What's up
Well, I have been struggling lately bc of elections and stuff bc I really don't know much about the candidates. And now I feel like I have to know everything about them. Even worse my grandma just mentioned something about people talking about putting chips in us, which would be the mark of the beast and it scares me so bad. I just feel awful and like things will never get better and I will never be sure what i believe again
I'm not going to say that nothing is going on. It is true that the world is going to end someday no matter who u vote for. I know it can be scary. No one knows when it's going to end tho. The best I can say is that when u belong to Jesus wen u accept him as ur only saviour there is no harm that will come to you. I believe that before the really bad stuff happens, he is going to take his people. The best we can do is keep believing and u do not have to live in anxiety and trouble urself over the bad things happening. We still have to proceed with life rn. So yes acknowledge that the end will come who knows when and there are things happening but also keep living. It is ok to laugh and enjoy. U do not have to live scared. Choose the candidate u think best.
Thank you. I will try. I honestly try not to watch anything political or news because it makes me very anxious. So I honestly don't know much about the candidates or anything. It makes me scared. I dont want to look up things about them because that will make me anxious. I don't want to just go with what my parents say but I'm really scared to find out the views of the candidates because I'm also afraid I will disagree with my family and that will make me confused and I don't know what to do :(:(
I too wouldn't know who to vote for. And it doesn't make us a bad Christian for not knowing. I too, at 27, am too confused and wouldn't know enough about who to vote for. I'm in the UK but I have a lot of family in America, so it's all talk aat the minute. It's hard because the elections are everywhere right now. You guys even have adverts on TV about presidents 👀🙄😂.. Kinda bizzare to us, outsiders of the USA. Do you think it would relieve any pressure right now to not vote this year?
Perhaps. I talked to my mom about it and felt good that she said I didn't have to vote if I didn't feel ready. I thought she would tell me I should vote but she said it was fine with her if I didn't. She also told me she would help me search for things online if I wanted to know something about a candidate (I think bc she knows there is a lot of lies online about each candidate and so she wanted to help me find good sources) which is nice. I guess I just got really stressed. Neither candidate is perfect so I guess I will just try to make an informed decision or decide not to vote.
@anyonymous That's so awesome. Your comment sounds so good, the relief of the pressure and also your kind mom to help you research 😊👍
@ButterflyStar Yes. I feel a lot better about it now :)
I'm glad u worked it out
I am a believer too. I am on the same boat. I dont know who to vote for either. I do want to see read up on some of the Propositions. They are so confusing though too! Anyway, there is still some time to think or ponder upon.
Yes. I feel better about it now.
Are u concerned about who to vote for? Or are u scared of what is going on?
I am sort of. I guess I just feel like I will just choose who my parents chose. And I feel like life doesn't really have any good in it anymore :(
Really I'm not even voting because I havent been keeping up with the candidates 😅.
I kind of want to not vote bc I feel like I am not sure on the topics enough and honestly feel like neither candidate is very good for our country. I know that would upset my parents though. (I'm 19 and still live at home so first presidential election and can vote in 😌) I wish I understood things better but I don't. :(
Dont stress, it would be ur first time voting. No one can expect u to be an expert on politics 😂.
I know I shouldn’t, but is there any chance I can get some reassurance or some talking to. I just had the scariest thought and it sent me into panic
I keep randomly getting scary evil/ demonic images or thoughts in my head. I can’t specifically describe how or what they are but I just feel scared & unsettled I feel like I’m possessed or that a devil is controlling my mind or something! I’m catholic I haven’t really been that religious but I’ve been so scared that I started praying to feel better and I feel like I need to pray to make whatever this is go away. I never believed in possession I’m more of a scientific based person however I’ve reached the point where my beliefs aren’t firm anymore I feel scared I don’t know what to believe it’s like I’m slowly believing my mind is being controlled I’m scared :( is something severely wrong with me? Is possession / devils real? Do I have a severe mental illness am I going crazy / developing psychosis or becoming delusional?? :(
my anxiety has been so bad the past couple of days, ive been disassociating several times a day. Its so hard to be alone because of the intrusive thoughts. I barely can even look at my family without vivid images coming in my head. Im so scared i keep asking myself “what if i wanna do it?” “what if i rlly am crazy” “maybe i am my thoughts” “would i ever do this” “what if i just lose control one day”. I dont know anymore im so lost and depressed i just wanna crawl out of my own skin. Someone please give advice because nothing is working. Keep in mind im undiagnosed and i feel so alone and i know i have harm ocd but the doctors and therapist in my state dont care to listen. They wont even give me anything for anxiety, my life is being ruined and im only 13. I just want it to go away, im trying to keep faith in god but i just wish he would help me faster.
