After 9/11, I stayed in bed for about 6 months straight, except for work. I'd get up, go to work, go home and right back to bed. I hardly even ate most of the time. Eventually, I got back to living again, but it took me a while. Hang in there. I wish I could say that eventually this will go away, but terrorism is probably part of the new way the world works. We just have to adjust to it and recognize that like any other violent crime, we can minimize it to the best of our ability and find ways to go on in spite of it, and realize that only a very small percentage of people are actually killed by terrorists. (Yes, I realize that even one is too many, but you can say the same thing for murder and rape and all the other horrible things that humans have had to live with over the centuries.)

On the bright side, 1000 years ago people wouldn't even have gotten that upset over something like this. The reason we get so upset over violence and terrorism is because we live in a society that values human life more than any other society in history.
