Lately I've been feeling anxious and depressed about everything going on - ISIS, Syrian refugees, people starving, the threat of someone pushing a button and annihilating us all us. Travelling on a plane, travelling on a tube or the Eurotunnel, child soldiers, children in gangs addicted to drugs, my son's brain being fucked up by social media and bloody playstation games. The way teenagers are going-obsessed with looks and selfies and sodding TOWIE.
Watching the news is just SO incredibly depressing, I can hardly bear to watch. My heart just feels so heavy with it all, I feel powerless to do anything or change anything and guilty about living in a nice warm house with lots of food to eat.
I know a lot of this stuff has always gone on in the world and worse but since ISIS have emerged, the world feels more dangerous, an awful place where we are determined to destroy each other.
How do others feel about this?
