New Here
I lived through the rioting in the 60's, which partially contributed to my current PTSD. If I hear anything that sounds like gunfire, I am a basket case. So what do I do now? Like others have said, I try to avoid the news in excess. It was hard enough being reminded to think about illness all the time while praying I wouldn't become ill. Now this. Old movies, streaming tunes that remind me of simpler, happier times, reading books from childhood, finding projects around the house, playing with my pets, diffusing comforting scents, napping, calling my elderly relative, crying, grieving for the world that we've lost forever, praying that the new one will be even better!
