In my head they are very normalburger if that makes sense. They think Trump can stop the war enough to affect the market, right?

    The reality is none of this insanity has directly effected me. So day to day life, working, raising kids, etc. is completely normal for me. However, keeping up with news. Feeling empathy for people being effected now, and worrying about when the other shoe is going to drop on me and my family stresses me out. I don’t like being stressed out and avoid stress as much as possible, so I find myself just trying to stay distracted with hobbies, video games, etc. Then I feel guilty about distracting myself. If I can’t do much about the situation, I should at least inform myself about it. But then there comes the stress again…

    So yeah, in a way add me to the crashing out list I guess.

      This is exactly me. Fired up the Xbox to play my favorite title, unfortunately its the Battlefield series. So there i am clawing at it in an oil field on fire or some middle Eastern city streets thinking about dead school girls and nothing I can do about it.
