I'm a sixteen year old High School student from Chicago and I have never been more afraid in my life. I always have the date December 21, 2012 in the back of my mind. Tonight we had a huge full moon and you could see Jupiter. Stuff like this really starts to get me worked up lately. Anything a little abnormal sets me off and makes me really depressed. I don't want to die yet. Being a Junior in High School, all anyone talks about is preparing for College, Test scores, GPA, etc. and when I am asked about these things or hear others talking about College and their future all i can think about is not making it past this coming December. With the big day being less than a month away I have begun to "lose my shit". I have been on this site before but today Decided i would finally join and ask for help. Someone please prove to me things will be okay. For the last few years i have watched the show Ancient Aliens, and recently I noticed there is a show on the History Channel called "Countdown to Apocalypse". I'm not sure how much more of this I can take.

Also, a lot of my fears i have regarding the whole 2012 doomsday thing all seem to have a connection to my obsession with the history channel program "Ancient Aliens". I really need a knowledgeable person to talk to that can keep me calm. I am hoping someone would want to add me on skype (if it is not against this forum's rules) so that if ever i have a problem I can just Instant message them. This fear has been an on and off thing with me and now with the big day almost here I know that I will be getting even crazier. I have no one to talk to please I need someone to help me. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

How is Jupiter with a full Moon abnormal? They're pretty close together right now, but … so?

Someone please prove to me things will be okay.

There's a menu to your left hitting all the major 2012 points, and this forum is loaded with all kinds of posts about a variety of wacko claims.

Also, a lot of my fears i have regarding the whole 2012 doomsday thing all seem to have a connection to my obsession with the history channel program "Ancient Aliens".

Then why do you watch it?

Watch this instead:

And try this website:

I am hoping someone would want to add me on skype (if it is not against this forum's rules) so that if ever i have a problem I can just Instant message them. This fear has been an on and off thing with me and now with the big day almost here I know that I will be getting even crazier. I have no one to talk to please I need someone to help me. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

There's somebody here on the forum most hours of the day, and most of us probably don't mind getting the occasional PM. Just speaking for myself, though, expecting someone to be on call for you is a bit over the top. You need to chill out and realize the History Channel (we call it the Hysteria Channel) has become less interested in history, and way more interested in ratings without respect to quality. Crackpot tales about ancient aliens are, apparently, more entertaining to the masses than documentaries about Thomas Jefferson and David Hume.

If you're truly to the point of having your live disrupted by this irrational anxiety, then you need to talk to your doctor about it.

Hi mate, you would have seen my reply in this thread :) and rest assured many more people on here will come to your rescue with explanations and answers you are searching for :)

Peter_Y 29 Nov 2012 02:53

Collin …. there are many members in this forum who have had similar fears. They have had their fears reduced or eliminated by reading the articles listed on the left-hand-side of the page, and by reading relevant discussions in the forum.

I guess this is how the process can work :-
1. .. Pick any one of the many crazy doomsday claims.
2. .. Look up the entry in the menu on the left.
3. .. Read all the scientific facts on those pages.
4. .. Then use the Search function to search for all of the forum discussions about the claims.
5. .. Notice that all of the crazy doomsday claims have been comprehensively debunked.
6. .. Notice that there is absolutely zero scientific evidence for any worldwide disasters in December.
7. .. Realize that if there is zero evidence for all the crazy claims they are just worthless garbage.
8. .. Pick any day in December and realize that it will be just another day.

More help and information is in this thread :-
http://www.2012hoax.org/forum/t-595310/fact
I don't have time to go into detail at the moment, but helpful info about so-called 'ancient aliens' is here :-
http://www.2012hoax.org/forum/t-381213
… I'm sure that other people here will be able to comment. …

Also, I'm sure you will be able to get some help if you speak to somebody like a counselor (or Student Help etc.) at your high school. Also, if necessary, your family doctor will be able to give you a referral to a counselor. It would be great if you could talk to your parents as well, or maybe other adult family members. I think you'll be surprised how good they can be when they know how much these false claims are affecting you.

