Hi Craig Indeed, one day, "it" "might" become too much, but from what you wrote, that day is certainly long in the future and may never come. Being scared of the future is actually quite a healthy response to the current state of the world, and to our personal place in it. Being a Dad to a daughter increases that sense of gravitas. For now, each day taken one by one is a good idea, with the further idea of making an agreement with yourself not to do anything "permanent" without giving yourself 24 hours or 48 hours to think it over. Checking in with a consultant/therapist/counselor might be helpful, too. Keep posting here...you are not alone.
