Rio, all we experience, made up or "actually" is ours and just as real as any other part. There's no way to compare to any one else's experience because no one else is you! No one else was your age, with your background, with your thoughts, with your experience, etc. Not all tragedies are alike, just because they are the same "subject" and you put in the individual witnessing or hearing about or experiencing it and you have a million different possibilities. You should be here in the U.S. with the 9-11 experience; 99.9% of the people traumatized weren't even there. The media and one's own fears and beliefs will give one a run for one's money.
Take care of yourself, you hear? No reading stuff just because you're bored. That's almost worst for me because I'm not as on guard.