@Peter_Y

Thank you so much for taking time to reply… I know that i should talk to my parents. One big problem is that the person who showed me the ancient aliens show was my Dad. He is really in to it. My dad is a smart man and so am I. I think that the Ancient Aliens program can be really convincing sometimes and other times not so much. I just dont want to seem like a crazy alien believer moron.

im going to take your advice though thanks again.

Does he really believe it.
Or does he read on it just out of curiosity.

When I was young I was also into aliens and ancient civilisations and ghosts.
But that does not mean that I lost my sanity or reality. Just curious.
I pretty soon discovered that none of them were true so I lost interest.

I know exactly how you feel, I also go to high school, and I've had the same problems and also joined the website. The people here are awesome, they will answer any of your questions. Here are some tips:

-Whatever you do, do not watch the history channel, or at least their shows about aliens and conspiracy theories.
-Stay away from videos that you know will scare you.
-Don't be afraid to ask questions on this site. If something confuses you or scares you, just ask!
-Use the search bar in the top right corner of the web page to look up any conspiracies that you are scared about, there will be many results from articles and other forum posts.
-Find another activity to get your mind off the whole doomsday thing. Try a sport, video game, movie, music, whatever you prefer.

Also, Jupiter appearing near the moon is very common.

thanks man nice to see im not the only high school kid with the same problem

Re: Please help me

metalangel 29 Nov 2012 03:46

@Collin28
I'm 26, and I had the same fear. I've dealt with Doomsday fears ever since I was 15 when the twin towers were attacked; kind of sounds absurd, but people were so scared during that day, they actually believed it was the end of the world. That day left a scar in me until a few weeks ago. I've had anxiety problems since I was five, and I still do(but they aren't as bad when it comes to the end of the world). I spent many nights in private crying questioning the meaning of life(and this is coming from A GROWN WOMAN). The best thing for you is to stay strong, find you a great hobby, listen to music, take long walks find a very good friend to talk with you everyday, or try to find you a part time job to keep you busy.

Re: Please help me

Collin28 29 Nov 2012 03:58

Thanks you for the advice. you are right, i do need a hobby. the only sports i play are Golf and Lacrosse. Its the off season now and all i really do is hangout with friends and play video games. Oh and freak the hell out about 2012. I really need to take my mind off that last thing.

thanks again best wishes to ya!

Tonight we had a huge full moon and you could see Jupiter.

Jupiter is actually very cool to see through a telescope, if you know someone with a telescope, have a chance.
The Jupiter moons are also very impressive.
And it is spot in where it is supposed to be, so clearly there is nothing weird going on.

Did you know that all planets and the Moon orbit in almost the same plane. That is why the Moon is near the planets from time to time. The moon is also very helpful to find the planet.

There's nothing to worry about. This site is great and everybody here is great. I just joined the site and I have been checking this out and it's a wonderful site. Just look at it this way, the only person who really knows is GOD. Plain and simple. NOT MAN!!!! So, all these scammers and con artists etc are nothing more than wolves in sheep's clothing. So you have your whole life ahead of you so enjoy it and don't think about it so go out, get some Christmas shopping done if you haven't already and just look forward to 2013. It'll be here before you know it and when Dec 22nd comes, you can come back with a huuuuge smile on your face.

And the History Channel is nothing more than entertainment.

@TheGreatJuju

Thank you for your comment. I think the way I worded this was bad:

I am hoping someone would want to add me on skype (if it is not against this forum's rules) so that if ever i have a problem I can just Instant message them. This fear has been an on and off thing with me and now with the big day almost here I know that I will be getting even crazier. I have no one to talk to please I need someone to help me. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

what I was trying to say was it would be cool of someone to add me just so I could chat with them sometimes. I by no means expect someone to cater to my every need. I was just hoping to find someone to talk to (a friend who knows wtf im going through)

@nzder2012

I did see your post on the other post i made… I did not realize at first that the other post was a comment so I made this thread. I sent you a private message. Thank you again for your words. they helped me a lot.

