People will forever deny the nature of the beast so long as he is not standing in front of them. And when he does, they will say "no, that's not a beast". They are foolish and they will be punished in short order. Nature punishes the foolish people mercilously. I have no sympathy for them. Let them take their punishmen... |
It reminds me of a conversation I had with my parents recently. A commercial came on TV and I scoffed at the Navy add which showed an aircraft carrier. They said "that's so cool that we have those" (referring to the aircraft carrier). I couldn't help but say "what are you joking? Those things are a joke! They can be sh... |

Indeed. I must admit my disappointment that those of us who "get it", and who decided to "save ourselves", can't seem to collaborate. I suppose that's because apparent collaborators so often turn out to be predators in disguise, which makes collaboration a risky gamble. However, we all know the impressive efficiency... |
Of course we can never tell how bad it will get in advance, but my latest estimate is... life will get very, extremely bad in the next few years. Much worse than most pessimists imagine. Well beyond "inconvenient", and quite far into EXTREMELY BAD. |
And frankly, I'm almost certain it is a one-way trip down the tubes for human beings. Unless a few of us get our butts off this planet, I suspect mankind is finished --- literally. But I do expect a huge quantity of suffering will occur before the final human lights expire. |
The grave of mankind should state: the stupidest lifeform on planet earth - who convinced themselves they were smartest. |

My disappointment is that they talk forever, but NEVER ACT. |
They are forever waiting for other people to do it, or for someone to grant them permission to do it. But they never grow stones and do it themselves. |
NOTHING will change until people ACT. Ever. |

Oh, I am - and have been - taking real actions, no doubt about that! However, they are rather isolated from and uncoordinated with other actions that other individualists might take, which is my disappointment. |
I moved out of dodge a few years ago, I acquired a travel vehicle that can take me 4000km (across fictional borders and open ocean) without refueling (not as good as a wind-powered yacht in many ways, but it has other advantages), I am setting up more and more self-sufficiency in what most people would call "extreme bo... |
I am preparing to avoid, not sanction or assist predators (civilian or otherwise). I will not fight anyone unless directly attacked, which is unlikely in extreme boonies. For "fighting" to be effective, collaboration would be necessary, and as you say, nobody ever acts in those sort of ways today, except rarely to "s... |
So yes, people are curiously unwilling to act in any coordinated way. So all that remains are individual actions to implement individual plans. Well, then. For all the talk, no coordinated action. I get it. So be it. Individual plans and actions it is. |

Yep, it's being done right in front of everyone's face. Nobody can say we didn't warn 'em. |
Domestically, the drone program and other high tech surveillance (much of which is being developed at "prestigious" colleges and institutions) is what has my feathers ruffled lately. Besides the ability of these psychopathic "drone operators" being able to see into our daughter's bedroom, etc, they also have the radar ... |
I've been trying to talk to people about this but you hit the nail in your comment, in the affect that people just don't care. |
People used to oooh and aaaaaah Orwell's 1984, but what we got coming down the pipe now is making that look like child's play. |

Is it normal to feel this anxious? |

I have a gorgeous 10mo baby boy, who is fab in every way. He has a great sense of humour and is brilliant company, loves playing with his toys and is eating well etc. However I am anxious to the point of nausea on a daily basis about all sorts of things. Whether he's napped enough/too much/drunk his milk/not drunk his ... |

