I read your headline, and I thought "ah, just turn off the tv, avoid the media, ignore it" - then I read your first lines and realized you are living it. We Americans are so shielded, these things happen on our tv screens to other people.

I am so sorry for your situation, I will say a prayer for your safety and for all in the war zone, and hope that you can find some relief from your anxiety and are able to succeed in studying for your exams.
