anxiety through the roof! 21st december!

[kaylasmum]

i'm totally obsessing about the world ending on the 21st, i suffer from general/health anxiety and this is really worrying me. finding it hard to cope and i feel really sick and dizzy today.

Plz go and talk to ur GP. My oh became completely obsessed with the end of the world and a few other conspiracy theories. Over last week he got worse and worse until he had a complete paranoid meltdown and has ended up being sectioned. U need to talk to someone so yr anxiety doesn't go out of control and plz plz dont research it on the internet as it really will not help u

As my son said yesterday if the mayans were so good at predicting the future surely they wouldn't be extinct?!

Oh, and the mayans have no leap days so the calendar ran out several months ago too....

Chat to your GP/CPN if your anxiety is getting out of hand that is a horrid thing to be happening, but forget about the mayans.

i feel so stupid though, i don't think my gp would be sympathetic. What can they do?

I also worried intensely about this date. Go on to the Nasa website, it explains how there are no scientific theorys whatsoever to back it up.
It is very, very unlikely to happen, please don't worry about it.

Don't feel stupid, you know this isn't really about the world ending, but another symptom of your anxiety disorder. Presumably your GP knows you suffer from anxiety, and has been sympathetic in the past? I am sure they would be helpful and might be able to prescribe you something to manage your mood just over the next couple of weeks - Christmas and the New Year can be pretty stressful even without the additional worry of the end of the world! (I'm joking!)

Is there anything that we can do to reassure you?

All of this hoohah comes down to the fact that some ancient people had an amazing calendar that was so good that it's cycle outlasted their civilisation, and they didn't hang around to update it. This is no different to buying a calendar for each year. With your logical head on you know that just because the calendar ends on the 31st December you WILL still wake up on the 1st January.

kaylasmum go to your GP this isn't about 21/12 daftness, this is about your mental health not being as good as it has been and that's a medical matter.

I just wonder why nasa are making online
Videos to reassure people, makes me think they are just trying to cover it up.
