what, sleep?

I can't be the only person feeling like there's a onslaught of news coming at us so fast it actually has a physical feeling of being crushed, a lack of oxygen-I am both mentally and physically exhausted, and I have shelter, food and a bed to rest in, but I cant. Since so much of what is going on is unprecedented, I dont know where to look if this is some kind of syndrome or mental health issue, but my circuits feel shorted, I feel numb, unable to absorb much more and some of the sick humor is actually making sense, that is not good. Middle east filled with wars, Jews murdered while asleep in Israel, floods in Brazil with thousands dead andd homeless, fish and fowl found dead by the thousands all over, and Japan on the edge of nuclear catastrophe that is so large we cannot wrap our brains around the implications and how far the damage may span out. We do not know. But what I do know is the US government is not talking to its people even less than Japanese officials and plant owners are speaking to the IAEA and the Japanese about what's really tick tocking over there. 6 nuclear plants in the same neighborhood breaking down and they were sending helicopters with water to drop on imploding nuclear facilities to cool them? Who are we kidding here? With everything going on in Japan, why is Hillary in Egypt? Do the Egyptians not get that they are not a priority at this moment? Libya is being macerated by Khaddfi and no one has done one a thing except to suggest a no fly zone and today it was suggested its now too late for a no fly zone, Bahrain has foreign troops coming in, Saudis and Iran cracked their whips, but even and beyond this region is the possibility that an entire generation post WWII will be living with the devastating effects of nuclear radiation. The US media is mocking citizens for hunting down potassium iodide and the president and any of his henchmen dont have time for a press conference to specifically address this matter? Its as if its not happening. All the same idiotic programs are looped in and some news channels are speaking about the crisis but also trying not to alarm the American public, but having scientists from MIT explain this is unchartered territory and if Japan has pulled its nuclear plant workers OUT from trying to do anything further because the amount of radiation is actually 167x the amount a person would experience in 12 months-does that mean its game over? Run for the hills? MIT is asking...I dont know who's listening to the questions, because there seems to be very little overt panic, except if you go online and look around for emergency supplies, then you find the survivalists websites are out of stock on stuff which should tell us that alot of people are quietly taking charge of their own lives and safety, dont trust the government to do squat if it comes down to saving them. And what about the millions who dont have special shelters, bunkers, radiation tablets, gas masks and suits? Japan's PM is telling citizens to stay indoors...ahhh the old-duct-tape-the-windows-with-plastic-sheeting scenario..I guess that and hold your breath for a few weeks? It's all out of control, that's my raw nerve issue-lack of control. Its one thing when your personal stuff is chaotic but when you look around expecting the world to have some semblence of order and find its madness all over, I dont think they make a pill for that. Or maybe they do and are saving it for when we'll really need it?
