Making myself ill

Please can someone help?
I’ve worked myself up into a frenzy these last couple of weeks, worrying about the future and the great reset etc and what’s actually going on. I’m so worried for my daughters future and can’t stop thinking/worrying about it all 😢

'The great reset' Hmm.

Whattheactual2020 · 07/11/2020 11:50

Or the fourth industrial revolution or whatever they’re calling it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Think a lot of people are suffering different degrees of anxiety. Don’t watch the news. Learn some relaxation techniques. Difficult to know what to suggest. Try and and get out and meet a friend, one who is preferably upbeat.

AgentProvocateur · 07/11/2020 12:01

Stop watching conspiracy theorists on YouTube. Read some upbeat fiction. Accept that there’s nothing you can do to change the future, except upskill or retrain for job you can do elsewhere, should you decide to move overseas.

Definitely stay away from the news. Watch cheerful movies. Go for walks--you need to see how people are faring in your area and see the 'normalcy.'

FWIW, there is no great 'reset.' Things are going on as normal aside from leisure and hospitality-people are still going to work (if not furloughed/redundant), kids are still going to school, people are going for walks, buying groceries, getting takeaways, etc.

What is the great reset?

Zzzexhaustedzzz · 07/11/2020 12:16

WWI
Whats the Great Reset?
Can someone come and explain it please, no flim flam mind.....

FizzyDizzy121 · 07/11/2020 12:17

It's all conspiracy theories - why are you reading/watching them? Confused

BrumBoo · 07/11/2020 12:17

@Summerstorms

What is the great reset?
A conspiracy theory that Covid was made up to introduce a New World Order. Same people who believe the vaccine will be used to control us and 5g is evil etc.
Whattheactual2020 · 07/11/2020 12:20

The great reset/fourth industrial revolution is no conspiracy theory though 🤷🏻‍♀️

Seems the OP is a new poster, so my guess is they're trying to spread misinformation under the guise of being naive and worried.
orangejuicer · 07/11/2020 12:21

Yes it is. Put your phone down and go for a walk or do something like clear out cupboards. We will get past this.

Whattheactual2020 · 07/11/2020 12:23

@BrumBoo No I’m not new, I’ve name changed, I don’t have any negative intentions and don’t want other people to be worried, I was/am hoping I’m reading too much into everything and have got it wildly wrong, I came for some reassurance.

orangejuicer · 07/11/2020 12:34

You'll be ok OP, just get some perspective. Are your kids fed and looked after? That's the most important thing.

Whattheactual2020 · 07/11/2020 12:41

And I’ve not been looking at YouTube conspiracy videos, I’m talking discussing on Talkradio, the mp Charles Walkers speech

yelyah22 · 07/11/2020 12:41

Stop reading about it, it's 99% nonsense. The world is not a nice place right now, true, but don't make it worse for your anxiety by reading that stuff

Hiddennameforever · 07/11/2020 12:44

@Whattheactual2020 I’m worrying too.
Someone posted yesterday some similar great reset but to read, it made physical sick.
It said something about that the testing damages our blood brain barrier inside our nose and we will all get ill from this and this will reset our memory to forget how lovely life was pre COVID.
It made sick just to reading it.
I deleted it immediately after but the bad taste stayed.

So what if there is a 'new world order?' What would change for you? Absolutely nothing. I'm a believer that the world is influenced by a small elite group of white men from powerful families established hundreds of years ago and who own the land and resources but, guess what, they don't (directly) affect my life--I'll be a low-income working minion regardless of who's in power.Grin

How would this make any sense at all?

AlCalavicci · 07/11/2020 12:48

I have not heard of 'the reset ' but why would every government in every single country agree to finacally, physically and mentally the damage their own country?

Let's face it what are the chances of every single government in every country agreeing on anything ?

I don't understand why people don't like the idea of 5G everybody couldn't wait till 4G came along this is a new improved version I'm guessing that the people named it wish they called it 4.1 or 4 Plus. No doubt it would have been accepted with no problems at all then.

@Whattheactual2020
Stop looking for conspiracy theories and YouTube idiots stay away from the news. Even with all the new current restrictions you can still live a relatively normal life it just takes a bit of getting used to.

Funkypolar · 07/11/2020 12:49

The Great Reset is real though, an initiative by the World Economic Forum.

Is this the same Charles Walker who opposes a second lockdown because (and I paraphrase) 'old people die anyway'?
Bluntness100 · 07/11/2020 12:50

Op. I think you need to give your doctor a call and fairly urgently too. Explain what you’re saying on here. They will be able to help you.

How does testing do this? Swabbing actually doesn't go anywhere near the brain so is it the chemicals in the swab that do this?

Ihaveyourback · 07/11/2020 12:53

Can you link op?

Can you show us what you are worried about? Lets all take a look and discuss it after we have seen it. There might be a rational explanation.
