   Hi all.  Been feeling pretty crappy today, and started thinking (which   
   usually doesn't help)...  Anyone else find their emotional state is   
   strongly influenced by world events, even when you're not aware of those   
   events (like you haven't read/watched/heard the news at all, but only   
   learn of things later)?   
      
   I first connected this years ago at the time of the Boston marathon   
   bombing.  Everything was normal, then I suddenly felt very bad, nearly   
   overwhelmed by pain.  It wasn't until several hours later that I saw the   
   news and found out what happened.  The bombing happened a nearly the exact   
   time I felt the pain.  I lived about 800 miles away.  The only explanation   
   I had was that the I had felt the event without knowing of the event.   
      
   Anyone with similar experiences?   
      
   And, if I feel the pain of distant events, what happens when the entire   
   country (or the entire world) falls into pain-inducing chaos and violence?   
   Am I feeling Minneapolis?  Ukraine?  Everywhere else?  If so, could   
   everyone just stop inflicting pain on others and let me have some peace?   
      
   Or is my mood just the result of the current solar storm frying my   
   brain...