Fair enough, Collin. If you're a PC gamer, I can be found logged into Steam much of the time as UndeadRufus. I use the same name on Skype when it's open, and you can send a PM through this site at any time.

However, for "help" purposes, I strongly recommended posting here on the forum. Doing so A) lets more people respond, and B) lets people who might have similar concerns see those responses.

Today i texted this to my dad: "You can see Jupiter super clear tonight. It looks like a really big star."

my dad's response: "Great! It's probably heading directly for us."

does anyone understand how much this can f*** with an already afraid person's head? this is why i cant shake my messed up thoughts and fears over 2012. I'm going to keep reading all of this stuff on the left

I don't know if he was joking or not but either way it f***d with my head. I can tell he is a bit nervous like I am, and I think I should show him this site. please don't insult my father he is a really good, hard working, and intelligent man. I just think/hope we both got influenced by a nonsense program.

Maybe he was just playing around and didn't realize it would scare you? Just ask him to be more careful about things like that.

But I can assure you jupiter isn't heading for us lol

Re: Please help me

@vwgreen

I think he was half joking but It seems like he is also a a little afraid of 2012…

But I can assure you jupiter isn't heading for us lol

Im not afraid of Jupiter crashing into us, the idea of the one person I look to when I am scared being afraid is what scared me.

EDIT: also, I think the fact that he would say something like that out of no where just shows what is on his mind.

It nearly took me eleven years to get rid of my doomsday fears. Well, September 11, 2001 started the fears for a very strange reason. If it weren't for this website, I'd probably be dead from suicide.

Re: Please help me

metalangel 29 Nov 2012 04:16

Collin28
Sorry about talking bad about your dad. I was very nervous(even suicidal) before I got over my doomsday fears. I even thought about taking my belt and hanging myself in the closet since I was frightened.

Re: Please help me

Collin28 29 Nov 2012 04:29

@metalangel

Sorry about talking bad about your dad.

its okay man.

i'm sorry about your problems that you have had. I think that you should talk to some type of religious person (not sure what religion you are or if you are even religious) and i don't mean like some priest to tell you that Jesus is going to forgive your sins and all that crap. I'm talking about a person who can show you how amazing life is. I am catholic and at my school i have to take theology. My teacher defined the purpose of life as being the best possible version of the person god is calling you to be. I know it is a mouth full but, if you are loved and love others you will be happy. When ever i feel depressed I just look at random shit and just think about how freaking amazing it is that it is even possible for what ever it is. Just the idea that I am alive is amazing to me. Could you imagine not being born? It would just be nothing… WTF does nothing look like!!! you cant imagine things like that! to me this kind of stuff is just amazing and it really cheers me up. also being in a relationship really helps me being in love is the only real magic… Even though none of my girl friends lasted longer than a year some of the memories i have always make me smile. IDK man i know im just 16 but this is what helps me and to be honest im so surprised im even pouring my heart out online to people i dont know… hope i dont sound dumb. best of luck to you.

I'm glad you get what i'm saying. also i just read what i typed and I realized that I need to stop smoking so much pot. I sounded like such a freaking stoner in all that, but it really is all true.

Hey Collin,
As Juju said, there is nearly always someone here on the forums. We have members in many countries so, even though we don't try to coordinate times, someone is here pretty much around the clock. We're always glad to talk with you.

Re: Please help me

obaeyens 29 Nov 2012 20:23

my dad's response: "Great! It's probably heading directly for us."

I could read this as 3 things.

1. He really means it.
2. He is just making a joke about it but does not realize that you get upset about it.
3. He is scared and tries to hide it with a joke he knows cannot be true..
