I'm scared.
I'm trying to have hope but...I don't know.
I'm scared rn. I'm almost shaking.
And yes,it involves the whole fracas going on between Russia and Ukraine(and Russia putting their strategic forces on alert does not help).
I never thought I'd have to live through a Nuke war.
I know that I can't do anything...but at least let me be human and let me feel my emotions.
I even said myself in church today that "there is always room for hope"...but I'm getting some serious doubts.
And it looks Japan may be permanently off the books soon...and now I'm wondering if I should drop out from the IT program I'm doing at college rn(no use studying computers if there are no computers to work on/we're all dead,etc.)
I mean,is this it?
Are we ALL really about to die?
Seriously?
Is this the end?
Fuck...
@ADX98927 it is scary but most of all extremely sad and unbelievable. My heart goes out to all involved especially the sick, disabled and bedridden civilians who may be unable to go anywhere.
Be mindful always that some news may not be portraying the whole picture - I think for now especially for us Europeans it is important to support, even in our thoughts, all the ones suffering this madness on their skin.
My recommendation is... Do not drop out. If you see all the courage and determination of young people who are living in the middle of the conflict and are working on digital fronts maybe it can give you some inspiration.

Hey there
I can really understand your fear. I feel the same. This situation is really fightening and makes a lot of us feel powerless.
For me, it helps to focus on the moment. Right now, I'm safe and I hope, you are too. And then we go step by step, minute by minute. Like we've been able to somehow manage the pandemic, we're going to find solutions in this situation as well.
Maybe you want to try some mindfulness exercises? https://www.7cups.com/exercises/mindfulness/?showlist=1 Or talk to a listener? https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/ There's also a group support chat regarding the current situation here: https://www.7cups.com/chat/?c=lmNpeHmYkZedlLBohVPGmQ!!
I wish you all the best! You can do it!
Take care
