How are people keeping from panic?

18. I've been struggling, but due to family reasons, not political ones for the most part.

I had to go to medication, I just couldn't eat or sleep. Glad I did because I feel so much better and it's also helping with the Ukraine madness. I am very distressed by all this as well as worried for the future, but it's manageable with very low levels of Cymbalta and marijuana. I found a 1:1 thc/cbd ratio concentrate that was lifesaving while I was adjusting to the Cymbalta, just a rice sized piece before I go to bed really helps with not waking up with my brain screaming at me/ going around in circles.

Think I'm ok now, at least as long as nothing else big happens, I can finally eat ok and sleep is better too. I am also not continually anxious about either my son or the world, though I do have significant concerns about both. Ukraine has actually been such a surprise, they are standing so strong and the world had so united against Putin's imperialistic invasion and these are all great things. Yes, there is a possibility of WW111, but I really hope Biden and the unision of world leaders and maybe some brave Russians are able to prevent that.

Hope you can find something to lessen your struggles too.
