Don't Think I Can Handle the Fear Anymore

LexieDawn (guest) 26 Dec 2010 01:50

Hi everybody!! I'm Lexie and I'm 16. I heard about this 2012 stuff last year. I haven't been able to get over my fear. I've been to a therapist, talked to my parents, friends and Pastor. Nothing makes me feel better. I've noticed that I've started to paying more attention to things like earthquakes, volcanoes, weather….natural events. I'm so scared they are all building up to something. My fear has gotten so bad I'm on a medication like Zoloft. I just don't know how much more I can take. I'm at the point where I've given up and don't see a reason to keep going. It's Christmas Day, and instead of enjoying all of my new gifts and time with family, I'm in my room alone. There isn't one thing individually that scares me. It's teh idea of having only 1 more Christmas…or not being able to go to college, or get married….It's the idea of not having a future. You're my last hope…please help me.

Thanks and Merry Christmas!!

Hello, Lexie. We've had at least a couple of folks here expressing concern over the weather, but there's really nothing all that weird going on. Weather comes and goes with long-standing trends, but it isn't like clockwork. Sometimes it does things we don't expect, so pointing at an unusually hot summer or a cold winter and fearing something bad on that basis isn't well-founded at all.

As for earthquakes and volcanoes, they are no more prevalent or more intense on average than they have been in any other year on record. Even if they were (which they aren't), that would not necessarily be cause for concern. The problem is that the world's population is growing, so more people live in areas where earthquakes strike. In third-world countries like Haiti, building standards are atrocious. This can result in many senseless deaths, as we saw this past year. Also, we live in a society where information travels faster than ever before, so news and discussion about natural disasters spread almost instantly. The downside of this is that it leaves the door wide open for crackpots to post nonsense on the Internet.

In short, the 2012 doomsayers are wrong, and you can safely ignore them. There's no evidence that anything spectacularly bad is going to happen in 2012, though I suspect that year will see its up and downs just like any other year.

I can't really comment on your future, but I think the odds are in favor of you having a long one ahead of you.

Depending on where you live, you might have a few hours of Christmas left. Go hang out with your family awhile. ;)

Hello Lexie,

Yes, please go ahead and enjoy Christmas with your family. Then, if you're still worried, read some of the stories of people who've come here with concerns like yours. You'll find them near the bottom of the index at the left-hand side of the page, as well as here. Please note that some of the people who came here in the same condition as you are now dedicated and highly effective debunkers of the 2012 claims.

You may also wish to read this article of ours. It documents what happened when we pushed an organization consisting of the "best, brightest, and most credible" of the 2012 movement to explain why their members' claims are so blatantly, persistently wrong. We emailed them repeatedly over the course of about three weeks. As you'll see, their silence was deafening. The bottom line is that they know they're spouting nonsense, and will do it whenever they can get away with it. However, they tuck their tails and run when confronted by knowledgeable people. You can read it for yourself.

So, as TheGreatJuju says,

In short, the 2012 doomsayers are wrong, and you can safely ignore them.

Enjoy the holidays, and your break from school.

LexieDawn, the 2012 promoters wants to scare you. Some of them are just playing a joke on you but others have bad intentions and is a money scam.

Nothing prevents you from going to College and get married at all.
Nothing prevents you from having a wonderful and long life.
Nothing prevents you to have many many Christmases.

The choice is yours, do you want the scamers win and steal your life?
Or do you take control back and live your life with big joy happily for the next 90 years?

Everyone else is spot on.

The choice is yours, do you want the scamers win and steal your life? Or do you take control back and live your life with big joy happily for the next 90 years?

Couldn't have said it better myself, Obaeyens.

I'm sorry to hear that your Christmas was spent in a mood such as this, Lexie, but you have to stop yourself for a moment and think rationally for just a moment.. Do you really think that something that's as ridiculous as a UFO invasion or, a rogue planet is even possible in 2012?

