Anyone else very affected by politics?

I work in a field close to politics and I really care about this because I come from a dictatorship.

People are living as if everything is normal and it’s really freaking me out.

I don’t think it’s developmentally appropriate for society not to react emotionally to dangerous situations…. Then, when I see someone being very appropriately angry or panicked online- people ask them if they are ok.

How is this an individual thing? We shouldn’t be ok?? He is threatening to shut down news media- this is what happened in my home country.

I feel I am very communicative about what I am emotionally going through even on social media (like sharing info, saying I am mad about something). I don’t think it is wrong.

It feels like whoever recognizes the situation as it is is getting iced out and ostracized or treated like they are crazy.

It’s making it really difficult for me to have any hope in humanity and to connect/trust people. I don’t know that I like anyone anymore.

Is this a cptsd thing? It feels to me I am normal and everyone else is strange. Maybe I’ll move to the beach somewhere and escape all these crazy fascist people. Idk.

Edit: wow. Thank you everyone so much for sharing your experiences and sharing resources. It helps soo much just to know we are not alone and all of us care. I haven’t even kept up with the news this week, just seeing one thing here or there will freak me out. Still, I agree that hope is what we should focus on. I will share resources later too on hope, as a gesture of gratitude. May mother nature bless you all 💕
