Anyone else just feel a bit weird about carrying on as normal?

[AintNobodyHereButUsChickens]

It feels wrong, to carry on as normal with everything going on, but what else can we really do? We need a new car, so we're off to look at a couple tomorrow, and I'm lying in bed, unable to sleep just thinking how fucked up some people are, and how awful it feels to just be going about our regular daily lives

Enjoy your life with gratitude for it is precious.

Do something now and every day to help those who are suffering (anyone, anywhere).

Do not share your negative emotions in highly public places but master them.

Retain optimistic.

Be a force of good in this world.

Nah it doesn't achieve anything. You can be aware, empathise and even support others without having to do nothing out of guilt.

Totally understand-the situation in Ukraine is heartbreaking and people are in the depths of despair. Feels so unfair to them that I’m sitting thinking about all the things I ‘have’ to buy etc.

I've felt weird since the pandemic started. I've never quite shaken it off.

Did you feel weird when the numbing was happening in Syria? Or anywhere else in the world? It’s really sad and unsettling but…

I'm on a long running thread about the withdrawal from Afghanistan and feel similarly: the shame that we live in a global society and yet the inequalities persist and the feelings of helplessness watching in horror.

I feel it's definitely subdued the covid drama. Nobody cares about that anymore it seems

And things feel a bit pointless really. Flat. Sad. I get what you mean.
