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.

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.

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 :(

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. :(

I’ve been trying my best with ERP and just everything that’s going on. I have severe OCD, GAD, PMDD, panic disorder, recently diagnosed ADHD, and currently experiencing a major depressive episode. Apparently. I was taking a break from this app but I really need support right now. My family is honestly really mean and not understanding of what I’m going through. Right now it’s gotten bad to the point I had to withdrawal from my last semester of university. My only support is my boyfriend and he’s now planning to join the military. I won’t be able to talk to him for 3 months and I feel really scared of being alone with all of this. I know I shouldn’t depend on him to begin with but right now I’m at an extremely low point and I feel like I won’t make it alone. There hasn’t been a single day we haven’t texted and talked in 4 years. I feel really scared, but I don’t want to hold him back. You guys, I feel so sad and terrified right now. I don’t want him to go, he’s all I have.

i’m currently experiencing a panicky anxiety attack and i don’t know why. i’ve been on edge all day because of being scared to get sick, but right now, i know i’m not going to get sick but i’m just really panicked and cannot calm down. i’m currently listening to music that helps relax me with an icepack on my neck to help, but not much is happening. my sister and mom keep coming into my room and it’s only making it worse but i don’t know why. i just don’t want to talk or be around anyone right now. these kinds of episodes are worse than any other because i don’t know why i’m so scared. it just feels like it’s never going to go away.

I just found out today that a family friend will be staying over at my house (I live with my parents) for a night. And I have contamination ocd and that’s causing me anxiety. I fear that her being here will contaminate my home, which is like my safe place. It’s hard just sitting with the anxiety. I want this day to be over! Does anyone have anything to support me? Thanks