Hi there, |
If your anxiety is making you feel ill I think you need to see your GP, you shouldn't let these feelings continue as it could effect your relationship with your little one. You might benefit from counseling? |
Pancakeflipper Tue 19-Feb-13 18:17:00 |
Oh poor you. |
To me it sounds like anxiety. It is very normal to worry but I think you have upped it to the next level where you hardly get to enjoy things. |
Sounds like your brain won't stop whirring. |
You are not the first to feel like this and you are not the last. |
What is your HV like? If they have been a good support then have a chat with them. They will help you, not judge. They have seen it all before. And if you don't know what to say - copy/paste/print your post on here and hand it over. |
If not your HV what about your Dr? They can also help. |
Do you get anytime that is just you? |
teacher123 Tue 19-Feb-13 18:37:10 |
Thank you for your kind replies smile yes I get plenty of time to myself-am going back to work in a couple of months and DH is brilliant, as are all grandparents. (Happy to babysit for spa days etc!) DS is a wonderful baby as well-very cheerful, hardly cries etc. I just feel like I'm ruining it all by worrying so much ... |
Pancakeflipper Tue 19-Feb-13 18:47:11 |
Sound like you have fantastic support, that will help you lots. |
Will you chat to your HV or your Dr? Please don't think they will think you are crazy, they honestly won't. |
Please don't think you are not a good mummy. I think this age is hard, it is soooo much easier when they are toddlers ( I think!). |
But do chat to the HV or Dr. |
peachypips Tue 19-Feb-13 18:49:33 |
I hate to say the dreaded words but sounds like PND. The most common symptom is not depression but anxiety. Get ye to the GP and either get a bit of CBT or have some drugs. |
Very blunt- sorry xxx (kisses to soften post) |
ChoudeBruxelles Tue 19-Feb-13 18:51:02 |
You sound like I was. Go and see your gp. I had pnd and anxiety. I was actually better once I went back to work as I didn't worry as much. |
BeaWheesht Tue 19-Feb-13 19:11:25 |
I was like this with dc1. For me, it was definitely PND brought on by a horrendous pregnancy and me being a perfectionist - I felt like ds was the first 'thing' in my life I couldn't control. |
Go speak to your health visitor or doc and in the meantime try and think of 'what's the worst that could happen' and be realistic don't catastrophise. I try and live by the 'will it matter in 10 years?' Rule of thumb these days. |
Oh and guess what I now have 2 dc and if it weren't for my awful pregnancies I'd have many more grin |
sleepcrisis Tue 19-Feb-13 19:28:39 |
You sound exactly how I felt, and I also had great support network, but it didn't change how I felt, just made me feel guilty that I still couldn't cope. I also used to have the fear about sleep and also had panic attacks when he wouldn't nap etc. |
I was diagnosed with PND, OCD and anxiety all rolled into one and am now on meds and had a fab course of CBT. DS is now 20 mo and am beginning to finally feel like I could have another one and am considering coming off the tablets so I can ttc. The thought of 2 terrified me until recently. |
Speak to your GP, CBT can work wonders. I repeat what BeaWheesht has said throughout my daily life 'what's the worst that can happen?' And I learnt the word catastrophise! |
shoesontheglasslamp Tue 19-Feb-13 19:30:14 |
I so recognise what you're saying. |
I was similar until my PND diagnosis, then CBT and medication. Everything is so much better now. |
It doesn't have to be like this. Please chat with GP or HV, it can't hurt and may really help. |
Take the chance and soon you'll really enjoy your lovely DS |
Jac1978 Tue 19-Feb-13 19:39:56 |
God I'm the same - if I give her finger food I panic about her choking, if I take her swimming I worry about her drowning, if we get in the car I worry about crashing, now she is crawling I'm convinced she's going to injure herself or eat something she shouldn't - the worry is exhausting and it's impossible to enjoy be... |
bunchofposy Tue 19-Feb-13 20:47:21 |
I would say it is normal, because that is how I was, but I have nothing to compare it with. I worried about everything. I have only just been able to sleep in a separate bed from my DD, and she is almost 3. Funnily enough, I didn't worry when she was with people I trusted to look after her, just when I was looking afte... |
I worried about all the things Jac1978 says (in fact are you me?!) I also became desperately upset by anything on the news involving children to the point of having to avoid all news some weeks. |
I did go to a doctor but partly because I was also angry (not with DD) all the time. Becoming a mum seemed to make a lot of my issues come flooding out. It was partly lack of sleep but I have wondered if it was PND. I had a few CBT sessions then moved house. I only felt ready to even think about another when DD was ove... |
teacher123 Tue 19-Feb-13 22:26:47 |
Thank you for all your messages-it gives me hope that something can make me feel a bit better. I am just so sick of feeling so stressed out all the time. Will make a GP appt tomorrow. The FIRST thing I think about when DS wakes in the morning is to worry about what we have planned for the day and whether he'll settle o... |
mummy2benji Thu 21-Feb-13 20:42:01 |
Yes I was going to say you might have PND too. I think a degree of anxiety is not uncommon in all first-time mums, and all the postnatal hormones contribute to that. When ds was a baby I used to worry about all sorts of morbid things - if I was walking down the stairs, I'd have a horrible image of me dropping him and h... |
