I don't want to be part of the problem again

With society collapsing, famine and war looming in Europe in the next few years…

Medication is important not do too much crazy stuff like go out at night on my own cycling or go in the sea in the dark it all feels irrational.

although i can get an oversized cheap wetsuit for summer and finally go in the sea tomorrow, with having got some sleep… no point staying up on you tube all night - husband at work all night

I have to calm down and look away from the science. I can’t burry my head in the sand again either…
i just switched to environmentally produced make up and kept spending money i dont’ have yet.

privileged and living in peace time as well as being lucky I’ve not been scared like this before.

Sounds good. I don’t hear a lot about Europe except some major stuff about global warming and stuff. Brexit too.

yeah
predicted time frame for these events will happen by 2023

@Toshiko . I think you’re suffering for excessive worrying. Catastrophic thinking basically.

Catastrophic thinking is a symptom and I think you should report it to your psychiatrist. Just so they know.

None of the things you’re worrying about are going to happen in our lifetimes if ever.

For what it’s worth even a small bit of L-theanine helps me with catastrophic thinking. But maybe your psychiatrist could suggest something stronger.

i wish i could bring peace of mind to others

i need to stay sane or it will destroy what is left of my family

It sounds bad…just by the name. I dont believe that stuff. Put positive stuff in ya. Good luck.

its an international uprising
they are shutting down Westminster - where sits parliament, in UK in October for 2 weeks

I think it might be a good idea to stop watching youtube videos about this stuff.

Getting involved in “causes” can lead someone who is mentally ill down a very dark path.

You sound like you have a good heart and are trying to do some good.

But I’ve learned it’s probably better to concentrate on things “nearby” rather than planetary/global things. If that makes sense.

This is why Extinction Rebellion are possibly never going to make enough difference quickly enough…
i think it is duty to share it.

USA under Trump and UK under Brexit are smoke screens

at the same time i worry to become controversial and bad for people
I’m still scared for others

Stop pushing people on here to be political. We need to live low stress lives.

Find a political forum to vent on.

i am not venting at all - not even slightly
i have found myself terrified that there will be an horrific future in the near term
tell people what is happening is part of global responsibility

This forum has been a go to for me since Schizophrenia.com chatroom 14 years ago
it is one of my main support networks
i am finding that there is no understanding here of the important decisions of this age
it is a real shame that i find you being right that I should find somewhere else
I’m telling the truth

Uh, it’s a schizophrenic support forum. We get some of what you’re talking about and we post links to rock videos and stuff but not only is political stuff boring but we can’t separate some facts from delusions and while there’s enough intelligent people on here with intelligent opinions when we get stuff like you’re saying it often crosses the line into delusional thinking.

It has been said that the best thing a individual can do for the environment is go vegan.

If you watch cowspiracy they say this also.

It’s good for us to do our best or do what we can for the environment, the world, animals, each other etc but it’s good to be positive and try to keep positive.

Hope you will not have your knickers in a knot about the badness there is but keep the hope and positivity and just do what you can.

I also use vegan makeup although I stopped wearing makeup again.
I only wore vegan lipgloss today.

Yeah - i have seen cowspiracy and a few others.
attempting to be vegan (i’m about 90% vegan most days) sugar free vegan is a big deal i can’t do both and I have huge sugar addiction

noting scary like them saying you have 12 years (climate change) to turn it all around

then that nothing can happen over the 11 yrs other than what we change in the next 10 months

then they say that in 3 - 10 yrs it will be catastrophic.

all the time today i looked at prepping.
i think when other see you have food - guess what - they will come to yours.
also it is not really possible for me to get good at knives or hunting or health medicine

I wouldn’t be good for anything without my meds no good for a team living in the forest

i’m not kitted out or the right type to get into survival stuff,
preparing for physical attack seems silly but if i had to stay away from a pandemic disease, maybe i can prepare for that - stockpiling food now
