Hello reddragon,

maybe you remember me from the chat a few days ago. I see that you seem to feel irritated and worried. This inauguration ceremony was a historical event, and everybody feels there is something special happening. And another thing is that obviously something has changed, and more change may come.

This can be frightening if one does not exactly know how to react to all this. Giving oneself time to adapt can be helpful. You told me that you pray. This might give you additional solace and comfort.

It might be hard for you not to feel threatened all or most of the time. But give it a try to relax and trust the world, no matter what hardships there are. Life is not always peaceful and problem-free, but I have learned that if I believe and trust a little more in me and the world, my fear receded and let me go. I had serious panic attacks, but I have recovered from that, only by building up the power of trust and agreement to things as they are. It feels so good. I wish you could feel that too, one day.

To cope or not to cope - that is the question.

Healing comes from within. As I see it, the trick is to find the lost way back to safe home. Wherever I am, whatever happens to me, my safe home is always with me.
