I’m worried for the world. All I’ve been thinking about is WW3 and this shit makes me want to vomit. I can’t even smoke weed anymore without having a near panic attack. I feel unmotivated. I wake up and immediately just want to go back to bed. I’m not trying to spread fear but the Doomsday clock is 90 seconds till midnight, during the Cuban missile crisis, it was 7 minutes before midnight. Can we just have one day of fucking peace? Can everyone just stop for one day and enjoy one day of peace?

    Do not worry about the things you cannot control. You’ll be regretting not using the most peacetime if it ever ends or never happens and you look back. To not live your life to the fullest when you have the freedoms others do not would be a terrible shame.

      Good advice!
      Not sure if I like “live life to the fullest” anymore, though. It sounds so 90s to me: Doing your thing, not caring about anything. Maybe I’m getting old and grumpy, but I’d rather like everyone to live their lifes humble and responsibly, than to continue the egomaniac insanity of the Western lifestyle from the past decades.

    You think that you are already dead? Well that just gives you the freedom to do everything you are scared of.

    There is no consequence anymore so do whatever you want. Just don’t make life worse for people that haven’t wronged you. That would just be bad manners.

    Often a change of perspective is all you need to see that a piece of shit can be the groundwork for a beautiful flower.

    I worry! Every. Single. Day.

    I worry about my social media addiction, about the fact that I’ve read once books like a maniac, but hardly read any books at all now. I worry about Fake News and racists on the internet and about ignorance on the streets and fascists in the government. I worry about hot summers and warm winters. I worry about the future of my young nephews. I’m worried about war. I’m worried for the world and thus for the whole of humanity.

    I’m fine! My life is good. I don’t have panic attacks. But there is always this slight worry in my mind and if I think about it, it gets bigger.

    Others recommend a social media detox. That’s a start. Chill a bit. Relax. Enjoy the spring. Maybe learn a new thing, get a new hobby, like cycling or cooking. And then maybe, start doing something about the things you can change. I’ve learned a new phrase this week, it’s „productive restlessness“. You can’t do anything about world war 3, but maybe you can change other things.

    And please, don’t allow others to take advantage over you, using your fear. Don’t buy a nuclear bunker for your garden if you can’t afford it, please don’t start believing in crazy conspiracy myths and tell the tankies to go to hell, when they try to tell you that you should vote for trump if you want peace.

    A fellow worrier.

    These daily doom saying threads on this website are pathetic. No more weed for you friend. Time to turn off the news and touch some grass.
