I can’t explain it fully but since couple of years I have this constant feeling that something big is about to happen that is going to change everything.

It’s a bit like being a WW1 soldier waiting in the trenches for an inevitable attack that doesn’t come.

I have adhd so I know the ‘waiting mode’ and this is sort of similar. Honestly I just want it to happen already so we can get this over with no matter what it is.

There is this atmosphere that no matter what you plan for or what you intend to do will ultimately not matter because of some future big changes.

It’s really annoying and only fully cured temporarily by brain muddying amount of weed or to a lesser extent various absorbing hobbies. Or making many hasty and bold decisions in spirit of “now or never”.

Maddening stuff to be honest. I hope whatever must happen will get on with itself already and rather sooner than later.

    Given everything that has been going on here in the US, and how quickly and boldly it is happening, I think your feeling is justified. And I don’t think it’s far-fetched to think that something is going to happen within the next 3 years. And it’s going to, in some way, be global. Like someone said before me, now is the time to build community and network and be as prepared as we can be for whatever it is.

      Yep. People make fun of peppers but in the current climate it’s no bad thing. As long as it doesn’t consume your life and finances, it’s not something you’ll regret.

      I’ve always got loads of canned goods and some water. I have a plan for sheltering in place and bought this affordable wind up radio. It’s not gonna hurt
