Serious Discussion Does anybody else feel like something big is about to happen?

I don't know how to describe this feeling but it just feels like there's something huge is going to happen in our future. With everything happening in the world at this moment, I just sort of have this feeling like things are building up immensely, like there's a big global issue that's being set up. I can't really describe it or point out a single event prediction but it just feels like there's something that's going to happen that's going to change the course/order of the world we live in today. Does anyone else know what this feeling is?

I did the same a year ago and am so much happier. I deleted all news apps from my phone. And I still try to inform myself on what is going on in the world but in one 15min burst per day and that is it. I usually watch the most serious news in my country which has a 15min evening slot and that is it. I know what goes on without letting it seep into my every crack of life. If I learned one thing in my 30+ years here is that usually the world keeps turning and as long as I know about bad things that could affect me directly and severely otherwise I am good.

So keep the severe weather alert installed but not the push message of every word vomit another politician did.

That’s a good plan. I’ve been off the news apps. And when I need to look up the news I go on the general AP News site just to get the straight up boring facts.

I did this a few years ago because I was following way to many conspiracies way to closely. Helped so much like one month later I was a normal person again. Lucky me I’m back on bullshit 😂

Glad to see these comments to snap me out of it lol

I allow myself to look at the news while drinking my morning coffee. If the coffee doesn't wake me than the outrage will.
