Anyone feeling very anxious over WW3 with Russia or USA

[Starrynight999]

So.. I was already in edge with the tensions everywhere and now with what trumps doing all I keep hearing is people
saying WW3 gunna start and then that said gone or what the point saving money few months and we won't be here.. I do suffer with anxiety disorder I won't lie, but I'm torn now wether than anxiety in me is this justified or do we thing something will change? Or nato won't trigger 5 if he takes Greenland or even Russia threat it actually make me sick now worried I am .

sorry but if rant guys sorry!

I think we are already in WW3 to be honest. We just dont have the benefit of hindsight to identify the starting point yet.

You still need to save etc, and carry on being sensible. If anything, be more sensible!

I also worry lots about everything generally, but I'm not worrying about this. There's fuck all you can do to change the situation, so it is what it is.

I manage it by being prepared to face it, and know that humans have the ability to adapt and change. I try to make sure I have the recommended be prepared stuff in the house. And just keep plodding on really.

We seem to have this exact thread on loop.

Some people are worried and some are not.

I'm not as it's a waste of energy since there's nothing I can do about it.

No. Clearly, we can’t rely on the US right now but we’re not going to go to war with them. And Russia have had a massive reality check over Ukraine.

Ukraine will be sacrificed, our economies will suffer. That’ll be the worst of it, I reckon. Poor Ukraine ☹️

I’m sorry to hear this. It makes me angry to think these stupid men steal our peace of mind. All I can say is that I lived through the Cold War in the 80s: Thatcher, Reagan, the USSR… Protect and survive, American missiles on British soil and so on. It seemed inevitable that I wouldn’t see adulthood and here I am 60 years old! Don’t let these horrible people take the spring out of your step , it’s all testosterone and one up man ship . Allow yourself a few minutes of worry and then move on. Whatever it is that you love doing , do lots of it. They try and keep us in control with fear. Don’t let them. God bless you!

I hear you. I suffer from crippling anxiety, even taking double the dose of sleeping pills, doesn't quite my mind enough to sleep.

I've also worried about nuclear war since I was young. The Cold War, films Luke Threads, The Day After Tomorrow and When the Wind Blows didn't help.

I used to sleepwalk, screaming as I heard the siren in my sleep and my parents would come in and wake me up.

I actually heard the siren for real once, so I knew how I'd react (it was set off by accident, I broke my ankle, but adrenaline kept me moving, watching cars stop and people come outside).

Putin threatens us every other week and has done, since the Ukraine War started.

Tru,mp is a different matter. He doesn't seem to be able to act logically or with any thought.

I admit I'm scared, the thought of conscription terrifies me, and I wish I could hide my children, as I don't think this country's worth dying g for now, so different from when my grandparents had to.

There is nothing we can do though. I hope that there is a balance and checks procedure in the Senate, which curtails Trump's irrationality.

The world has been as scary before though, I wasn't born when the Cuba Missile Crisis happened and that was scarier.

I do think there is valid concern based on the facts we have. But I also know that I personally can’t do anything about it. So whilst I do still follow what’s happening, I’m not dwelling on it. I can’t install a new US president or make Russia pull out of Ukraine.
