I am in a terrible state over all the news reports about nuclear war about to break out. Last night I was awake for hours, crying and panicking, I felt as though I was on the verge of having a stroke because of it. Everyone tells me "there's no point worrying as it's beyond our control", but that's making me worse. I go to bed at night thinking tomorrow won't come, I can't think about anything else except how we're all going to be blown up. People I've spoken to say don't worry, it won't happen, but I know they're only saying that because they can't imagine anything so horrific happening. I can't cope with this fear.
