Thank you for your reponse, and you make a very valid point. It does seem that everywhere you turn we are being blasted with negativity. It makes sense to me that this could be taking a toll on people.

Ya I think I know what you mean.

Snippy?

Thank you for you response!

My life is good, my finances are good. My husband and I are about to celebrate 25 years of marriage, we have a son in college and a bright and beautiful daughter. I can't explain why I feel as I do these days. Before anyone mentions menopause and such, I am only 42. Not that that was necessary, just wanted to get that out of the way and my horomones are checked regularly due to thyroid issues...that aside now... as I said, I can not explain it. It hits me out of nowhere.

Well good for you, maybe the near perfection of your own life has given you time to relax and perhaps even take in recognition of the torment surrounding the people around you.

Could just be noticing others now that you may recently be unconcerned with yourself.

I'm not surprised though, times are tough these days, sure people are at each others throats! I even cussed my boss out today over a lack of a raise and quit my job...... before the door I got the raise and much much more

Don't let people bring you down, their all backstabbing people, just breathe in and be happy with the fact that your life is ok! Sounds good, and I am really glad it is going well!!!! Feel lucky

You also say you've been having bad dreams lately?

Well do this for me, describe a dream that was really really good? A happy dream you've had.

I have noticed what you are talking about.

The kind of person I am however, cannot take this type of behaviour seriously. I often find that cracking a little joke, smiling or carrying on relaxes it. People are taking lifes difficulties so serious, running around in their circles of meaningless purchases.

Where I live there was recently a water problem, nobody had tap water for four days. By the end of the first day I had seen four seperate incidents of people fighting over bottled water that nobody but me would get involved in, a disabled friend had their water stolen from their doorstep and the police had to monitor people at the local water drop off point (it was like a refugee food drop of point that has not had food for weeks).

I gave my water away to my neighbours and helped older people get a water delivery. Is it not ironic that people are fearing a collapse of society, money is not society, its the people that are society and how you act is all that can change it.

What use is profiting the whole world if you die with nothing at the end of it.

Its cornflakes is it not?



Get a life, before its to late.



Cornflakes aint nothing without sugar and maybe one day you can have some bread.

Later on today I will be visiting a young man (much like myself), who tried to kill himself last night with an overdose. Why am I doing that, yet I dont even really know him? Because the boy needs a helping hand.
Love your neighbour, right?? Nobody else is doing anything but speaking about this poor man behind his back.

I love life and I look back and see myself as a fool for thinking any different before.

Another theory is that we are all interconnected somehow (universal consciousness). Not only are we connected to each other but also to all the animals and to the earth. Look at how the earth is being treated, maybe we are just feeling what it is feeling. I know that is kind of out there but I find all this universal consciousness very interesting.

I have given this some thought lately, mainly due to my own behavior... or rather my own behavior has made me more aware of others. I started a thread recently about myself being angry more often, which is totally out of character for me. Funny thing is, after some observation, its not just me

Fist before answering your question you stated "Due to my own behavior" and then "My own behavior has made me more aware of others" obviously this is a change in behavior that you are very much aware of, what would that change be may I ask?

At a guess I would say you have become more aware of Ego...

But that's just a guess, I will be more than happy to answer this in more detail rather via u2u or in the topic... entirely your choice if their is any choice at all

have you heard anything about ascension? the energy of the earth changing? i am not saying that is "it" but it could be why or part of the reason why.

google ascension or earth ascension and see if what you find resonates. here is one site to get you started. www.spiritual-experiences.com...


it really is a fascinating thing if you are interested in the subject.

Although within we are connected, our minds are very separate.

Simple solution.....

Don't make others fit the image you have of them in your mind , drop it.... let them be. Sometimes people need to experience certain things in their life for a reason, from every negative experience there is a lesson, from every positive experience their is a lesson.

e.g I pray and pray to God or seek from the universe, oh please almighty oh please universe bring me peace, show me how to find peace, show me how to hang onto peace.

Sometimes the almighty/universe responds by showing you the opposite to peace....

and why?

So you can experience the opposite of peace and overcome it..

Negativity will always be their, how you respond to negativity is key.... your response manifest you lesson... again and again and again, until you learn from that lesson.

No not ego, anger. I will feel anger rising in me for no valid reason really and that is not like me. I have never been an angry person. I always considered it a waste of energy. I am a cut up by nature, always have been. I control these feelings of anger very well, but they are there.

Edit to add: A big trigger for me is noise. Now crazy as this may sound, noise hurts my skin. Its like needles to me and it seems that there is no quiet place to be found anywhere anymore.... just an observation from my personal perspective...

Something or someone must be triggering this anger, unless it's related to medication you may be on or something similar. I think the best option would be to consult your doctor, we can give friendly advice but that's about it.

The best advice is to meditate, go within and sense what the cause of this anger is. I'm sure if you dig deep enough and be totally honest with yourself you will get to the root of the anger.

With a lot of people this stems for how the world is today and how it used to be e.g. When you were a child/youth/young adult things were more simple. I am in no way qualified to say anything more than that, but please if the problem persist go seek professional help, these things can really take a grip of your life.

Best of luck...

Ahhh now we are getting somewhere, as I sit here now I have my nephew his friend sat downstairs screaming and a few others from the family talking and laughing loud. I myself can sense anger from that, not so much anger but frustration because it breaks concentration.

You just have to learn to filter it out, the more energy you give the thought of this the more power you give it. Take some time out, sick some relaxing music on and slow down the mind. Most of all don't worry, and smile if that don't work tell everyone to shut the hell up.....
