just Really down
 
Typhoons, hurricane, twisters..just really bad weather.......i am really worried and scared:( I am a worry wort and i'm constantly down cause of all the news i hear everyday. I just heard of 700 ppl in the Phillipines that got lost at sea, its something everyday:(

chattiesmom 06-22-2008 08:39 AM
I am so very sorry that you are down. The news of such devestating loss of human life is very depressing. Sending you "feel better hugs" :hug:

shirlblack 06-22-2008 08:42 AM
I tend to do this too and lately I've stopped watching the news so much and it has helped. After all, we can't solve the world's problems no matter how much we worry. :) I also think the news media tends to sensationilize things for ratings. I'm so thankful to be an American and have the opportunity to choose our leaders but I'm so sick of all the political bashings. :(

You know, i always would tell my mom 'stop watching the news, it only depresses you'. And until now i am not a news watcher but lately in the mornings i just turn it on to see how the weather is and i hear all this stuff, it's hard to miss it. Then i come online and the news is right in front of me tempting me to read, and i feel so bad. I never have liked watching the news cause there is always something bad to hear everyday but things just get worst and worst. We def. can't control natural disasters :rolleyes:

i know..i worry constantly..i can't help it. Here in ny nothing drastic has happened lately but that worries me even more cause it makes me think something will happen..lol im so complicated

SladesMommy 06-22-2008 09:45 AM
I use to be a worry wart about stuff like this, but then I realized there is nothing I can do to change it or preven it, so I stopped worrying.

IluvLucy 06-22-2008 04:22 PM
I had to limit my news watching for this very reason. I'd become depressed and scared all the time, then I realized it was because I was watching or reading the news ALL the time.

MyLadies 06-22-2008 05:33 PM
I'm starting to get this way too, the news is so depressing. The economy, the storms, the deaths.... everything seems to be getting worse not better. I remember when I used to watch The Simpsons instead of the World News. Maybe I should go back to doing that.... but then theres the part of me thats "just gotta know!" whats going on in the world.

I think we all need a group hug. I'm down today too, thats why your post caught my eye. :(:ghug:

Jenn218 06-22-2008 06:12 PM
I'm sorry these things are getting you down. I RARELY have the news on....It's not that I don't care what is happening, there is just so much that a person can hear and take in. I find that if I exercise, yoga, have some quiet alone time (to pray, read, or just whatever)...or spend a day cuddling w/ Mojo and LG....that seems to take my mind off of all the negatives in my life! :love-hug1

Bizzymammabee 06-22-2008 06:45 PM
It really is scary and depressing to see the weather related loss that is going on. I get scared thinking maybe the end of the world is coming.

Yorkiedaze 06-22-2008 07:01 PM
If you check back since the begining of the world till now, you will find out that we are actually living in a better world disaster wise than ever before. The one thing we do need to clean up and that's the quality of our air before global warming does even more harm than what we are witnessing now. We "can" clean things up, but how many are actually doing anything? There have always been and always will be wars, floods and fathom.

winstonw 06-22-2008 07:17 PM
Mizzwand, you are not going to believe...this afternoon, I wrote a big long post on your thread and just as I was getting ready to send it, lightning hit and knocked our electric off!:rolleyes: I am sorry that you are feeling down. I know exactly how you feel too. My mom always tells me not to watch the news all the time, but I am just used to having it on in the background. There does seem like there has just been so much with natural disasters. I sometimes wonder though with world wide coverage news and the internet, if we are seeing so much more than we ever did. Maybe a lot of things went on in the past too, but we never knew about them. I try to just balance things out, help when I can, and try to enjoy all that I have...imbibe the good things. It truly makes you appreciate how lucky we are when we see how quickly things can change.

I so hear you ! The future scares me & the present sucks ...and it's like our world is out of control .....

prices of EVERYTHING are getting so high people can't even afford to drive or buy food here in OUR country - we have horrible crime - people shooting each other all over the place - job cuts - heat waves - flooding - storms - man it's endless .... Then you see other parts of the world getting hit with massive earthquakes - typhoons - tsunami's

when I get down I remember it could be worse but I really fear for our kids futures - if the economy and scary weather keeps up like this - who knows what they'll go thru

sorry to sound so depressing but we need CHANGE - we can't control the weather but we sure can control other things and that doesn't seem to be happening.

It's pretty scarey for sure. It's a different world now then just a few years ago. It can make me sad but I make sure that when we have those perfect Maine summer days...80 and dry with a nice soft wind...I stop and soak it in and thank God for the beautiful day....or when I'm sitting around the fire pit with all our friends laughing and I'm grateful we have them...even when I look down on my Ozzy all curled up asleep looking so cute and peaceful I think.. life is good...at the end of the day life is good :) I guess take the good and don't borrow worry. It's the small things that can get you through the day :)

You're a lucky woman...I with I could think that way - but then again - I don't have a perfect Maine day (I'm from New England and MISS IT) and a fire pit to hang out at :)....but like I said earlier - it COULD be so much worse for us all....some countries don't have what we have....

but still...things are out of control and I don't mean the weather....there have always been weather related disasters.

You're right..there is really nothing we can do except with the global warming...i have already started using all natural products and do my best to help with that

chachi 06-23-2008 06:43 AM
I hope you cheer up soon.:)I dont watch the news in the summer time because it does the same thing to me. I am always outside. Now in the winter when I am inside I watch it

I try to keep myself busy as well...take the dogs on walks a lot, go to the park and just breathe in the air and enjoy the weather..the simple things. It gets hard sometimes but i try to:)

You're right..there has always been wars, natural disasters, etc i think it is just the media, every chanel i turn to it is all the same thing, they constantly repeat it and talk about it that it just seems like the worst. But things like this have always been happening..it just feels like it's everything at once:(

cesar49 06-23-2008 06:50 AM
this is not REALLY good news.. but the one thing we all have in common
is WE ALL DIE.. i guess we just need to be ready for the inevitable...
enjoy each day...try to help others and be thankful for the things we do have.
my faith is what gives me hope. the promise of eternal life puts it into perspective.. and life is definitely not fair... the true justice comes with eternal life.. a package deal.. that is good news.. god bless..:)

Wow im sorry lightning struck:eek:, so glad you're okay! The news def. makes everything feel worst lol but i feel like i have to know..i am going to try to avoid it more often...ill still have to know what is going on but not keep the news on 24/7 lol which is actually rare for me to do but for some reason the past week ive been doing that, and watching crazy shows on the history channel and life/death events lol Why oh why do i have to be so curious??:rolleyes:

I hear you..this is supposed to be the country where everyone goes to make money and all this is happening..it really is endless. About the future...this all makes me not want to have kids. I have always wanted to but now i am just scared to bring a child into this crazy world..i sometimes wonder why im even here but i am and cant do anything about that lol But yea with everything going on having kids would make it worse for me, i already have my 3 furry kids to watch over and grab asap in case anything shall happen..i think thats all i can handle for right now. We do need to do something...atleast for what we can change like global warming but ppl in this world are ignorant. It's so hard to live in this world where everyone disagrees about everything:rolleyes:

I think that is why we have to remind ourselves to love and cherish the ones that are important to us, live the best life we can live and enjoy life. We never know when it will be our last day so we should make the best of it so we have no regrets.
