Anxious and scared about the future

Postby John76 » Sat Dec 05, 2015 1:50 am

Hey everyone, as the title says I am just always feeling anxious and scared about mine and my family's future. It just seems like there are so many things to worry about in the world and I can't stop worrying about it. There's the threat of terrorism and the possibility that the situation could escalate into a civil war and/or even a world war which as a decent person who just wants to live a peaceful and happy life this terrifies me, the threat of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction, again this terrifies me and I pray I never have to see this happen anywhere or anytime, but then there's also other concerns such as global warming, and an antibiotic resistance pandemic.

I ask myself; Is it even fair to bring a child into the world? It makes me feel awful. It seems like the world is facing so many problems right now and as someone who's not very strong mentally it's horrible. Not only that but I don't want to see my family and loved ones feeling scared and upset about things going on in the world. This is something else I'm worried about for the future. I know I'm weak mentally but I thought I would just come on here to express my fears and concerns. Thanks for reading. John.

Hey John!
As I was reading you I felt like reading something that I've wrote awhile ago, especially back in 2012. What I want to tell you now is that we are awesome, think about it... Wouldn't it be unhealthy to be one of those who doesn't give 2 $#%^ about the future of earth, global warming, Paris attack and fearing the possibility of a 3rd World War? Me and you are able to feel the world's problems, because we are conscious of it our minds reacts the right way :idea: ---> "It's awful how bad our beautiful planet is going through right now, I don't want me and my familly + our children to see this!" :cry:

If every single person suddenly felt what me and you feel, the earth would finally start to recover.
See, that's why there's alot of advertisements about global warming to sensibilized those who doesn't care enough! Adopt this new way of seeing your anxiety thoughts and I assure you it will make it way less intense because you'll be conscious of the why of why! :wink:
Sam.

Hey Sam, thanks for your response and for the advise. I just don't understand why a lot of people seem to not care about things. I honestly think that some people don't realise how bad things could potentially get. I just seem to keep seeing articles from world leaders such as Putin who refuse to rule out the use of nuclear weapons and it's really scary. It's not just the odd article either, It seems like I see a new one every day or two. John.
