We are all caught up in our own unique dilemmas, what triggers us individually varies. Yet the reactions we have, and the associated feelings are so universal, even typical to use that word in it's literal manner, that I think we should feel reassured it isn't " just me". We are all in the same boat - ok, it's probably a lot like in Hitchcock's 1944 film 'Lifeboat' - a bunch of unique characters thrown together by disaster, each with issues, some literally the enemy, and facing a very uncertain future where the chance of death is overwhelming, and somehow they make it work - well, the survivors do.
