I have this sinking feeling that something big and terrifying is about to happen that will change the world as we know it. I hope I am wrong. Please tell me I am wrong. I would love to be wrong.

Unfortunately I think you are right. All we can do is prepare. Get as much cash on hand as possible, stock up on non perishables, get shots and vaccines, get all important documents together, update visa/passport, refill meds to the max and unfortunately…practice your second amendment rights.
Things look bad right now. But we have to fight- maybe bleed and have our hearts broken- in order for us to live in the future we want. The future is what we make it to be. ❤️🔥🏴☠️
I wish I could. My feelings of dread are palpable. Tonight I made this statement to the city council of my community today. Ok, I was nervous, but I told myself - feel the fear and do it anyway.
Thank you. Fear will come to each of us. But fear can be worked through. Thank you for helping your community, for being there for them. I'm sure your words mattered so much.
I think you're only just now feeling what's already happened... and is, in a very real sense, still happening. That being the dissolution of the "United" States, and the complete anarchy that is the inevitable result of handing the keys to the country to the worst human being ever known.
Realistically no probably not, it wouldn't be one singular catastrophe but instead a long, slow deterioration. Right now we're far from the edge since we live in the most prosperous and peaceful time in human history. It would take something like a total geological event to change that
You might be an empath. Several planets are changing signs, including Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus. These changes are considered major astrological events that can impact reality and inspire new ways of being, some pleasant, and some not. Cheers.
Why do you want to be wrong? What's coming certainly will change the world, and there is no reason to think it won't be beautiful. The balance is tipping toward the light. Please lend us your thoughts and never give in to fear. It's imaginary. So is the future.
Choose hope. Choose to be positive. We are in the vast majority of humans in wanting freedom and goodness. We still have the Constitution and the courts are working. Decide to come through this without cynicism or despair.
Encourage others. It's what I'm doing now, and it's working ... 😊
We still have the constitution? Really? I'm not so sure about that. And they just voted to cut Medicaid. It's ok to be mad, upset, scared and frustrated. It's ok not to be ok. Please don't tell people not to feel what they are feeling. If you want to help say you hear them and you're sorry.
Romans 15:4
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
The author of Ecclesiastes (All is Vanity - a "puff of smoke") is experienced in crushing cynicism and dread.
I hope I'm right and that you're wrong. But I feel like all of us are starting to rise and we're not taking this shit anymore. And our crowds are getting bigger in bigger. I'm bigger, they are going to know fear because we're going to put the fear of God in them!
I go back and forth on our prospects for justice while listening to law and politics podcasts and following news. Just watched the last part of Judgment at Nuremberg... wish it were required viewing for our government employees.
I am feeling it too! It’s been a pit in my stomach since Jan 20. I look at my grands and kids and just cry. I’m afraid for them, their lives. Waiting for the ax to drop. Hoping for the best. Trying to prepare for the worst since we cannot leave.
When I hear a hopeful message, it sometimes rings a bell in my soul.
Why did the OP ask for a hopeful message, unless it is the same for them, too?
Is it the same for you?
In another thread, a fellow just said - hearts can change.
Hearts can change!
That is true.
Keep hoping.
Well it’s not a big surprise, if something happens, like a violent take over of our country.
They’re setting the stage for it.
Putin is just grinning…..
I think we all have that horrible feeling...I also feel we are stronger than the orange party, we will come out of this,might have some bruises, we will be stronger
I wish I could help, but you're not alone in that sinking feeling!! It's a feeling of vulnerability, a cloud that's waiting to break apart!!! The country just doesn't feel protected and numbnut keep mentioning WW3!!!!
This isn’t fear mongering.It is acknowledging intuition which is fueled by past experiences, logic, observation & valid info tucked away in our subconscious.Some of us are used to being ‘in danger’ & pay attention. that’s actually wisdom. Fear has a purpose & can keep us alive. It can be a tool
Maybe the shift will be a positive one. They say you can’t appreciate the light until you’ve been in the darkness. I’m going to focus on it being something positive coming the planet alignment on the 28th and the birth of two white buffalo are both signs.
It already happened with the phony election and the non-elected cheating person who is now occupying the White House and the golf course. Musk bought our country and is destroying it.
It already happened on Nov 5, 2024.
The world is changing.
The rich are bending it to an Oligarchy.
We must hinder them until we can secure a true panacea.
If we ALL operate altruistically, we will all be rewarded.
tRump et al want us to feel that way. And, most of us do but we must keep fighting it. Do what you can to move us away from the hellscape we are in, then do all you can to feel good. Hang out with friends, go for a walk (if you can) etc We need you all, so take of yourselves and each other. 💙
Dread is hanging over a lot of us. It's in my crazy dreams, between every line I read in news articles. We're going to end up in league with Russia against our former allies. I feel it coming.
I mean, it kind of already has. There are some things my brain says are going to happen but I hope like hell don’t happen…my brain is sometimes right but not always and I would love to be wrong.
I had that feeling thought smoking a bowl would help it usually does. It didnt. i sat stoned and terrified. Thanks hitler & eva for fucking that up too!

But liberals think this happened a few months ago - liberals are their own worst enemy.

Please let that moment happen.

It's fine to feel this fear and to grieve but this kinda 'vague ominious doomsday' stuff is working actively to help the fascists.
When the people are paralyzed with fear, they're easier to conquer.
I spent the last year in PTSD therapy. I spent the last 5 getting my life back from abusers. I have a boyfriend I want to live with.
Now I gotta deal with this? 1/2
As far as I'm concerned, Trump is just another shitty narcsissistic abuser I gotta work around.
I will see my boyfriend. Trump won't stop me. They get my annoyance, never my fear.
I have long used the mountain as personal symbolism. May the day never come to pass I am forced to forego my peaceful ways.
Be well, stranger. Rest as you need, but stay engaged.
However…

And I feel like it’s something our intelligence was, but no longer is, tracking.

- clean the house
- volunteer someplace local
- connect with community
- focus on a positive outcome
fear is always the enemy and it feeds on more fear. not invalidating your feelings, just reminding you to redirect them 💚 love, leeks
