And in “I’m not as crazy as I thought and that is somehow not great news news” it turns out my crippling anxiety was mostly just intuition and that intuition was pretty spot on

It's been a struggle of "Is this my intuition or is this my anxiety?" Been trying to separate the two because at this point in life, I've had several times where I dismissed intuition and told myself I was overreacting and ended up kicking myself when it turned out I was not in fact overreacting
I have found the best way to differentiate is calmness w/intuition. A calm sense of dread can certainly trigger anxiety and there’s overlap, but intuition starts in a place of clam, even if it’s bad. Anxiety feels urgent and frantic, tries to problem solve.
And yet asshats like Ben Shapiro are posting "normalcy is returning " as if THIS was ever "normal". WTF. The literal embodiment of the dog in a fire meme

In this specific scenario, growing up with a narcissist was also helpful in identifying that this was not going to end well without going no contact. Instead, America just moved right back home and said boundaries be damned.
This is *perfection* in a couple sentences, I swear. 👏👏👏 I've been screaming about this since he started running that this would happen, and everyone called me crazy. Just like when they meet a "wonderful" narcissist, and I tell them, and it isn't until the narc destroys them that they understand
Well, I am a writer 😏 Just wish I didn’t have to put that skill to use to explain this to people who should know better. We can’t change people, though. And America is a country built on narcs. We love a good me-me-me 🙄 🤦♀️
I have the same problem. I know what I know, I don't know how - but yea, it's a PITA to feel this way and no one listens. Then the anxiety is replaced with anger over WHY WON'T YOU LISTEN TO ME!!!
My friends thought I was crazy in January 2020 when I told them a pandemic was about to explode.
Same friends thought I was crazy when I told them we are no longer in a democracy.
So there's that.
DUDE. DUDE. ARE WE THE SAME PERSON?? The mental weight of the shackles coming off at the realization was mind blowing!! Too bad that in reality it was kinda useless cause everything’s kinda fucked..
The writing was on the wall. There was no need for binoculars to not see this coming. May I suggest a good doctor? I can ask at my appointment tomorrow.
100% this. My anxiety has been slowly increasing the past 3 years with random days that would be at THIS level which I thought were for no reason. But nope. It was my intuition. This is one time I hate being right.
Had this same moment talking about current events in class. It's scary when the tin foil hat is the one everyone wants to hear from. I never wished to be ignored before...

It's not depression, it's the crushing realization of reality.
I resemble that remark.
