How does the war in Ukraine affect your mental health?

[noname223]

Does it make you more or less suicidal? Does it have any influence on your suicidality? I thought about this when I talked with my friends. I am in Germany. Not Ukraine or Russia. Both of my friends said they are sometimes crying due to the situation and one feels physically sick. I was kind of astonished. I am the mental wreck normally such things should rather affect my mental well-being. But emotionally I don't feel burdened at all. I asked them for the reasons. They are scared to die, they are scared WW3 could happen, that they have to leave the country and that they might have to be soldiers in a war. The point were I could relate the most was they feel bad because the people of Ukraine are assaulted.

But for me I am not really in emotional pain because of that. When WW3 would happen it would make my life just more absurd. Probably it would be extremely bad for humankind. I would probably suffer a lot too. On the other hand I am really fatalistic about that. I am always worried that I don't play the cards which I have been dealt the right way. If WW3 happened I would not have had any influence. I would be happy if the war would kill me. Though it would probably not be peaceful. I am pretty sure my government would never give a mental wreck like me a weapon. Lol. I doubt they need a psychotic maniac as soldier.

I am barely affected due to this war. It is true it is a human catastrophe. But I follow the news a lot and there is everyday suffering. Syria or Yemen have heartbreaking situations since a very long time. But i got used to it after a while. Maybe I am too numb. I just have too much own mental demons I can't really spend too much energy on that. It is true the war is very close to our borders. If it happens it happens. I can't change anything.

To be honest I am curious what is happening next. It resembles for me the start of the covid crisis. Many were really scared that their lives could be screwed. I am just thinking my life is already shit just fuck it. Maybe not a smart way of thinking. But it changes nothing. I was always very interested how WW3 could happen. I read a lot about it. Looked at simulations and strategies.

Of course it would be horrble for so many humans. It must be prevented. I am very sorry that this happens to the people of Ukraine. I hope you find help for example in Poland or Germany. I absolutely don't want to say I am in favor of the war. I am very opposed to that. But I always was fascinated by military strategies and such scenarios. I follow the siuation closely.

How are you dealing with this? Probably the people from Ukraine must feel very horrible. There are probably some in this forum. As I said I am really sorry. I don't want to play down war. I hope you all can cope in some way of form with it. It must be crushing to leave your homes and all your possessions.

 

[DeutscheKartoffel]

I read the news that Kyiv is defending quite well and Russians are suffering heavy causality assumably because they cannot justifiably attack in large formations/ ignore civilians.

This conflict does not affect me as much because I am too far away from Europe.
However I do follow the news closely, and wish Ukrainian people free from Russian tyranny influence.

 

[Nolan96]

Ukraine and Russia are faraway-places, but they're still real to me. I had a friend from Ukraine once. I've always liked Russian movies and novels. I've always wanted to see Saint Petersburg, although I've never thought there was a significant chance that I actually would. In a weird way, I've always prided myself on seeing these people as people and not just the enemy, like maybe I'm part of the generation that can help heal the tension. Now there's little to no hope of that. Ukraine is in flames, and Russia has completely cut itself off my world. Many people in Ukraine are dying, many in Russia will go hungry.

I also know that this will create social chaos and paranoia in American society too. Something about Russia in particular does that to us. Anyone who doesn't think, speak, and act exactly the way the great woke algorithm tells them to is going to be treated extra badly the next few years. This will spill over into subjects that have absolutely nothing to do with Russia. I will definitely be affected by this, feeling more stifled and afraid than ever.

 

[Arrow]

Don't have much emotional involvement in it at all. I'm far away from it so it's just something to read about in the news. The outcome won't affect me and there's pretty much zero chance of any type of world war breaking out, so I just don't really care.

