[quote=Anonymous]I’m still struggling with the news coming out of Texas. Anyone else? I have 8 and 12 year old daughters and I’m finding I just need to give them extra snuggles and time right now (not the worst thing) and just feel like things can be so uncertain. I get really sad when I see news - I’ve been trying to avoid it. Because of my ADHD I have a psychiatrist I see and I told her I’ve been really sad about it, but we didn’t discuss it too much. I feel like this is somehow abnormal? Though I do tend to feel intense joy or sadness for others (empathy, I guess?) I’m surprised how long this has affected me. I’m able to go about my day, but it’s hard to clean up or get things done in the evening because I just don’t want to say no to my kids when they want to go to the park, play a game, have snuggled etc. Again, not the worst outcome but the magnitude of my feelings is surprising me. (I didn’t personally know anyone affected..)[/quote]
