No I am not a shrink and it’s an observation. Is it insensitive? Yes. Giving a “damn” about what is happening is one thing. Panic attacks and nightmares are entirely a different matter.

Then should you be analyzing me and judging me as if you were? Passing observations are one thing, but that's not what you did. You passed judgment on my troubled state of mind as being attributable to something besides Obama. That's not your place, nor are you qualified to make such an observation.

People who had never suffered anxiety prior to 9/11 or other serious, tragic events in their lives began to experience all of these things afterward. I suppose you would say that having nightmares and panic attacks following tragedies surely had to have a deeper, underlying cause than the events in their current life. You know nothing about me. How do you know I'm not a licensed psychiatrist? Or a medical doctor?

It's called empathy. I recommend you get some. It's a good thing.
