Richard … it will be so much better for your well-being if you can stop catastrophising. There is no way anyone is going to attack London. The doctrine of nuclear deterrence is the same today as it was throughout more than 40 years of Cold War. If he attacks a nuclear power he will get the same in return. There is no winning in such a scenario - it is entirely self-defeating. Which is the point. (M.A.D. stands for Mutually Assured Destruction, and also indicates the folly of heading down that path).
I know these are disturbing times but it would help you no end if you stay away from rolling news tonight and then talk through your worries face to face with someone you trust tomorrow.
