Will anyone else feel relieved when this 9/11 day is over?

[Knitwit101]

I'm feeling quite anxious, I'm not really sure why. I feel like I'm waiting for something to happen, but the thing happened 20 years ago. I don't think I'm worried about something similar happening today, I just feel weird. Unsettled.
I'll be relieved when everyone is back at home, one teenager is out in the centre of a big town with a pal, one is at the cinema, small one at a pal's house, dh is at work, I'll just feel strangely relieved when everyone is back home and the clock quietly ticks over to a new day.

I don't usually have anxious feelings like this, not at all.

Sending love to everyone who is finding today hard.

TBH i never even noticed it. If it had not been for the on-line references, I'd probably have ignored it entirely.

Sorry, but I'm with @DerAlteMann

Do you feel like this every year @Knitwit101?

We're you in the US at the time? Do you have American family?

TBH I fail to see why you are so concerned / worried?

I live in London (life long Londoner who was already in the office on 7/7) but I can't say I've ever felt worried or concerned on any 9/11 or 7/7 anniversaries.

Someone is feeling anxious cos today reminds them of how scary the world can be...and you post a virtual eye roll @NatriumChloride. Nice.

Take care OP. Some people need to mark the day, others want to leave it in the past. It's a horrendous part of our history.

I don't usually, but this year I have slightly so I see where you're coming from. Not really fear or feeling off because of anyone close to me, but just for large cities in general. Perhaps with it being the 20th anniversary coinciding with the takeover of the Taliban.

I have never worried before, I don't know what's wrong with me today. Partly because this is the first big anniversary the kids have really been aware of, we've watched a lot of tv shows together about it recently. I don't usually give it much thought. Ds has been really interested in the situation in Afghanistan, I've been thinking about that a lot too.

I've switched the news off for the rest of today. It's not healthy.

It’s probably to go with the whole Afghan situation. Let’s be honest, the removal of US and UK troops recently isn’t great from a safety perspective and the war on terrorism.

The fact 911 was 20 years ago today highlights how dangerous these terrorist/extremists are.
