Words of wisdom. Telling to myself "I shouldn't be afraid" or "I should calm down" never work.
The first 2 or 3 days were the hardest, i was terrified and distracted. It's 21th day already, air-raid sirenes don't make my blood run cold anymore. But this can be also a sign that the fear went down deeper. Well, very much hope things will change soon, to better
Thank you so much for your comment.
I think that's pretty normal as well – humans are surprisingly malleable, and can get used to even the most extreme situations. I've never been in a war zone myself, but I've certainly experienced how voilence on a smaller scale can become normalized. You seem mentally strong (which is not to be confused with not being emotional), so I believe and hope that you will be able to transition to a normal life again, when the time comes. :)
I think so. Today I am going to make a chicken soup, the first real cooking. Something not sandwitches or cheese or cookies. This is a good sign 😉 Hope my enthusiasm will not gone in an hour 🤞
Chicken soup sounds delicious! 😋
