Increased PTSD & anxiety/Anyone else?

yesterdays horrible news and a personal matter have kicked my issues into overdrive. I'm way too anxious to do anything for more then 5-10 minutes at a time, quite quite fidgety and jumpy.

The Boston tragedy and someone with whom I shouldn't have talked on the phone with. Well that person is the source of my PTSD...

Because everyone points fingers at the "crazy people." I am very sick of that bullshit.

I was really a mess this week and Wednesday morning it all kind of came to a head. I feel like I owe it to the victims to watch. Then I feel like I want to watch just to be aware of what's happening. I work in a target building so I worry about that too. But I've decided to check in occasionally but focus on work, family, positive stuff the rest of the time.

Hang in there.
