From the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: "Feeling overwhelmed or isolated, having trouble sleeping or difficulty concentrating are all common reactions to witnessing and experiencing community violence. Incidents of community violence can also contribute to heightened feelings of anxiety and depression, or lead to increased substance abuse. If you’re experiencing these emotions or feeling angry, confused, or distressed in any other way, please know you’re not alone."
