Can I have your autograph?
Did some research on you... and you'd be ok!

Oil just freaking dropped below $80. By all rights, and in normal times, we should be quite happy that oil is falling and so should gasoline - and diesel - and jet fuel.

But these are *not* normal times, it does look like a freaking big crash all around, and I'm pretty damned spooked by it all too.

I'm so scared I can barely function. For years I've felt like a loon with all my dire predictions for the future. Now it's all starting to happen. I was much happier being the paranoid loon.

SPG, there's plenty to be happy about. Good will eventually arise from the fear and uncertainty we all share.

Mama cur use to observe that we are stronger than we think we are. We think we cannot live without someone when they die, yet somehow we are stronger. When we get into the thing, it is not as scary as the thought of the thing. Right now those seem like empty words and I am slow to utter them, thinking they might sound condescending... but they have proven them self true to me.

But we all need hugs now and again, regardless of what we know or think we know.

I'm less worried now than I was a year ago. Dunno why, I'm just not. I was overly caught up in all this doomer shit a year ago. I just don't think things are going to go down that fast anymore. I'm glad for this financial collapse. It will slow down resource depleation & wake people up.

I'd give you a hug if I knew you. Those sentiments will have to do for now in lieu of the real thing.

As the Governator once said "Relax. You'll live longer."

Hugs to you SPG.

I'm fairly sanguine (though I have slapped myself mentally to stay awake)

I think because I've seen riots on TV, mortgage rates over 20% and NO gas in the '70s, relatives lose their homes because of negative amortization loans in the '80s, friends and relatives lose their jobs to off-shoring in the '90s, friends and relatives lose their life savings in the dot-bust and all their imagined home equity in the '00s.

This too will pass.

Everythings OK

Consider yourself hugged.

*BIG HUGS*

That's a great song, Pops.

Here's another

Thats for sure, heck when I lost my house in the 80s due to negative am......the RTC was right there to cradle my @@@. Anyone on this site is 100 times more prepared than the average American.....its Friday, go have happy hour and pat yourself on the back.....Youve done good!!!

I don't know you as well as some on here, but I was only just thinking today about how resilient the heavy posters/mods are on here. Going by your responses to my posts and some of the other posters, it sounds like you may have been in the denial stage for some time as to how bad things really are and that anxiety may have been welling up in you for some time which you have been trying to supress. You need to take time out from this forum and limit your news intake, better still, turn off the fekking P.C for a few days! Go out this wknd and socialise, have a few beers and then some more, then go and shag your man/girl/both silly and finish off with a 5 mile hike in the wilderness

Don't forget, this is mostly a doomers forum. And we'll still be here when you come back

Oh, and [[[[[hug]]]]

[spear]

Dont be getting all soft and mushy on me now smallpox.
Light a candle,say a prayer.Meditate.
Thats what I will be doing this evening.
No need to fear.What will be will be.

Hugs,


PS.If it makes you feel any better,I just ate three boxes of my kids junk food school lunch snacks while reading the forums,loaded my shotgun,went out back and shot off a few.
Im much better now.

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGS!!!!

My family is really big on hugs all the time, they work wonders.

You need to connect physically with friends and loved ones and draw on their love.

Go find them and hug them!

You need to do this.

Stay away from here for a few days.

And go and do things you love, whatever they may be.

I don't know you that well but I have enjoyed a number of your threads so *hugs* for you smallpox. Light lots of candles and turn off the lights! I was feeling very down an hour ago before I did that. I think the 4 bottles of beer helped too

Remember, whatever happens to humans, the earth and life abides.

[emersonbiggins]

Big hug for SPG

[smallpoxgirl]

Thanks everybody! I'm done freaking out now I think. I'm completely exhausted after watching the DOW today.

Big hugs back to all of you. I wish I could cook you all a nice meal, kick back, drink a beer, and chat in real life. Be well everyone.

[Pops]

Cook a nice meal, dine with your RL friends, kick back, drink a beer and chat.

BIG FAT HUG FOR SPG.....

But what you really need is: Drawing (very large)

When I feel an anxiety attack take hold I have found that 100-200mg 5-HTP helps. At least it works for me.
