
I'm lucky I was born in this country. Although us Americans act as though it's the best place ever, we have our faults. However, we have it a gazillion times better than you. Another words, you are not complaining. You are rightfully upset with your situation because we all deserve better if we're good people. You obviously are, caring for strangers demonstrates this.
If you can, limit you social media as much as possible as well. I have none as it actively causes me anxiety and a little rage. 🤣.
People don't realize anxiety is physically exhausting. You're always tense and on the go if you are like me anyway, and the mental gymnastics are ridiculous. Take care of yourself before other people please. You are a good person and you are worthy too. 😊🤗
I just wanted to let you know that your post was genuinely heart felt for me. I too really hurt for those who are hurting right now. I pray for peace as well.
Beautiful souls often suffer, but we don't have to especially alone. 😊💜
