Do you ever find yourself getting tired, and just wanting to say "f#*k it"
Because I'm getting there.
I'm becoming tired of being afraid of things. I mean just f#*king sick of it. One minute you're finding out that everything you've been eating is pretty much bad for you, and going to give you cancer. The next you're being told your exercise routine isn't helping you, and your supplements are of none effect. You ask questions and think you're getting sound information, only to be told the selected course of action is 100% toxic. Oh yeah, and your rifle isn't going to cut it once TSHTF. I'm listening to some jackass on Noorey's program lecture the world on why people are so unhappy, and that they need to knock it off and be happy, or else their physical health will suffer and they'll end up prematurely dead. Of course, he lives on 14 acres along the south shore of Kona. Minor detail. That must be where we've all gone wrong, you see: we should all just buy 14 acres on the south side of Kona and grow our own food, then all will be well with the world! Then we'll be happy! World peace will be within reach! It's just so simple, so very easy! Why on earth don't people do it!? It's kind of like listening to Dr. Laura lecture on why women with minor children shouldn't work and all abortion is wrong. I find it quite difficult to take life advice from folks whose $ millions offer them a nice, neat ticket out of real life's real problems and insoluble jams. I am also sick of being confused, worried, and scared. F that. We're all gonna' die one day, anyway. So tomorrow I'm gonna' take some time off and go to the range with an old bolt gun and savor life, one cartridge at a time. Then, I'm gonna' go have an In 'N Out cheeseburger and a Coke, and enjoy the hell out of them, even though they are sure to give me cancer and kill me. Screw it. |

Noory. There's your problem. :wink:
What's good for you is pretty simple - clean food and water, natural exercise, sun, fresh air, using your mind, not being totally broke. Steer clear of the fad du jour. Enjoy your Coke - not a diet one tho (they are laced with ant poison) |
Re: Do you ever find yourself getting tired, and just wanting to say "f#*k it"
We're inundated with information, true and false, every day of our lives.
You need to prioritize. You need to decide what's REALLY important to you, and then take specific actions to progress towards those goals. Then you will feel more satisfied with yourself and the "small stuff" like maintaining your health through moderate exercise and a REASONABLE diet, will again seem like small stuff. I've been exactly where you are. It's easy, when you try to be a successful person, to try and do everything all at once. And when you try to learn information and ask for advice, everyone's got their own idea of the "best" way. But what is best and what is normal? Seriously, sit down and write out what you value in life and what you WANT to value in life but presently don't, make specific achievable goals, and then take specific action over the next few weeks to make progress toward those goals. I know it's "easier said than done" and it's easy for me to say it, but TRUST ME ON THIS: PRIORITIZE AND YOU WILL FEEL BETTER. And if you can make a habit of prioritizing, like for one hour every week on Sunday (or whatever works for you), you will never again feel as overwhelmed as you do now. Also borrow the book "Seven Habits of Highly Successful People" from a friend or the library. |
Re: Do you ever find yourself getting tired, and just wanting to say "f#*k it"
sometimes you just have to turn that shit off. I listened to it, I learned from it. The story I learned about hasn't changed or stopped being played out. I started preparing. I eventually had to turn it off. I occasionally listen, but not more than every couple months now.
I am still concerned but not fatalistic or despairing. I still prepare. I can focus on doing the things still demanded of me by life, work etc. In fact now that some time has past without hearing all that "news" I have to say I am more determined to get as much return from my efforts before it gets too bad......economy turns sour and work drops off.... like a squirrel in the last days before the snows come. The sun's still shining so I am making hay. Have fun with the gun |
Re: Do you ever find yourself getting tired, and just wanting to say "f#*k it"
Reading a good engrossing fiction book helps to take my mind off of things. I'd recommend "A Game of Thrones" by George R.R. Martin and its sequels :) Of course going to the range helps too!
I think I'm going to either take a vacation or make some frivolous purchases soon, I've been too strict with my finances after reading GIM-stuff every day. All the financial bad news really wears one down! |
Re: Do you ever find yourself getting tired, and just wanting to say "f#*k it"
:rolleyes_m: America is the most pressurized culture in the history of the world.
We create laws and taxes for things other countries haven't even discovered yet...that philosophy alone should be the tip off America has gone over the edge. You're not alone Hive...the crap gets deeper by the hour. Fire a few rounds for me. :bear_w00t::D:bear_w00t: |
Re: Do you ever find yourself getting tired, and just wanting to say "f#*k it"
I'm burnt out also. Unfortunately I am only a few trips to the fast food joints away from dead. I'm supposed to give up Bagels and donuts for criminy sakes. No Pasta, no Almond Rocha. No sugar at all and those little toffee coated peanuts I like so much, none. Ice cream is out. Now what do I do? http://goldismoney.info/forums/images/icons/icon6.gif
Don't worry about it bro, it could be a lot worse. |
Re: Do you ever find yourself getting tired, and just wanting to say "f#*k it"
Get rid of your tv. If I watch even 15 min of tv my blood pressure goes thru the roof. Mindless crap.

Re: Do you ever find yourself getting tired, and just wanting to say "f#*k it"
I am soooooooo at that point right now...
Even when I try to quite my mind.... to try and "pray" ask for some sort of guidence I start cussing out the universe when I speak about my present condition( it is beyond frustrating). But I reached a point when I dont fake the funk anymore......if that is on my mind(I am pissed the hell off) that is what I say and I dont bite my tounge while spewing it..... Life is getting too short now a days to be living with regrets. squeeze off a few rounds for me as well T |

Just Cowboy up Buck aroo....