I don't know about anyone else, but when I first heard the rumor of an alien invasion, I instantly thought to myself "Wow, these people have been watching Mars Attacks! and Independence Day way too often".

Each and every day, Lexie, you're surviving a bombardment of threats ranging from sickness to vehicular accidents, these are the things that are a real danger to you, not a magical planet, nor an alien invasion, sickness and accidents are actually plausible, whereas these rumors are utter nonsense.

The point is.. Don't let something like this ruin your life, you're strong enough to survive from day to day in such a harsh world, you're strong enough to recover from your fears.

It's the idea of not having a future.

This is why they invented the "end of the world". You're in the right place.

You're my last hope…please help me.

The 2012hoax.org website is very good. Just read the pages, comments and you will see: it's all a huge crap. Instead of going to YouTube and watching those apocalyptic videos, go to trustable websites and don't watch Natgeo and History Channel apocalyptic documentaries: they're specially made to scarre people.

LexieDawn (guest) 27 Dec 2010 22:57

You wanna know something so stupid, but it made me feel a little better? I read online that the Maury show has been extended for a few more years…and I put a can of corn into a soup for my mom that didn't expire until 2/2013. There was a part of my brain screaming that the producers of the show and the canning company wouldn't know if the world was going to end so they went on about their normal business. It did make a small part of me feel better tho, for a few minutes.

How would you feel when your fear magically vanished into thin air right now?

snorks 29 Dec 2010 15:46

That is a good question. What would you be thinking if your fear went away? I was asked a similar question about my stuttering - if it suddenly stopped, what would you be afraid of. What would you occupy your mind with?

The fear has a use and a purpose. Discover what it is, and then be free of it.

UndeadxNurse 28 Dec 2010 01:00

That's normal and isn't stupid at all.
When you're fearing something, especially something that's supposed to happen on a certain date, it is comforting to see major companies and such have extended their times far beyond the date in question. It's kind of a reassurance to your mind.

Brazil is hosting the 2014 FIFA Soccer World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games. Read here about some of the huge expenditure already going on. Has anybody suggested that this money is being wasted because the toournaments will never take place?
Not that I'm aware of.

Tomy2011 28 Dec 2010 21:21

Has anybody suggested that this money is being wasted because the tournaments will never take place?

This isn't a good suggest. I would find weard if they say: "we will not organize 2014 and 2016 events. Sorry". 2012 doomsday is fake, but your suggestion isn't very good.

TheGreatJuju 29 Dec 2010 00:48

Tomy, what bikenebeer is saying is that no one putting out huge sums of money for upcoming events beyond 2012 has expressed any concern that the expenditures are all for nothing. It's a good point.

Tomy, it doesn't have to come from the organisers. There are plenty of people who think that the Brazilian government should take more action over poverty and crime in their country. Don't you think they would jump at the chance to criticise them for a huge waste of money?
But they don't.

Tomy2011 29 Dec 2010 22:17

Don't you think they would jump at the chance to criticise them for a huge waste of money?

Yes… it's really a good point!

But they don't

Still…

Hello Lexie,

You can think in something better than that:

Do you really think President Obama would work to cut Social Security, and of course his popularity, if the World is going to end in 2012?

I am far from being an expert in 2012 issues, this is pure logic!

Moo (guest) 28 Dec 2010 09:45

There's a lot of good games scheduled for 2013 and beyond. Sorry, but even if the world does end, I plan on sticking out to see them.

If Sonic the Hedgehog continues along this path that Sonic COLORS set out, not even in the end of the world will stop me from seeing where he goes.

Or, realistically, nothing is going to happen. And, at the end of the day, even if something were to happen… so what? Are you going to stop it?

I'm to the point, after so many years, that I am both tired of the fear, but I have also overcome it and realized it for what it is: nonsense. You can, too.

If it were real, you could do nothing about it. So don't worry about it. Live every moment like it's your last, and laugh in death's face when it comes.