Gonna be a long post. Sorry for the rant/vent.
I am Russian and it made me want to ctb again (had a brief good period after getting right medication).
To be completely honest, I didn't really think of Ukraine back in the years which I guess is kind of natural. I was born when USSR collapsed already and Putin was a president already (which basically makes him the only president I've got in my life... the puppet one I don't see point considering a different one) and it was "a friendly bro country" for me, same as Belorussia. I was a teen when Crimea thing happened and I won't say I was completely against. I have friends from there who've just been happy they've avoided a war. Same teens as me who were glad their dads and bros didn't have to go to fight and die. I was glad too, it's been a huge patriotic wave about three years long after.
If there's anything you need to know about Russia it's that we're a dictatorship. It got progressively worse over the years: I still remember that when I was a teen we could talk and joke about politics and it was normal. Then talking became dangerous, then even social medias got not safe, people got arrested (even for individual protest!), tortured in police, beaten. Independent media? Closed or claimed foreign agents.
At this point I don't talk about politics in public spaces and most of social medias and when I do with my roommates (I live in students' dormitory) we close the door and speak quiter. My roommate ends the dialogues abruptly because we all feel creepy. Dormitory even sends us notifications it's illegal to participate protests. You can get arrested for like/repost in social media, even couple of years after one. You can't predict if you will be at the time you post.
I know that if I go protest as I should, I'll get arrested, more than 1000 people been already. It'll likely mean that I'll get kicked from my university, because there been cases of that in my Uni already. Then, maybe I'll either be fined or put into prison. Maybe I'll lose my job. Maybe I'll be tortured in prison, maybe to death or get disabled. All this happened before.
I have family and friends and I'm not sure I'll ever come back home if I join the protest.
I've never worked in a state institution, although volunteered helping people once. I've never once voted for Putine or Russia United. If anything, I've voted against constitution changes and used Navalny's smart vote system at the last elections. I've never supported this system, I couldn't go protests, because when I was old enough to go they were illegal already. Technically, I probably have nothing to be ashamed of but yet I am. All these facts mean nothing because really there is war between our brother nations and I'm part of nation who started it. I couldn't do anything but it does matter because I didn't even try to do anything. Yes, there are reasons, logical and likely even valid reasons.
And it all changes nothing. The only point is that thing happening right now and that I don't do anything. I hate myself so much for it and yet I can't do anything. It's devastating.
I can't work and I'm failing my work, I can't study, I can't do anything except reading news and crying. I'll probably go psychiatrist soon and try to do something to make me at least a bit functional.
I don't want to stop living but I want to stop feeling all these things but I can't allow myself to want to ctb either, because it's still not changing anything for the people who are suffering right now because of the nation I'm part of.
And to make it worse. I'm glad when Ukrainians win because it's right but people dying there are the same people too. There is not only contract army, you know? There are also conscripted guys my age thrown into it... Who were just unlucky enough to get conscripted (it's quite easy), and then forced to sign contract or it was signed even without them knowing. Both sides are people like me dying over what?.. I don't even understand. And yet I do nothing, CAN'T DO ANYTHING.
I feel devastated. I want to wake up.

 

[forgotten15]

The situation in Ukraina makes me extremely anxious and restless. I feel horrible knowing that ukrainians are going through this tragedy. I live near and fear things will change for the worse in my country too.

I'm a Chinese citizen and I relate to what you said. It sucks to be living under authoritarian states.

It's not our faults the governments are evil, against other countries and against its own people.

My heart reaches out to all the people that died or May die in this conflict, civilians and conscripted soldiers on both sides. It's truly a tragedy and Putin's the one that's responsible for all this nightmare.

 

[Sherri]

For the ones in the countries involved I can imagine a lot of stress and uncertainty , for us personally speaking the feeling of powerless of not being able to help more or do more. For years this was , was on the making then the plane crash down and they stopped for 5 years; Russians don't give up.

Thanks for posting this... this is what actual violations of free speech look like, not just "being criticized for saying offensive things." I think most people understand that this is not the fault of Russian citizens and that Putin is a mass murdering lunatic who only acts in his own self-interest.

