Khoa, You are not alone. Such a shocking event has affected so many
people, no matter where they are or what their connection. Just know
that you are not alone in your fear and heartbreak. You have all of
us to talk to and the fact that you have said something shows that you
are pretty safe from slipping into depression.

They say that taking action helps keep depression at bay and it makes
sense. That action could be anything: yoga, coloring books, getting
together with friends, etc. You can even take very constructive
action by volunteering somehow. You may not be able to do anything
directly to help the victims but remember, there are people suffering
all the time all over the world and they need help. If you help out
somewhere by offering your time and energy, someone will benefit.

Another thing you can do is talk to people about what you are going
through. I have been spending a lot of time with family and friends
and it has helped immeasurably. I have also found that taking a break
from the TV is a wonderful thing; the images are so potent and they
conjure up terrible thoughts. If you find it difficult to break that
habit, try at least to give yourself a break right before you go to
bed, allowing your mind to clear of these images so you can sleep
peacefully and begin to heal.

Hang in there. We are al
