Can't sleep!

So today someone shot a cashier at our local Super Target and then killed himself. I have anxiety issues and pregnancy really makes it worse, so when I see this stuff it completely turns everything upside down. We were just there yesterday, I know people that work there and I just can't get it out of my head. I feel so bad for the cashier's family and for all of those that had to witness such a terrible scene. I know this could happen anywhere,at any time, but seriously why? All I can do is cry since I am an emotional mess. Thanks for letting me vent!

    I'm so sorry you are going through this hun! What happened is awful, but unfortunately, we cannot control the world and the bad deeds. I hope you feel better soon and will forget about what happened.

    I can be an emotional wreck myself, and what really helps me is to just relax, and go to bed calm. Take a bath. Read a book. Bump away.  Do something baby related - bookmark your favorites online, research things, make a hospital bag list, anything that would keep your mind of that horrible event.

    Sorry for how you're feeling. I've had anxiety issues for a long time, especially about crime. I can hardly watch the evening news if I want to sleep that night. Just try to relax, and know the incident wasn't random and that you are safe. It's normal to feel sad for the family and others that work there, especially if you know some of them. I'm sure they would appreciate your prayers at this time. I hope being able to vent about this has helped you some, if not I hope you can find someone to talk to about how you feel.
