Anybody else feeling this?

Those terrible images keep playing in my mind,the burning building,those poor people jumping,I keep thinking of the total terror the people on the planes must have gone thru. I tried turning my mind away from it,I tried to study my Win2k Server cram book,that was too heavy so I did my typing tutor program and then felt so guility for wanting to relax and not think about these things for awhile.

Those poor people won't get a chance to think about anything ever again and this tragedy is all their loved ones will think about for quite some time.I feel like such a wussy scum, I can't tolerate a few days of emotional discomfort ? I'm still here and alive when so many very busy,important,brave people who made real contributions to the world even on the way to their doom are dead. I feel so sad and so gulity, anybody else feeling like this ?

no, but i hope you find some peace soon. sometimes living is worse than death, just fyi, so don't feel too guilty. like a week ago some dad accidentally killed his 10 year old son. i can't imagine how life would be better than death at that point.

hope you feel better soon!

They just played the video of the plane crashing into the first tower again on CNN, made me shudder. Hopefully there'll be some resolution to this in the near future...

 

[gopunk]

i'll tell you what makes me shudder, not the video, but the voicemail they play of that women leaving a last message for her husband.

 

[jehh]

I know the feeling...

I haven't been able to do anything this week either...

I'm over the shock now...

Now I want my vengance...

I do... i keep imagining how it would feel like to be one of those who had to jump. I'm deathly scare of heights, but imagine looking down at 100 stories... and then looking behind you, seeing flames. Do you jump? Do you really expect to live if you jump from such heights? I don't know, that was disturbing to see all those people jump. I don't even think it was intentional.... those rooms were probalby so filled with smoke, that they ran to whatever light they saw...

GP,

I hear you... I can visualise those poor people with their cell phones making those calls... can you imagine how helpless and awful it must have felt to be the receiver of one of those calls ?

yea, it is really tragic and my eyes feel like they want to cry whenever i think about that voicemail and the one where the guy calls his mom and just tells her that he loves her. that is really heavy stuff. i know that if i got a phone call like that i would be out of my mind, knowing that there was nothing i could do about it. i'd probably be screaming and tearing my hair out.

 

[bolomite]

Heard something about people holding hands as they jumped from the buildings... gets me choked up.

 

[yellowperil]

Lots of tragic stories. I've been feeling depressed these last couple days, and even kind of irritated when I see people laughing. I know that's no way to be living but I can't help it. Probably 20 thousand people saw their last seconds of life in terror, jumping off edges to avoid burning, unable to call their families to say goodbye because of jammed cell phones, ceilings and floors collapsing around and on top of them. Imagine counting to twenty thousand, pausing in-between to think of someone else you know. It happened all at once and maybe that's why it's hard to imagine.

 

[ChrichtonsGirl]

I feel the same way, baffled. I'm either on the verge of crying or ripping someone's head off 90% of the time right now and I'm having a really hard time making myself eat or do normal stuff right now. I got some very bad news about something personal, and I can't even care about it right now.

I'm making myself keep the television off today and I'm going to try to go do something that I usually enjoy doing, just so I can try to find some thread of normalcy.

 

[DaveJ]

I'ev been trying to stay away from the news for the last few days.... it's really hard when you're surrounded by it but I've been trying to resume something of a normal life. It's extremely difficult, but it must be done. I've lost touch with some good friends over the years and this has given me the resolve to get back in touch with them, just to let them know how much they mean to me. I know for a fact that I am extremely fortunate to be where I am in life, as all of us are, and I give thanks for that every single day. I can only hope that some good comes out of this, and that we become stronger because of it.
