As I think at least some of you know my guest name was "Anxious" and my original screen name was "Anxxious" before I changed it to what it is now. I found this site during my anxiety freak out at the beginning of January, and it helped me a lot to where I have become a regular member and post here every day. At first I didn't even know exactly what claim I was scared of, just the fact I was scared of something bad happening. I do remember the original freak out came from what became a daily visiting of the site "godlikeproductions". The wild speculation being thrown around on that site and the reading of some other sites led me into what I believe was weeks of a depressed/anxious state. I finally got my meds back on track and with the help of those and this website slowly start feeling better. I am still doing a lot better than I was a month ago, that is for sure. Now after what has felt like the longest month of my life I seem to have narrowed it down to one person who gives me worry still. Anybody who sees my threads/replies on this website doesn't have to be told who that person is, but in case you missed it, it's Patrick Geryl. None of what he says adds up to reality. The claims, truth be told, are pretty easily shown to be a physical impossibility. I have looked at it from the Mayan perspective by going into work by Mark Van Stone and Aveni and they both have the same conclusion that the Maya did not predict anything bad for 2012. These are peoples whose life work has been dedicated to studies of these ancient cultures. Then I looked at it from the physics side of things, and by any stretch of thought, the claims that humans could survive the earth doing what he claims every 12,000 years doesn't add up, and even more so the claim that it happens at all every 12,000 years doesn't add up to any hard evidence we have going back millions of years. I read somewhere saying the earth would be a vastly different place if it in fact did do this. The whole claim still about the magnetic reversals happening every 12,000 years doesn't add up, because as I have read many places, we have hard evidence that concludes the last one was almost 800,000 years ago. Of course as stated before, he claims scientists/experts have it all wrong and he has it right. I just don't understand how he thinks that with all the hard evidence to the contrary how that is even possible. I mean if it was even to begin being true that it has always happened, I'm sure many experts would find evidence of it, and they haven't, yet they have found plenty of evidence of things that disprove it. I'm sure you are thinking, you are sitting here disproving all the things you are worried about yourself. Yeah I may be, I'm just saying that I know all of this, I remind my self of it constantly. Still for some reason though, I can't seem to shake the what-if thoughts that haunt me. I think a big reason is the thought of if it was true and I didn't do anything to try and survive it that I would be letting my family down. I have a family I care very much for and love with all my heart, a fiance and a little girl I love with all my heart. I don't want anything to happen to them or me and that is why it haunts me. It's like, hey I know it's impossible, but at the same time I feel like I should be doing something just in case. I don't know, it's hard to explain. Anyways I felt like venting and giving everybody an update on my situation.
