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.

People can’t 100% reassure you. Nobody knows what Putin will do. I doubt he even knows. But right now it is not the end of the world unless you live in Ukraine. Other countries could very well be attacked in the future but there’s no point getting yourself so worked up about it that you can’t eat. You live in the US. For now you are safe. Take comfort in that. There have been many wars and countries invaded in the past and the world hasn’t ended. I think that’s all the reassurance available right now.
