Thought I was over it.

Summary:

I thought I had accepted that it is nonsense - so why have a woken up a nervous wreck.

Thought I was over it.

Hi

I am in a state this morning, i feel pure panic.

I don't understand why, I know it is nonsense I know nothing will happen.

I just can't shake the feeling of dread. I asked my husband to take friday off work so we could all be together just in case. He quoted Brian Cox and called me a nobber and said no.

Take a deep breath and stop thinking with fear, Look outside, Everything is fine and will continue to be. Did something trigger this?

I don't know, I saw an advert forthe discovery channel's apocolypse night special. I have been to church this morning ( a service for my son's school) and felt calm in there but by the time I got home I was shaking again.

The worst part is I know nothing is going to happen. I want it to be saturday so I can enjoy Christmas and forget about doom

Well try to avoid garbage like that on TV. Keep looking forward to Christmas and beyond and keep your mind busy off of doomsday stuff, I know what its like to be a nervous wreck from it.

I didn't want to start a new thread but my six year old came home from school yesterday and told me his friend said the world is going to end on friday.
I used everything I have learned on here to explain why what he fears ( earth being hit by a planet) isn't going to happen and whilst explaining it to him I listened to myself and what I knew and really believed myself.

So I would like to advise anyone still worried to explain out loud to someone (even if it is your pet cat) why nothing can happen and then like me you might find yourself believing it :-)

That is good advice, And myself and others find that helping people on this website will make yourself feel better as well. Glad you are believing it :)

That's great, BlueOctopus. We've had a number of people lately who are helping themselves by helping others.
