everything is scary and no one cares
i don't know how we are supposed to live our daily lives like everything is normal when things around the world are so tumultuous. I probably shouldn't mention specific politics, but I have noticed that certain things have gotten very scary as of late. The constant threat of rights being taken away, the constant violence and cruelty and ending of lives. The feeling of wanting to change the world but knowing that you're up against so many people who think differently and don't give a *** about you. The environment being destroyed for profit, things constantly getting more and more expensive, stagnating wages, etc etc.
I have my own inner world to worry about, but it seems so minuscule in comparison to things that have been going on before i was born and are likely to continue indefinitely despite so many people fighting for change. when it feels like the only solution that people care about is throwing money you dont' have at the problem.
My landlord won't fix problems in my house, i have to beg for hours at work, my family is far away from me and on the opposite side of the political spectrum and falling further and further away from me emotionally.
the brain likes stability, but it just feels like every aspect of my life and the world are constantly being threatened from every angle and i can't possibly do anything about it.
but like, anxiety is just in your head, right?
@affableStrings4654 the world can seem like a cruel place in times, and life isn't always easy. But there are people who care, I care ❤ you know for every bad thing that's happening in the world, there are still double the amount of good amazing things happening ❤and you do have the power to change the world, we all do. All it takes is one good deed at a time. I hope you get to see lifes magic instead of life's hate. Hugs you tightly ❤
I can relate to this!! My anxiety has been triggered a lot because of certain events or situations politically for a long time now. Not all of us can do something to contribute to the bigger issues. I have to keep telling myself that I can't contribute to solving the larger problems if I am swimming in my own.
@HealingGriz that's very true. I wonder if i need to work on community building instead, so i don't feel like it's such a personal burden.
That sounds like a good place to start. I hope you'll share how it goes.
@affableStrings4654 I understand how you feel, I am in the same position. The world is a scary place and there is not a lot of love left in it. Everything feels different and help, help is a hard thing to find. I hope we can one day find comfort in the things that we love to do or comfort in the friends or family that we may have. Sometimes we really think it’s us against the world, like we are all alone. I hope you find comfort my friend, this journey will not last forever for us. Better is to come, I hope and pray 🙏🏾

I also feel like this sometimes. Stay awake because of worry. But that's the nature of the world maybe.. Part of it always constantly gets in trouble.. but at the same time somewhere else flowers bloom too.. someone celebrates while welcoming a child. Like 2 sides of the coin.. It's not always bad or always good.. Best thing we can do is to take care of ourselves..Battle negativity.. Do our best where we can and support each other. 💕 we are together in this.
