I'm just getting more and more scared as the war goes on and I seem to be able to tolerate saltine crackers and soda and thats it now. I have another migraine and I'm trying to drink some more water and I have an ice pack. I do have a couple doctors appointment and my therapy session next week. I see my blood doctor on Monday and then I have blood work and I am worried the level is already high again. I think its possible though I could be mainly just very scared over the war and discouraged by the lack of reassurance I'm getting about it from my support team.

I hear you. I'm scared about the war, too. What's happening is horrifying and although I hate, hate war I can't stand the thought of NATO countries (obviously, primarily the U.S.) allowing the vicious inhumanity and genocide to continue without intervening. I know we're giving tons of money and weapons, but clearly that's not enough. And I'll be honest, I don't believe that "not watching the news" is an effective way to cope. The fact is, the horror is occurring. I DO believe in taking breaks from the news...watching a movie or reading a book or whatever. But we can't ignore the reality of what's going on by turning off the TV or not reading about the war online.
Do I think the world will end? No, I don't. I really don't. The world doesn't end so easily. My hope is that Putler will be assassinated. But whatever happens, I believe that he's in waaay over his head. His "great" army sucks, let's face it. I just think we need to step up and put and end to this thing.