Re: Do you ever find yourself getting tired, and just wanting to say "f#*k it"
yeah I'm tired as hell too. And what pisses me off the most is how I have no time for anything anymore. I am losing track of what day it is. Weeks are going by like Days. I am feeling more and more restless and aggravated. There is some external energy exciting me and stressing me out.
There is a Russian scientist who believes our solar system is entering a massive galactic energy storm and this is causing great amounts of energy to pour into our solar system wreaking havok. Magnetic fields of all the planets including our own are getting disrupted. Volcanic activity is growing on all the planets. Jupiter is growing a new giant red spot. The sun is experiencing a height of sunspot activity which directly affects us... It's like we are being cooked in a microwave causing everything to vibrate at an uncorrelated pace until our atoms are ripped apart. That's how I've felt lately |

Throw in some greasy fries and all the ketchup you can stand......you'd be amazed how much better things will look after that ! :D |
Re: Do you ever find yourself getting tired, and just wanting to say "f#*k it"
I'm in euphoria right now...
Every payday I go and buy a sub sandwich, take the sub with me to McD and order a coke and McFlurry. Mmm... Then I go to my post office and collect my PMs and gadgets that I've bought for in cheap US $. Mmmmm... And now I'm home, drinking vanilla flavoured sencha tea w/ honey while checking out my stocks. Nice... |
Re: Do you ever find yourself getting tired, and just wanting to say "f#*k it"
Hive, what ever became of your "Tour de Northwest" last year? As I recall, you were going to come up this way to check things out, considering a move. Although it may not be practical with jobs and school and all, I think getting out of LA would improve your outlook considerably.

Re: Do you ever find yourself getting tired, and just wanting to say "f#*k it"
The whole world lieth in wickedness. Without getting preachy, I can tell you this. This world is not meant to be our home. It was.... once but it has this little problem called "sin" a sin cursed world. There is no "fixing" it by US.
As we sing in church. This world is not my home I'm just passing through my treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue the angels beckon me from Heaven's open door and I can't feel at home in this world anymore O Lord you know I have no friend like you if Heaven's not my home then Lord what will I do? The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door and I can't feel at home in this world anymore. |
Re: Do you ever find yourself getting tired, and just wanting to say "f#*k it"
Hive, you're gonna die. We all will. Oh well.
Sometimes saying "**** it all!" is the very best thing to do. Our preparations are not supposed to be all-consuming, even if they are important. The world offers a lot of enjoyment and temptations, some of which are enhanced by knowing they are not permanent. But it's too late to take the Blue Pill. You can't go back to where you were before. You'd have to take a lot of pills to forget, and you'd end up in the gutter before that happened. So take a break. Go on vacation. Go to a comedy club or a casino. Go enjoy something that won't be around after TSHTF. But take care of yourself--boiled down, it's the one resource you have that can't be replaced. |
Re: Do you ever find yourself getting tired, and just wanting to say "f#*k it"
I went through a phase after finding out about everything where I was freaked out and scared of what would happen. After a while though it wore off and now I am calm. It took a couple of years though. It in some ways it is like losing a loved one where you go through different stages of grieving. Only in this case it is your mind re adjusting to reality.
I still have a sense of urgency for preparing but it is driven more by tactical thinking than anything else. I have no fear for myself anymore. What happens happens I guess, I know I will have a better chance than 99% of the population. I still worry about my family a bit though. They are aware but have taken very little action. |
Re: Do you ever find yourself getting tired, and just wanting to say "f#*k it"
Yes it is like there is a major paradigm shift happening. I can't really explain it but the tensions in all facets of human living seem to be stretching to the limit. Police brutality is on the rise, geopolitics very unstable, corperate facism running rampant, domestic leadership built on lies, and on and on. Black is white and right is wrong. Injustices abound on the streets and in the courts. The earth itself seems to want to puke. I believe the bible calls it the birth pangs of the end. At least thats what it feels like.

Re: Do you ever find yourself getting tired, and just wanting to say "f#*k it"
can't complain, but I do practice the course which is about undoing and not taking the world and all it's little toys and trinkets and other dualistic mumbo jumbo seriously.. I live a relatively peaceful life...
thoughts create your reality.. haven't you been listening? :tongue_ma: http://www.godlikeproductions.com/fo...sage511017/pg1 |

Hive, stop, sit still for a few minutes, and search your mind for the things that give you pleasure: sights, smells, touches, tastes, sounds. Find a combination of the senses and gift yourself with an hour of "Me time." I live a stress-filled life, working too hard, never getting ahead, taking care of an elderly parent, struggling to put a kid through college, no social life, no dating, damned little pleasure, ON TOP of all the SHTF concerns. When I can't bear it anymore, I buy myself a wine cooler and a bag of bbq potato chips, I take my cd player loaded with my favorite soothing music (New Age) and my dog, and we walk to a little forested area about a mile from my home. I spend an hour all by myself, sitting in the sun, smelling the pines, listening to music, sipping my drink, filling up on junk food guaranteed to clog my arteries in 3 bites or less, and watch my puppy chase butterflies. For one hour I DON'T think about my problems, my burdens, or the disaster-of-the-week. After an hour or so life just seems to look a little better and it is somehow easier to go home and pick up the mantle of responsibilities and burdens again. The idea is to overload all of your senses with as much pleasure as possible. It's like a mini-vacation -- hyacinths to feed my soul. Give it a try. |

Re: Do you ever find yourself getting tired, and just wanting to say "f#*k it"
sounds like a stress reaction. You need to take your brain out of survival prep mode and put it in neutral for a while.
If you have some money to waste to take a loved one to Las Vegas and see some shows. Eat a steak, do nothing useful and probably destructive for a few days. And if you can't find a loved one, I hear you can rent one out there. If you are not flush moneywise, sit on a park bench and feed squirrels. They are grateful and pretty entertaining. |
