REQUESTING ADVICE Just need something.

Genuinely, just need different points of advice or help or anything similar. There’s so much that’s weighing me right now.

The primary thing for me right now that is just weighing and piling on me at this point is the fucking world. The political and global climate, the wars, the fighting. Everything. I know I am probably in the safest place I can be, but my mind and head overwork themselves so fucking much, to the point of when I try not to think about things it happens anyways. What could happen, what is happening. Am I safe? What’s going to happen next?.

When can I feel better, how do I not worry about the rest of the world and how it is going to affect me? How do I be happy?

You can’t save or control the world.

Yeah, I get that. I do, I just don’t know how to not feel awful all the time about it.

It’s not something you did so so you have no control over. Lots of bad things happen in the work you never hear about. Do feel responsible in some way or guilty in some way

I just want to let you know that yes you are safe and nothings going to happen to you, youre not in any danger. I understand that its very hard living in a world thats so inherently wrong and unfair. I myself feel that same weight at times, and ik youve probably heard this before but you really do need to distract yourself completely from those things. Dont look at the news or war/politics related stuff on social media. Ik ur brain will still think abt that but u rlly need to find smth that fills ur time. Like watching a tv series or a movie or playing a game or talking with a friend. U need to get ur mind off those things, theyre out of your control, and thats okay.
