You keep scoffing at those of us "living in fear" as you put it (that phrase needs to be retired, like "fake news" and the former president grump), but you always sound terrified. You are the ones living in fear, and perpetuating it, for your own reasons, whether they be political, or whatever. I don't know anymore.

Anything that can help normalize people's emotions in this time of plandemic is helpful. For some people it will be pharmaceutical antidepressants. For people like me, meditation, affirmations, prayers and natural remedies.

I'm going to try to go back to sleep now.

I agree, everyone has to do what is best for THEM, not their family & friends, not their government or that ***hole down the street. I want to punch every single person in the face that feels the need to tell me what's best for me. It has caused alot of isolation lately. I have never once tried to push my beliefs on a single person. If you want the vaccine then ******* get it! If you dont...then don't! Why are some people so Gotdam stupid? If you got the vaccine then doesn't logic tell you that uhhhhh you are safe from an unvaccinated person? Then you get those people who are like "well you need to get vaccinated cause my kids under 5yo!" (Previously 12yo) umm sorry to tell you this but I don't give a **** about your kid. Why don't you keep them away from me.? Obviously I don't mean all that literally, no part of me wants someones kid to get sick. But you get what I'm saying. Sry just ranting a little.

All this anxiety is clouding people's judgment. They seem to have lost all common sense and have no connection to their intuition. I have always believed those two things are our best defense against this, not to mention everything else. AND it is free! Much like what you do to cope, Belage. I think that general idea is essential. Even if someone doesn't believe in God or prayer, just a positive adjustment in their thinking patterns can work just the same.

I personally believe everyone is experiencing some level of fear (stress, anxiety, worry...w/e word you prefer) due to the pandemic. It is completely natural and expected. Even healthy to a certain degree because that fear is what causes us to change. For better or worse but I work on keeping myself in check so I'm moving in the right direction. Experiencing fear and giving into fear are completely different things though. For me I am much more stressed about these criminal mandates and having are God given rights taken away than I could ever be of the actual virus. I could give into that fear but I would have to toss my convictions out the window which isn't happening. A path will open up for me because there are still a decent amount of people that share similar beliefs and that gives me some peace of mind.

I feel you.

That is why it is so important for me to balance my emotional state. I have managed to regain a sense of peace and connectedness lately, but I don't take it for granted. I work on it everyday.

Wishing you peace of mind.
