random sense of something wrong

Post Reply New Topic

has anyone ever experienced a intense feeling that something is wrong with the enviroment but dont know what it is. it makes me feel strange, anxious and lost.

Yeah. There are too many people leaving their dogs unleashed. It just scares the bejeesus out of nervous wrecks like me.

Something like a general feeling that the blue bird of disaster is about to fly over your head and take a really big dump?

haha well no, not really something i can pin down, just know something is wrong. kind of hard to explain

- The world is just a 3D space. FACT.
- The world changes over time. FACT.
- There are a lot of non-living objects in the world. FACT.
- There are a lot of living individuals in the world. FACT.

That's it. There is nothing more. Nothing is right or wrong. The world just IS. People just ARE.


- In order to make sense of this mess you need to view everything from your own point of view.

- This means you should not care too much about your surroundings..

- Only use energy on the things and individuals that are important to your personal life.

- View the world from above. See yourself, things and events in the large perspective.

Let me introduce you to the gorilla in the middle of the room. A literal, human tyrant that’s too powerful to challenge, or a situation that is beyond your control. Maybe you already know at some level, but you don’t want to know, because the actions you would need to take are too difficult or truly impossible. I know I’m not good at denial, and once I wake up to a bad situation, I can’t go back to sleep. I think it’s an Aspie thing, and that other people go into denial more easily than I do and can stay in it more comfortably.

Maybe the job or home-life is just unworkable, but you can’t move on, so you tell yourself this detail or that detail is not so bad and to buck up. And they’re probably not so bad, one issue at a time. But when you put it all together, it forms a picture that no one should have to live with. Or maybe you’re under age, stuck in the military, prison, or for some other reason really can’t leave, and denial is the only way to keep your balance. It’s a useful defense mechanism for a slave or prisoner. Sometimes I wish I had it.

Some of the most popular choices are:
1. Address the monster head-on and risk the consequences;
2. Take your drugs and shut up, and die young from some stress-related illness;
3. Buck up, internalize the system or situation that's making you miserable, and become the tyrant yourself.

(I'm in a really sour mood today.)

really, i would never have known you were in a bad mood, i really did not understand most of what you have written. thanks for replying anyway.

free-floating anxiety i believe is what you are referring to. i used to have that until i got my script for atenolol. my intentional tremors [AKA the shakes] also went away. better living through chemistry.

hmm never heard of that before, although it would make sense as i do struggle with anxiety.

A sense of impending doom? I get that sometimes. Though it is not necessarily that something is wrong with the environment. Just that something is wrong.

I also get periodic bouts of anxiety that appear to be connected to absolutely nothing at all. For years I have dealt with them by just reminding myself that there is nothing wrong, just my wonky wiring. I think that often, what we label things changes how we perceive them. Because I label it as something nonthreatening, it seems to help me go about my day.

But recently I have been reading more on ADHD and I was reading that some people sometimes mistake the restlessness of ADHD for anxiety and I totally think that is what is happening to me.

hmm, glad im not the only one, i think it may have something to do with disoriantation, do you know if that would make someone anxious.

Right now, my wife has gone to order pizzas for us all. We are a family of five and we also have 5 other 12-yr olds over for the middle kids birthday party. As you can well imagine, I have secluded myself from the general mayhem and stress. However ... thats not the point of my post.

The point of my post is that through all the stress of the veritable horde in my house is that the wife might order too little pizza. The thought is driving me crazy. I told her if the pizza ends up being too little and we go hungry I will blame her mecilessly and she will have to go buy some more.

I certainly do have a sense of foreboding. Its a continuous issue in my case so I have learnt to just live with it and do things anyway. The nett effect is the feeling that my life is a thriller/action movie. I move about like James Bond or (more aptly) Mr. Bean. When I have a sane moment, I realise my life is really quite pedestrian.

thank god for pedestrian lives!

Yes sometimes I get a deep sense that something is not right, or something is impending but cannot say what. If it happens bad then I usually lose my job. I don't know if its reaching a point where I am exhausted and my brain will not cope anymore with the environment I am in.

I think lots of people will get that and it is attributed to spirituality.

spirituality, what does that refer to

Spiritual people will say they have felt a bad omen or sensed bad vibes about something.
