Not sure how to explain myself without feeling perfectly crazy... that shouldn't be new...

this line of thinking i've followed has me cornered... i feel helpless, hopeless, like giving in and giving up about everything.. feel alone, misunderstood... like i ever explain myself well anyway...

just black about everything... weak, wrong, stupid...

Ah, but you are not quite cornered because there is a crack in a door behind your back to PC :-) and this "room" is safe and has many good ways "out".

Sometimes it is hard to articulate what we are feeling. Feelings can be so tricky. That doesn't invalidate them or make them wrong. They are real and your experience right now. I hope you start to see that your are not weak, wrong or stupid. You have taken a first step and reached out. I am sorry that what you are feeling right now is so painful. Maybe it will get easier to see that you are not alone and there are others that understand. I know I do. Please take care and PM me anytime.

Reading your post is like looking in a mirror.

If that kind of thinking makes you feel perfectly crazy believe me you have a whole bunch of company. You're not weak, wrong or stupid.

I sincerely hope your black nothingness begins to lift soon.

ty Perna, BB, Fuzzy, Kebsfroggy...

my wording is kinda vague for a reason... i'm very thankful you each came now to care... usually i am strong enough or at least able to sweep up most of the mess i leave behind me, but this time i'm not certain...

a full explanation is my life story... i don't think i can deliver it coherently...

what if you believed something terrible was going to happen to yourself and a great number of those you cared about deeply? what if you had done all you could to prepare yourself and them, even though they didn't see the urgency you did, in what time you thought you had available? and then you found out your sense of timing might be wrong and you couldn't get ready in time?

i am talking about an event which seriously alters quality of life for many?

i have only recently become a total believer in God. and God is not going to rescue me or them...

Maybe you can contact someone who can help divert this from happening?

don't i wish... no one can prevent it... the stones were set in place years ago... i know i sound like chicken little...

what i'm worried about is Earth and climate change... thank you BB... no one can help it... it's too late...

i don't want to politicize... that's why i wasn't more specific... but i thought i had more time to get ready... you may laugh... i've been searching for safe places and even found a few, but maybe it was all for nothing... i'm not ready yet.. now i'm sounding crazy but add in all the other world crisis and, i don't know, it all just adds up to a doomsday scenario... i'm not afraid to die, my soul will keep, but all the poor children... it makes me sad...

I too am very concerned about climate change and global warming. Can we make the necessary changes to save ourselves or the next generation?
I don't know but humans are adaptable. Where billions live now only thousands will survive. Those thousands will make the adjustments necessary for survival.
Will I be among them....no. Will my children's children be among them....I will do my part to see it happens.

How do you like all that philosopy from a frog of little brain.

Believing something is not the same as it happening/coming out that way. We cannot see and do not control the future, we can only individually do the best we can right now and the rest is in God's hands.

You have been quite clear. What you describe is called anguish. It seems to me that you are in a bad episode and thus you shouldn't trust your emotions. Yes, pollution and other stuff are concerns, but one should care one problem at a time, yours now is the health of your mind.

Just my opinion

my friend, you are not weak, wrong or stupid. You are a kind, caring and very compassionate person and I for one love you. You are so supportive towards others, I hear what you are saying and worry too about what we are doing to the gift of a planet we were given.

Just want you to know I am sending you hugs and care and positive thoughts across the pond!!!! Love you, Kerry xx
