Just want to vent if that's okay

I'm so worried about the war in Ukraine, I don't have a lot of money to donate and am geographically too far away to be of significant help.

I'm also ashamed of the smaller anxieties that plague me on a daily basis in the face of all the much bigger problems going on.

For example, my sister's wedding is coming up and I'm very anxious about sleeping over. The wedding itself I'm excited for, but I'm going to be staying with an aunt for two nights so I can attend. The reason for my severe anxiety over this; I'm terrified an armed robbery will occurr. And I have *some* logical reasoning for this fear. My aunt has been through two home invasions in the past decade, the most recent one happened last November. I myself have experienced it as a kid, so saying it won't happen again is stupid. There's every chance it can happen again.

I want to cry from frustration about how helpless I am to help others and be helped.
