So anxious about war

Post Reply New Topic

Like Hollywood_Guy, I am petrified. It's 1939 all over again. I hate Syria. I hate Trump, I hate Theresa May and I hate Vladimir Putin. Don't they know that retaliating against Syria will esculate conflict and chemical weapons? Syria has chemical weapons, and it's best not to get involved in countries that have hold of chemical weapons. Just leave them to it. Let Syria get on with it.

Trump and May must so badly want to die. I want government who cares about life. I hate war, it terrifies me. I'm scared of hearing the dreaded doomsday announcement on the TV, when they will say "breaking news to Britain, we are now being under attack by the Russians, brace yourselves, you're going to die within the next hour, and those of you who don't die you will die horribly from the radiation."
Actually I can't wait to hear Theresa May dying in agony saying through splutters, "I knew we shouldn't have retaliated!"
What has Syrians torturing their own people got to do with the west anyway?

Please, my mum is no good to talk to about this because she just says "yes it is going to happen, stop going on and on." Can anyone here reassure me with reasons as to why we WON'T be bombed? Googling it is just more confusing, I'd rather be reassured on a forum.

For what it's worth, Putin strikes me as both practical and more devious than to lash out against united Western Powers in open world war. He doesn't seem like a guy who wants to bring chaos to his own doorstep.

They do seem to have a strong hand in electronic warfare and it wouldn't surprise me if the Russians are holding onto backdoors if they've exploited any important systems.

If they did anything Militarily, it might be to trade punches by stirring up s**t with our own Middle-East allies like Israel or Saudi Arabia. Probably indirectly by further arming extremist groups.

Okay that is a sh***y way to assure anyone, but maybe reason to hope this won't escalate to nukes.

I was very anxious about it a year or so ago right after Trump was in office and they did their whole "shock and awe," BS with Steve Bannon and media hysteria.

Now? Now there's a more real threat of war and *shrug* I don't really care that much. Getting all worked up about it isn't going to do sweet f**k all to prevent it. If bombs start dropping from the sky here, well, then things are going to get blown up. Either I'll live or die and that's that. Life goes on regardless.

Saying 'you can't do anything about it' doesn't make me worry any less. I just feel angry that US and UK are inviting such trouble and getting their people killed.

For the first time in my life I am happy. I have a boyfriend, I love my job, my social skills have got much better, and I finally feel almost like an NT (except for worrying deeply about things).

Now I can't feel happy, I can't plan things for the future, can't do anything, all because the f*****g government of UK, US and France can't keep out of Syrian s**t. So children get tortured in Syria, yes it is awful in principle but what the f**k has it got to do with the west? It's Syria's problem.

I feel so angry. I want to be heard by the b***h prime minister, but I won't get listened to because I'm just a lower-class citizen out of millions of others. So I've just got to sit back and accept that I'm going to die.

And getting radiation poisoning is WORSE than dying. It's painful, slow, horrible. That is probably what will happen to most of us in the UK. I'm in such a panic. I won't sleep tonight.

Yes the world is going to end soon. Hooray! We are all going to die!

It's hard talking to people who want to die. Maybe I should have posted this in a different subforum here.

So the UK is going to be blown up within the next month?

What more appropriate thread to recycle this gov't message from 1939 in:

But I can't escape the depression. I might as well just kill myself right now. Thanks a lot Trump you f*****g c**t, thanks a lot Theresa May you dimshit, and thanks a lot for all you Trump supporters who happily voted for the c**t, I hope you're happy that you got the UK blown up.

Trust me to live in the UK. I am sh*****g myself and all people can say is 'don't worry'. How can I NOT f*****g worry? I'm going to be dead this month. I won't live to see the summer. The UK will just be a smoking crater while the rest of the world will be getting on with their lives. It's f*****g scary.

It may sound like a stupid answer to you. I had the same Problem when Trump was elected. I was really anxious.
I was very depressed aswell. But then my aunt told me that I should stop reading news of any kind. I did and I don't care anymore.

Well it doesn't help when I walk into a room where someone has the TV on and even just glancing at the screen for 2 seconds sets off panic for me. Also sometimes it gets brought up in group conversations. I can't really escape it.

When WW2 first begun, lots of people were terrified and emotional. It's human nature to be worried about dying. And it's even worse when you have an anxiety disorder.

I saw my cousin yesterday who has a 1-year-old, and I felt so panicky that the baby has no future (but I didn't show it). The healthy, developing, young child is going to die within the next month. All because Trump loves war.