 

[Kristicide]

No effect really. I'm glued to watching it and some images are upsetting. Hoping for a good outcome. I witnessed 9/11 in real life and it traumatized me. I think of it daily. Watching Ukraine on TV feels surreal because im not there. Maybe the effect will be a lower version of ptsd. I watch a lot of gore videos so i think I'm a bit less emotional now

 

[Lost Magic]

tbh, I broke down in tears a couple of days ago when I watched the bravery of the Ukraine people. I am a very emotional person anyway and this war has just piled even more sadness and despair onto me. So, I can only imagine what the people who live there are going through. It must be absolute hell on earth. Very sad state of affairs indeed.

 

[motel rooms]

@noname223 How do you feel about this?

"On Saturday, Germany reversed a historic policy of never sending weapons to conflict zones, saying the Russian invasion of Ukraine was an epochal moment that imperiled the entire post-World War II order across Europe.

On Sunday, Chancellor Olaf Scholz, marking nothing less than the most dramatic political shift in modern German history, outlined a sweeping reversal of the country's position on defense spending with the announcement of a €100 billion fund for new weaponry that he said would enable Berlin to fulfill its NATO spending commitments over the long term. After years of dragging its feet on defense spending, Berlin committed to even go beyond what its allies were asking when it came to investing in the Bundeswehr, the German army."

[Sherri]

Nothing will happen in the end. Russia is a super power with nuclear weapons, and europes biggest gas provider, so if they shut the plug we all gonna bathe in cold water. Sorry to sound so cold, Ukranians have endured so much since 2013, what a great and strong people they are. All they want is to remain a free country that their ancestors fought so hard for.

I am ambivalent about it. I have the feeling they will finally back down from these plans. This is a huge amount of money. When Putin stops his war and tries to negotiate I think many Germans /politicians will be opposed to this huge increase in military spendngs.
I think the sanctions for Russia are pretty dramatic. I rather think Putin will back down from his initial plans to make the Ukraine a Russian territor. He underestimated how the EU & US would try to punish him.
Personally I have really doubts whether we will really spend more than 2% of our budget for military in the coming years. I don't see that happening especially when the Ukraine crisis is over.

[Brick In The Wall]

I'd imagine this conflict affects anyone with even some semblance of a fucking heart. War has and will never cease during any of our lifetimes. It's a sad inescapable truth.

Edit to Add: One of the most powerful photographs I've seen in ages.

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

It's affected me a surprising amount. I feel bad on a soul level somehow. The world feels so dystopian lately. First two years of this pandemic shit and now potentially WW3 on the back of it. It's been a while since we've seen this level of evil, and a literal redrawing of the map by force. Putin is fucking deranged. He needs to be toppled asap.

 

[WhatDoesTheFoxSay?]

The sheer absurdity of it all.

One cannot help but react with utter disbelief and horror to the breaking out of war in the midst of a pandemic that has already claimed millions of lives. All of this feels so surreal. The Russia-Ukraine war is now headline news. Watching footages of death and destruction has sent chills down my spine, and fills me with dread. My heart aches for those affected. I cannot even begin to imagine what they're going through, and it's disheartening that there's no end in sight. It really sucks (pardon my language) that I can do not a single thing to help my fellow human beings—I've never felt so helpless. I stand in solidarity with civilians and soldiers from both sides, forced to participate in a war they never asked for, and I pray for a peaceful resolution to this conflict.

However, as distressing as the Russia-Ukraine war is to watch, it has given me an opportunity to reflect and count my blessings. I am indeed privileged to be able to enjoy food and financial security, have access to clean water and sanitation, and benefit from subsidised healthcare. Here where I live, I can speak my mind without fear of persecution, even when it comes to sensitive and controversial issues. While our politicians are not perfect, at the very least they're able to prioritise what's important in the here and now when it comes to decision-making, instead of being sustained by delusions of grandeur and paranoia. Most of all, I have loved ones that care about me, whom I will treasure as long as I live.

 

[Julgran]

Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

I'm a member of this community, so I had scarred state of mind before the Ukraine started, and I won't care, for my own sake, if the world as a whole implodes, but I do hope that anyone who does want to live can do so in peace.

