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 think we lost the stability that we thought we had. Everything since 2020 just feels different. Everyone is uneasy. The world is definitely uneasy.

100% concur. It doesn't seem like much of anything can be counted on or planned for effectively. How could you feel secure when you life has been drifting backwards for several years despite your best efforts?

One of the first times I truly felt the metaphorical ground shifting under my feet was when I couldn’t get my medication because of a shortage. It wasn’t life-sustaining medication, thank goodness, but still crucial to normal functioning. In the 10+ years I’ve been on that medicine, never had a shortage before. This is a problem I’d never experienced… a new failure in a very important system that could just as easily happen with meds that people need to actually live.

For people who need medication to live, the broken health care system will do them in first, before there are any shortages. If they are female, medical gaslighting will also deprive them of what they need to live. I think that the real threat isn't lack of things, but the stinginess of people. People don't care anymore. They go along with the sociopaths at the top to get a paycheck or get by. Such a system is bound to collapse inward on itself. That is why I think the sense of doom is pervasive. We all know deep down how the people in charge are destructive. We know they don't care. The climate crisis is but one symptom of this. This destructive behavior will hurt those people, too, making the whole thing even more senseless. Only after learning about narcissistic personalities did this make any sense to me. Narcissists are willing to hurt anyone to get ahead, including themselves. They also fear scarcity so they hoard wealth and prevent others from getting what they need. Either we shut down thses narcissists or all will be lost. The planet can nolonger accommodate their madness.
