I've been feeling on edge for the past few days. I went out with my friends and I couldn't help looking over my shoulder a lot and, when we went out to eat, I kept staring out the window instead of joining in the conversation and enjoying my food. I've never felt exactly safe (even though the town I live in is relatively safe) and I know I'm going to drive myself crazy if I keep being so paranoid of everyone, so I've just been trying hard to remember that most people want what I want: a sense of peace and safety. I didn't have to go to work today, so I went to volunteer at the food bank I used to work at before I got hired and that took my mind off my paranoia. I guess keeping busy helps.

I hate the looking over my shoulder thing. I was in India during the Mumbai attacks a few years ago, and that's basically how I felt then: looking over my shoulder. Almost crawling under a table at the sound of fireworks. Avoiding tourist places. I sort of shook it off quite well then, but you can return to those old emotions very quickly. But now it's in my own country and I don't quite know how that channel that.

Kudos to you for volunteering, though, regardless of the reason.

Yeah, I don't doubt it's going to take a while to fully shake off those feelings of dread and being on edge. Especially when things are still feeling tense and uncertain in general.

That said, though, I very much admire your attitude about all of this, and I second the kudos for volunteering on your day off. Not only is it a wonderful gesture in and of itself, and a great distraction, but it's stuff like that that will further prove to the terrorists they aren't going to achieve their goals.

I've just been trying hard to remember that most people want what I want: a sense of peace and safety.

Well said. This is a message everyone should keep in mind for life and other people in general, really.
