i know worrying won’t make a blind bit of difference but I feel so uneasy and just plain scared. Things seem to be ramping up. Sorry to unburden, I know nobody has a crystal ball but I suppose im just wanting some reassurance I could be wrong itms.😳

When I tell my husband I'm worried he says "There's no point in worrying - there's nothing you can do about it". To which I say "That's why I'm worrying! If I could do something about it, I wouldn't worry I'd just do it. It's the fact that I can't do anything that makes me worry." We'll never see eye-to-eye. 😔

Yes It doesn’t help at all does it. At one time he’d reassure me but he doesn’t anymore. It’s all right for him he isn’t the slightest bit worried. Not that he doesn’t think it might happen but he thinks it’s what the world needs.

When I voice my concerns to dh he just says, “good bring it on.” No wonder I come on here. 😟

Just go for a lie down with a nice vodka and tonic (without the tonic) 😉

Eh. Either we're all going to die in a fiery nuclear apocalypse, or a fiery climate apocalypse. There's not point worrying about it either way. Just get on with life.

There have been various times once WW2 where we have been on the brink and it hasn't happened .

Get on with your life.
