Does Fighting Between People Cause You Anxiety?

[Sweed1]

I watch on the news about all these young people either standing in the streets protesting or fighting in school, or even taking over their classrooms at collage fighting mostly for rights they already have yet do not use. Also wondering how their parents feel and why they are not working a job, instead of yelling and fighting. What is happening in our country and around the world is so scary.
I think the greater share of people around this country and the world, just want to live in peace with their countrymen and neighbors and friends, and just get along with everyone, as well as, helping out where ever help is needed.
I also think that most of the policemen and women are the "good guys." I don't understand where all the hate and bitterness is coming from and I find it is causing lots of anxiety and fear in my life just in wondering where this is leading and how it will end.
Do you feel scared and depressed? Do you wonder what has happened to the younger members of our society? Does anyone have answers or ways to relieve these feelings of dread that I hold in my heart? I go about my day going to work and coming home always friendly to everyone, always seeing many people who have lost their way and can not seem to hear or see others around them who they feel are are different and yet alike and I pray that someday soon it will be over.
Just when I thought my anxiety was under control it is creeping out and stressing me out. Please share your thoughts and opinions on how to cope with this stressful anxiety, other then hiding under a pillow or shutting off the television or becoming a hermit.

Well I am almost a hermit. The sad thing is I don't seem to mind. At least not on the surface anyway. That is the way that I have dealt with it too. I know that things are getting dangerous in today's world, and it has gone towards my agoraphobia and anxieties as well as the other problems that I have had.

I don't know why the world has changed for the worse but it has. All these ancient predictions from Prophets and Sacred Texts seem to be coming true. Something is going on, I can't put my finger on it, but something is going on. Just continue to be a good person and appreciate all the good wonderful things in the life and on the planet.

Apart from the other things that depress me, yes I am having a problem with today's society. Which is also causing me stress and anxieties. I would say, keep watching the telly, that way you will be prepared. Rejoice in it. Know that whatever is happening is Gods plan. Whoever God is. Just keep yourself on the side of the good and keep your head down so no rocks hit you.

You are not alone in these thoughts. I feel the same but I have accepted it. I have accepted that we may be in the end days or we may not be. I have accepted that there are Government conspiracies and that they cannot be trusted. None of those in power can be trusted. I know that those in power are corrupt. A lot of people don't agree with me but I don't mind that.

I look at things like this:-

and then I wonder why this EU building is fashioned the same as Nimrods Tower of Babel. Why would they do that?

It does scare me whatever it is the world's governments are up to. But it seems that a lot of things are orchestrated.

There are always pattern everywhere you look for them. If you stare at something random long enough you will start to 'see' a pattern in all of it. I don't know if all of this is orchestrated or not, but I do know that as long as you keep choosing to focus on all these negative things you will just perpetuate the negative feelings that cause you anxiety and depression. LOOK AWAY! Sounds too simplistic, I know. But try it for a few days or a week and see and feel the difference it will make in your life.

YES, I remember once my Grandpa was in the hospital and I was already all worried about that, and then for some reason my parents got into an argument (my Mom tends to start fights when she's worried about something, it's just how she copes with stress I suppose.) Anyway, their argument- which wasn't even all that bad, caused me to have a full-blown panic attack. I was right on the verge anyway, but that was enough to push me over the edge. But when other people fight and everything else is going okay with me, and my life, I would have to say no, I don't think it would be enough to heighten my anxiety - I just would rather not see people fight or disagree in general. I've never really had much of a temper, so I have a hard time understanding how people can just blow up and start arguing like that, or being violent with one another. I don't like to see it, because I just don't understand it. Or when people get mad enough to throw something across the room or break things.... ......what good did that do? Now you have to clean up the mess you made. And that's just extra work.
So do I feel scared or depressed? Well, scared...yes, a lot of the time, even with my meds (that's when I know it's time to take them.) But what really, really helps even though for some reason you might not feel like doing it - because a lot of the time I don't feel like doing it either....is going on youtube and listening to meditation videos. They can really take you away for a while and bring you some peace, inner-peace. They work.

Meditation does work. I downloaded an app on meditation called" end anxiety ". I tried it for the first time last night and I was actually surprised. .. now on the actual subject. I have a short fuse.. i'm easily stressed and if i'm at work and people bother me I can't say anything and when I get home.. I don't want to be bothered and if iam .. I tend to be snappy and I get mad over the smallest thing. My husband will ask me to fix him something to drink and I snap because i'm already tired and all I want to do is chill and I just blow up and yell because I 'm tired and all ht events of the day gets to me at the end of the day and it's like when he ask me to do something for him ... for some reason .. it pushes me over the edge. It may be wrong but, I feel like I can't keep those feeling s bottled up. Is it wrong that it's directed at him? Yes. But, at the time I can't help it.
