Something big is coming ...

My late mum's favourite "saying"...

Crap happens, whether you worry about it or not, so chin up, live life.

IT HAS HAPPENED!

I AM FINALLY STUCK IN A LIFT AT WORK..

I think this is a very normal reaction to the current state of the world (trump / Gaza / Ukraine etc).

I've always been a news buff. Will watch and read 24/7 if I could. But lately, like you, I've found myself feeling that impending doom 🤣.
But mostly anger if I'm honest, so I've had to take a break from it.
It doesn't help that I was brought up in a doomsday cult so that's always at the back of my mind. What if they were right all along. Even though I know it's all nonsense.
But I just tell myself, if it happens, run to that mushroom cloud and get it over with.

Dreadful things and global crisis are happening all the time, every day, all over the world. If that makes you feel any better.

@Soupwithstring

Hope your recovery has gone smoothly and that your well deserved break recharges your batteries.

I was a T5 Champagne Bar virgin until last month. My pre trip glass of bubbly was worth every spendy penny so ENJOY each sip!

I have checked with Chat GBT for you. There are no widely anticipated monumental global events scheduled for tomorrow. But it is World Kindness Day.

I think when you are feeling like this the best thing is to step away from the news and cocoon yourself a bit.

Relax. Dreadful things happen, so the chances of something big occurring when you've had a doom moment are high - that's just arithmetic. You can't predict the future. Do your bit with climate change. We all can. Ignore the rest as you can't do anything.

If you're going to refer to typos and spelling mistakes to insult other posters it's advisable to check your own posts before posting.

I watch the news a lot less. I'm so much happier. I check once a day now. No TV news at all.

I tend to feel this way when I'm fighting something off! You might come down with a cold or something!

My bet is on migraine plus 24/7 news reporting on world leaders speculating and planning for a Trump presidency, with a whole host of experts and advisers being interviewed for their takes on it.
It’s literally everywhere.

I think your 6 Oct was probably coincidence. The older I get the more amazed I am at the amount of insane coincidences both small and big.

I agree with limiting your news exposure, focusing and concentrating on what is in your control and watching and listening to stuff that you find relaxing and undemanding. It sounds an awful feeling. Hope it passes soon.

Stop watching/reading the news.

I did during Covid and it’s great. Dh knows not to tell me anything negative unless it’s WW3 panic stations and we need to build a bunker. I like living in ignorant bliss!

Well to be honest really horrible shit is probably going to happen fairly soon, but it'll all be on the other side of a screen - e.g. climate change making some parts of the world uninhabitable, huge hordes of refugees arriving and being machine gunned at the border, that sort of thing. Probably won't affect you materially so don't worry be happy. 😁

I don't want to seem like I don't take what happened to Israel last October seriously but something terrible happens everyday if you look for it.. Wars, natural disaster, terrorist attacks. basically everyday in Palestine since October last year. The world is huge!

So you would have always been able to find something that proved your 'feeling' whatever day it was

That's definitely what the underworked medical profession needs.

Well yes, old mother shipton and Nostradamus have a rival. Something catastrophic will happen today like it does every day op. Do you describe yourself as an empath as well ?

I'm a migraine sufferer and they do make you feel a bit weird from time to time so I'd imagine it's just that. Hopefully 😂

I too am quite old. And realise the more things change the more they stay the same!

As a child I we were taught about the 4 minute warning. Which was, for those of you who don't know, the approximate length of time it would take a nuclear missile to attack the UK from The Soviet Union. If I remember rightly we were told to go in a cupboard or under a table!!

Throughout the following years as a PP poster has said there has been numerous conflicts and scary world events.

How many hours did we all spend watching the conflict in Ukraine when it kicked off? However I bet before Trump's election you hadn't even thought of it much.

So you have to get on with your life. Best advice on here is to stop watching the news at the moment.

Hope you find relief soon OP.

If it's any consolation I once left work and rushed home because I felt really uneasy. Just a dull grey day but I felt really scared, and asked my ex-H if anything was on the news. Nothing had happened.

On the other hand, I spent ages crying at work earlier this year because I was pregnant and someone on the radio was talking about Putin detonating an atomic bomb in the next five years. I just could not deal with that. (Wouldn't have happened if my colleague had changed the radio station either!)
