I’ve been running myself ragged volunteering at the shelters here in a safer part Lebanon and I’m still fucked up over feeling like I’m not doing enough. Rotting at home will make me feel even worse. I went outside for a walk and wanted to throw up, feeling guilty over being able to go outside and walk to destress as people’s homes get carpet bombed more intensely than legitimate military targets

Remember the amount of suffering a single human can help to alleviate is finite. You can't save everyone, and you absolutely can kill yourself in attempting to save everyone. War is bigger than any one person, and there is a point where you have done what you can do and you have to make peace with that
