My boyfriend sent me a disturbing article at 3:30 AM about a very possible pending World War III.

The dark thoughts that have ensued for me are: well, actually, if I were blown up in a nuclear war, life would certainly be FAR easier and I really wouldn't mind.

I have had these kinds of dark thoughts before, especially when facing more difficult times, which I am right now.

No more worrying about getting work, getting money, how to live, paying the bills, my mental health conditions, medications, doctors, health insurance, let alone my family members' and friends' health. No more stress, no more worry.

Guess I am not out of my SI completely... guess I am still in a dark place.

I hope this lifts soon, but a part of me really wouldn't mind if the world got blown up. :/

Then again, this planet is so very beautiful and astounding in so many ways, with so many wonderful people in it who do so many good deeds, it would be a serious tragedy. There is the more positive side of me.

I really hope my thoughts change soon. I do want to live and experience more of life, no matter how difficult it can get. Life is so beautiful. Yes, it's hard and painful, but it is still beautiful.

Wish he hadn't sent that article!

I believe there is good in most of our world. Unfortunately, the bad gets all the attention. We can at least bring peacefulness and kindness to our small part of this world.

Thank you for your input and I agree..... I need positive things like this right now.

if their was a world war 3 (but their probably won't be), we have come such a long way since 1945

we have better technology, countries are better prepared for things, we have better comunication with countries.. plus resources like clothing and food have come such a long way too
(((((hugs))))

You are right! Ty!

I think I may chastise my bf for sending me that article. It sent me down a dark path...

try and go easy on him.

I know it wasn't a nice thing, but maybe ask him first why he did it

might be a logical explanation why, and he might not have intended you to feel that way after reading it

I will. =)

I actually never chastise him... we usually have productive mature conversations when something is bothering us. I am sure he didn't intend anything by it and had no idea it would impact me in this way. I am just in a fairly fragile place right now I suppose.

I get triggered very easily by this kind of articles as well I hear you. Try to talk to your BF and ask him to never do that again..

Thanks, I will.

It even created scary/bad nightmares for me, too. Argh.

When people share things like your bf did, they are sharing their fears and insecurities. Truth is all one can do is continue to live their life because if something does happen we really don't have control over it. There has been global unrest and threats for YEARS, actually more than we know too. Also, often a threat like what is taking place with North Korea can be a catalyst for more unification that could become more positive.

please ask him not to do that.

My husband and I get in spats about this issue. I'll be sitting there drinking my coffee and he will walk in a dump a huge load of crappy bad news in me head before he even says good morning. (he's a Fox News addict)

I don't like to start my day like that dammit!

Like the others said, hysterical bad news gets ratings. There is a lot of good out there. It is a beautiful world. There is a website out there called "The Good News Network" I follow it on Facebook, so I get some good news mixed in with the usual crazy stupid chit on Facebook.

Hey, you're in the Northeast USA, so am I.

And thank you! You're sooo right. It is fear-based and this has been ongoing. He's almost obsessed over N Korea.

Perhaps I am burying my head in the sand and am turning a blind eye, but I have other much more pressing priorities and cannot worry about the threat of a war! Argh.

If we do, we do, and like you said, it's out of my hands. Perhaps it WILL unify more than ever, who knows???

I like your thinking!
