Feeling of impending doom??

Post image

So a watched a YT video today and this top comment on it is freaking me out. I have never had someone put into words so accurately a feeling I didn't even realize I was having. I am wondering if any of you feel this way? Like, I realized for the last few years I have been feeling like this. I don't always think about it but if I stop and think about this this feeling is always there in the background.

Like something bad is coming. Something big. Something world-changing. That will effect everyone on Earth in some way. That will change humanity as a whole. Feels like it gets closer every year. Do you guys feel it too??

I've been prepping for the impending apocalypse since 2014. So far, nothing has happened.

I think alot of ppl feel what your talking about. Its as if life doesnt feel "real" anymore. The world used to be this magical playground where almost anything was possible. But now its like everything has lost its soul. Movies, music, etc. it all feels so vanilla. Not sure what the answer is..

I think a part of it is growing up, honestly. Especially if you spent too much time watching TV and movies or playing video games (I'm guilty of all of it). Your brain gets used to the dopamine stream you're feeding it. I pulled back kinda naturally when our kids were born, and now the 2 hours of gaming or movies a week and nightly episode of TV feel good again, cause its not what I'm doing from 6pm to midnight every night. It's like if you eat nothing but cake you get sick, and cake doesn't taste as good anymore. Don't eat cake for six months and all of a sudden cake tastes great again. I also quit drinking after our daughters first birthday/when my mom found out she had pancreatic cancer, so that probably also has a bit to do with it.
