Hi. I’m Michelle. I’m Jewish and a daughter, niece, and granddaughter of Holocaust survivors. I read Dr, Danielle Diamond’s blog about coping with terrible events in the world. Besides being a child of survivors, my grandmother had terrible survivors guilt. And I realize at the age of 65, this has greatly traumatized me and given me PTSD. The events of October 7, 2023 and slaughter of 1200 innocent people put a. hole in my heart. I read Dr. Diamond’s suggestions on coping. I have a support group thru HU and PMs among others. Knowing about horrific things is in my DNA. I work 7 days a week and am on my meds. But all the advice and suggestions don’t always help me. Especially now with the surge of antisemitism in the U. S. my anxiety and depression levels R higher. Last week, my supervisor a Latina Lesbian said to me, JEWS are the one with MOOLAH 💰. She earns at least double my salary. I didn’t say a word, because I need my job. I naively, thought that a minority person wouldn’t come out with that statement. Thank you for letting me vent.

Hi Michelle , I’m truly sorry that you had to endure such bias judgement.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support. People like U on HU are a great source of support for me.
