Yep, me too!

As an X-gen child of the 70s/80s I was at various points terrified of nuclear bombs!

Watching Threads when I was way to young didn't help...

There are times when I'd lay terrified in bed when I heard a jet engine over my house, and thought it might be a nuclear bomb!

An article I read a while back suggested that X-Gen kids have a form of PTSD from the Cold War!

Well I hope you got over it! I never did, in truth.
Honestly, not really!

It's all been dragged up again recently!

Right now, it feels like the Cold War never ended.
