Hey gang, I just wanted to give you all an update on how I am doing. The good news is, I am still alive. I’m doing a bit better now, still anxious about that whole nuclear posturing between the US and Russia, but I have also been doing some research that is beneficial, mostly regarding all the safeguards put in place to help prevent Nuclear War from ever happening and it has given me some much-needed reassurance.

I am also going to try to completely avoid the news all together, since it has just been doing me more harm than good. I still have the compulsion to check the news to see what the status is on that subject, but I am trying my absolute best not to give in. Rather, whenever I feel the need to check the news, I’m instead going to focus on what I learned about the various nuclear deterrence that are currently in place and do my best to move on.

Hopefully, I can kick this whole worrying thing all together, after spending the last few days waking up scared and feeling uncomfortable facing the day, and the constant high blood pressure, I can safely say that I do not want to live like this. It’s not living, it is hell.
