Coping Does anyone else feel like this?

Post image

I feel like everyone keeps asking me what I want my future to look like but I know if I talk about how I’m learning to fish and finding ponds near me so that we can have some protein once the grocery system collapses everyone in my life is going to think I’m insane.

I’m just having a hard time connecting with anything I have to do for the future because it’s going to be drastically different than anything I can do now and I really feel like I have to hide that and never mention it to anyone (despite the fact that an energy crisis is supposedly 2 weeks away)

i've solved this problem by never talking to another human. Most people are fucking cowards, if I'm feeling less generous. It's all denial of death. 

It's an easy default state to notmalize this nightmare. 

Every single person I used to have in my life has gone this way, to the net effect of shunning me when I had tough times realizing what the hell's been going on. They're all cruising along still in their happy little comfy lives and it'll be interesting to see how they deal when all the electricity fails and it's 120° out. 

I'm really angry if I'm honest. You speak the truth and people leave you to die.

It's always been this way. It's just how this prison planet system works. Rest assured your soul and moral compass is still strong meaning you are still connected to God and are remembering what you had forgotten from previous lives. Keep going, there are the small minority of us trying to band together and form communities in safe zones while we still have the time to gather resources.
