I totally understand this consuming anxiety you're going through right now. I personally am not having it over the same thing, but I know what you mean by wondering why it's having such power over you. The first thing that came to mind is this: It's not real, it's just a movie. It won't effect you or even physically touch you. You'll be fine. Smile :)

I hope you feel better. I heard about what happened as well and it got me anxious too. I felt like hiding. My fiancee had wanted to go see that movie and now because of what I heard on the news, I won't go.

I hope things improve and you can enjoy your concert somehow.

I took my two teenage kids to the premire last night and just thinking about the fact that it could have been us really is causing me terrible anxiety too. The thing is we don't even live in Colorado, but our minds tend to play tricks on us and often puts us in the place of what others might be or did go through in that situation. I often have trouble going places and doing things in this fear that something may happen. But I was given good advice and that was we are not in control of what will happen in our lives and if we live every day in fear we are not living. Try and go to the concert on Sunday. It will rest your mind a bit when you come home safe and sound. Good luck and let us know. (((HUGS)))

It is very upsetting, and just makes some of us even more anxious and not want to go out anywhere. I know how you feel.

it gets to me too cuz s young baby died there and i lost my son so it is a reminder for me :/
so i guess in a sense we are in the same boat just yours is a concert and mine is me missing my son
