What kind of benefits do you have in the UK that you’re considering this?!?
Holy crap, man.

No one thinks anything bad will happen until it happens.
Wrong.
ROFL Clozaril is my god, lol.
If it’s all ending, raid your local pharmacy.
worse yet, study chemistry and neuroscience, make your own meds

It’s not that I don’t think anything bad could happen.
We just have very limited control when it comes to a nuclear threat.
By limited control, I mean no control.
Worrying about it constantly and letting it impact your day to day is pointless.
Or were you saying that statement was wrong?

You are right bad things are happening in the world.
But complacency and normalcy and dismissing things doesn’t make it not possible.
Nuclear war is not impossible.
We think so many things are impossible but look at what’s happened.
Also - not really saying you are wrong @Charles_Foster
Still must live life. I get that.

True,
It’s been a weird few years.
I get where you are coming from.

I voted other.
I was a bit on edge when they were fighting near the nuclear plants to possibly set off a accident, but after that I haven’t thought much about it. I’m at peace with it. If some maniac decides they want to die and take the rest of the world with them there’s nothing I can do about it. But I think playing the nuke card takes some serious circumstances. If the leaders are sane it’s not likely to happen.
Yeah. I have a supply of Haldol in one of my bug out bags.
I figure if that supply runs out, I may have run out of 0.22 bullets for small game by then, and my situation might have become a little weird, anyway. Is Haldol withdrawal really going to be my biggest problem if I’m trying to learn how to make my own arrows out of wilderness materials and scraps?

well maybe just some hard labour using volunteers, get some guys to shift the soil and do the ground work, buy some cheap mono block and double insulate it with a lead lined cavity, the air purifier and fresh water supply could be a problem, maybe have have a mixture of tins for a few years.
You think someone else is going to volunteer to build you a bomb shelter?
I would not expect that.

No but i think it would be good to know where to go in-case of an emergency but i think by the time i get there it would be too late,
There are still some old bomb shelters from the ww2 in some gardens dotted around, but i guess if i had to do it i would need permission and also i’d have to do it myself,
I think i could hire a small digger for a week and work tirelessly to shift the tons of soil, the hard part would be laying a foundations and lifting the mono block, roofing., so here are some costs involved
- hire a small digger for a week
- pay for sand and concrete and hire a mixer
- source several thousand monoblock and have it delivered as close to job as possible.
- pay for air purifiers & water filtration systems & supply,
- pay for plumbing and waste management
- the roof may be a problem and the place would need a secure hatch at the top.
- then its just kitting it out with a bed and some food.
idk how much that would cost but a lot cheaper than the ads i shared
Well, your ashes may drift to it if the wind is going in the right direction.

sorry i don’t find that funny tbh, that’s a bit upsetting
I think you wouldn’t make it to a shelter in time even if you had a personal one.
And if you’re making a cheap one,
Like you plan,
You likely wouldn’t survive if you made it to the shelter.
You’re thinking about this too much.
You’re just a regular person, you have no control over nuclear threat.
It’s not worth this energy.
Humour is how I cope.
So i found this map, you can enter place name and other details press the red button and it gives you an idea of what to expect from nuclear attack.

They clearly are not. I feel they are playing a crazy game of bluff poker. Both sides. More than in their sanity, I have trust in their selfishness. They have riches and power and women. @daydreamer, do you believe those with their hands on the buttons want to blow that up to sit in a bunker for decades until the dust settles, and then live on a shattered earth? Also, if there is a nuclear war, I think we’d have no earthly worries anymore. Digging shelters and studying nukemaps isn’t helping you, it’s making your fear worse, i feel. Focus on the small, loving things in your own daily life.
Also, don’t believe everything your leaders and media tell you. They benefit from fear and hate against the enemy - it’s the same over and over and over in history. Russians and muslims and unvaccinated and all the others they tell you to fear, are for the biggest part just normal people who are as frightened of war as you, and wish for a loving, peaceful life. As you do.
And I know it’s easy to say: i also fear quickly, and tend to obsess and look for info and ways out. It’s just not helping though.

people are inherently bad no matter how much we protest we all have the potential to sin and that means that there is always a threat, one of the reasons I goy unwell was bc of the uncertainty and fear in the world of the future, climate change and it felt like we were all kind of doomed in a way.

This forum is not representative of the majority of people who are actually suffering real hardship, most people with mental illness have a very hard disabling life and they are in torment, imagine what all of this evil is doing to them 
we are the privileged ones who are stable enough and able to post things on a public forum.
