Anyone else finding it hard to concentrate?

[Happy Hoosier]

I have some friends that live in Ukraine. An old friend and his sons are headed to Poland to join the Ukraine fight.

This feels.... BIG.

I am having a hard time thinking of anything else.

1. Yeah, it is overwhelming

2. Oh, yeah.

The last two nights I woke up around four and checked on the news before tiring out and going back to sleep.

4. Me too, I am 60 years old and in good shape

I keep thinking about joining the fight seriously.
I hate trump and putin, These innocent people do not deserve this and it is really pulling my heart strings thinking of the innocent babies and children being put in this because of these selfish greedy bastards..

a few years ago.

I haven't heard from any of them in a few days now...

6. Yes, I remember seeing pictures of my grandparents listening to the radio during WWII.

They looked like I feel today. I pray we can stop this authoritarian maniac but I wonder.

7. Me too

It started for me on Tuesday, even before the invasion. You could feel that something was amiss.

8. I am so stressed out.

I can’t think about anything else. i’ll turn off the TV for awhile then go back for current developments.
I wasn’t born yet for WW2 but it feels like the lead-up to me. I look at the videos of Ukrainian citizens and it breaks my heart. They look like us! It’s a modern country. God be with the people of Ukraine! Praying.

9. Yes

Several colleagues in Ukraine. And saw what 2014 did emotionally to adopted Ukranian kids living in the US, even though they were safe here.

10. Same, extremely angry and frustrated by the lack of help being given to the Ukrainians.

Keep refreshing this site and news outlets hoping for some sort of favorable announcement to cool my anger.

11. "....headed to Poland to join the Ukraine fight."

I don't follow what you're saying here. You said in the previous sentence that they live in Ukraine....
