Count me in too. I think my negative feelings increase after I see the news online or on TV and all they report are the bad things that people do to each other. I wonder if news journalists get PTSD as a part of their jobs from seeing and writing stories about, filming, editing and then talking about all the crime and destruction they see.
I also have lost faith in humanity. I think that humans will fight over the earth's clean water supply, the food supply will not feed the growing population, which will start wars and then diseases will spread through dirty water or contaminated food, and the diseases or the wars will kill off most of the people on earth. Greed will kill us. The Bush administration is the perfect example of greed, but that's another soapbox.
Part of PTSD is a feeling that my life will be shortened. At this point, that's okay with me because the world is going to hell and I don't want to be a part of it. Were people so mean 100 years ago, and we didn't know it because we didn't have instant worldwide news? |