If you do want to live, you may want to stuck up on necessities right now - before it's too late. That includes food, water, means of heating and communication, and entertainment.

Winter may be coming - let's hope it's not nuclear winter. This whole situation has been long in the making, but let's stop short of political dicussions in this thread.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I think it's definitely not doing my anxiety any favors. To be honest though, at first I had not cared as much about the situation because I'm in California in the US thus my mind registered this conflict as being like any tragic foreign news topic for places like Palestine, Syria, Crimea, etc. All those places seemed far too distant for my mind to be willing to expend energy towards beyond a simple "oh that's sad but I can't really do anything about it".

That was until I found out that @Nessie is from Ukraine and very much in potential danger. I don't think I've ever before had to contend with fearing for people I know in foreign countries though the possibility was always there because of my extended family in Taiwan and the constant fear of them being invaded by China, which has also been amplified by recent events. Who would have guessed that one of the few people to ever show empathy towards my issues would be someone I'd care about when I hear they're in danger of being invaded by a world superpower?

I'm also ashamed that at first I was looking at the positives behind the prospect of World War III starting. Things such as the ability to finally relax that America or its leaders for once aren't the worst thing on the planet, the fact this means the media finally has something else to talk about besides Covid, and the potential relief that I'll hopefully get to CTB before the year ends and war truly escalates. All of that outs me for the selfish buffoon that I've always been BUT for some reason lately my empathy drive, shriveled as I thought it was, has managed to make me feel an unprecedented amount of concern for these events and the potential impacts on the world even though I still can't really do anything about it. I don't think that's any better and it's also sad to say that for once focusing on the issues of the world might be slightly better for me than constantly feeling rage towards myself.

I guess like this conflict itself, it's complicated but what's not complicated is pushing it all aside just to say it's all complicated. Even with all those benefits I listed I'd still rather the whole conflict just be over right now and that the Ukrainian people are all safe and hopefully Putin gets retired and sentenced to live out the rest of his days watching anti-war cartoons. Yeah, sorry for this post. It's a mess.

 

[Skathon]

The only way to leave Eastern Europe is through the underworld, it seems... I'm ready to depart, yet I am still curious how it will resolve, I mean.

 

[Lost Magic]

I just thought I would mention that you can help the aid workers of Ukraine by donating whatever you can. The likes of Redcross are taking donations to help with food, water, first aid, medicines, clothes and shelter. So, you don't need to feel completely powerless in all this.

Doesn't affect me at all they're on the other side of the world, my life is still the same shit as usual

 

[JustAMatterOfTime]

I'm a real nerd for war and this kind of thing, might seem morbid but it does not affect my MH at all really, if anything it improves it because I see the suffering (for example those poor ukranian cancer kids trapped in hospital basement), and it makes me grateful for what I have and my home and life. I do not mean this to sound like I enjoy seeing people suffer though I am not a sadist it is just a reminder as I struggle with empathy.

 

[Insomniac]

as long as the US don't drop the atomic bomb on someone again, I'm fine really.

There are wars in many parts of the world, I don't consider this a special case. It'll only be if people start to bring out the nukes (which would be despicable).

How Ukrainians torture Russian prisoners. This is the Azov battalion - the elite of the Ukrainian troops. Some of these people have been caught and will face trial.

stop spreading your propaganda here, you nasty russian.
You have already boycotted many other threads that were giving relief to people that are troubled by this war or that are living it first hand. You have offended directly some users that are in a dangerous emotional situation right now.
Every time you jump in as the victim and you twist the discussion toward your topics, until it gets locked.
Are you an attention seeker? Or is this your way to get revenge for your sick country, causing discomfort to users that have nothing to do with the events you are suggesting?

Stop this nonsense. The users in this forum are already dealing with mental struggles and none of us need further anguish; we don't want to deal with your hatred and needs of revenge.

We don't want to deal with your hate either. But for some reason you think you have the right to discuss it. If you want my silence, be silent yourself.
