I just need some reassurance because I have no one to talk to.
I’m a 24 year old living with my 5 year old sister. Our father is in jail and our mother passed away shortly after my sisters 3rd birthday. So I’ve been on my own since. It’s been so so hard. Not having friends and barely any family to help out. The point is I am scared of what’s going on in the world and im trying not to panic for my sister. But im afraid of war. Of being attacked and I have been since trump was re elected. And I don’t want to start crying infront of my sister because I don’t wanna scare her. But im scared and I have no one to talk to and I just need help calling tf down. But everytime I think I catch a break in this psychosis or whatever it is it just comes back 10x worse when I watch the news(which I should stop doing) but I feel like I need to do I know what’s going on because I want to know in case I need to protect my sister. That’s it. But it’s driving me crazy. I miss my mom she would always tell me we were gonna be fine and made said “no wars on this land. No attacks so missile strikes. would happen in your lifetime. You’re fine my love” it’s hard having no one to talk to about this. (We live in the United States)
