Hi. I'd really like a bit of perspective on my current head state.
I am quite a sensitive person, easily moved. I usually avoid watching the news as I find it all too easy to get upset about events that I have no relation to or control over.
However, obviously I cannot live in a bubble and recently I feel haunted(for want of a better word) by the awful James bulger case. I spend a great deal of energy trying to distract myself from these thoughts but it's just there, all the time. I have a toddler ds and a new baby so obvious hormonal issues I imagine.
Every day now I am in tears for that little boy and his parents. I know it's not helping anyone to be this way and I don't wish to intrude on a family's grief that's none of my business but it's very hard to feel happy at the moment because of these thoughts. It's quite hard to form my words here, sorry. I just wondered whether anyone's used any useful distraction techniques or felt similar things before and got through it successfully.
I adore my family and love my life. I know I am very lucky.
Sorry for rambling.
