Before you address anything on how to survive and get through the day, first take a moment to remind yourself that the feeling you are experiencing is valid! News like that should have people out en mass, tracking that guy down, and [redacted]. That said, unless you are in a position to have direct impact on the situation, the best you can do is to acknowledge that it is very upsetting news that should not be normalized and then maybe work towards finding a group to organize with, or if that’s not possible today, finding a way to disassociate for a few minutes to survive the day. I offer the biggest of electronic hugs, as that’s all I can offer at this moment. Take care of yourself and then, if you have the ability to, take care of someone around you today, too.
