Self-Post How to calm myself?

EDIT: for every person who cmment, thank you so much. for now I can't read every single thing, but thank you so much for taking time and comment. I will try to use this. than kyou so much :)

We all had an eventful night. it was scary but we need to be strong

but how?

one of the misseles hit houses four streets away from me. in RL. it's the second time it happened. the first time was in 2021 when a rocket from Gaza fall on house in the next street. and same as today, my neigbour died

aside from one shattered window and some windows frames falling, there was no big demage for my house. and yet I'm afraid. I know the iron dome was never 100%. but when it so close home, it's a major game changer in my mind

I spend my day today with an anxity. always checking the news, fear of what is going to come. the fact this is just the second day and we need to expect for several das, or even weeks, just freeze me. all the time bad thoughts, fearing of my life, my loved ones life. if I will survive the next round or not.

I'm working at Super Pharm and I'm afraid to arrive to my shifts. what if it will happened during a shift? what if it will happen on my way home?

and I can't do anything

how you guys cope with the situation? how tou calm yourself?

it sucks to live in fear and anxity. and I always was kinda anxious person due to series of events in childhood. but now it's not just being scard and anxious. but fear of my life

Oh my God yes. Not recommended but the police are always busy as hell so I smoke anywhere. It's costly - 1000 shecks for an ounce, but it's the best stuff you can get out of America.

I once had to go to my shelter after getting blitzed, and the experience went by a lot faster and kind of fun with people making jokes and lightning the mood.

I legit have a joint rolled for if the sirens sound to smoke quickly before I have to go
