I think this all the time. It is the number one reason I don't watch news or any violent TV shows or movies. I listen to the news, but even that lately has left disturbing images in my head to match the gunfire, sounds of bombs and descriptions of horrific things like the Syrian prisons and repeated family traumas in Gaza. It's all too much.

I totally feel/hear/see that. As Mariann says, “We’re alone in this together.” (I just misquoted her. The way she said it would have undoubtedly been stronger.)
