"Everybody's got that sinking feeling..."

Edited on Wed Jun-16-04 05:34 PM by Taverner

"Like theyre father or the dog just died..."

Anyone else feel this way...tell me I'm not the only one...

With what's coming out with the 9/11 hearings, the debate over the "real" Mohammed Atta and the public's complacency with the Shrub admin despite everything else to the contrary...

I really don't know that many people who've been genuinely happy a lot or hasn't gone through something tragic or stressful since about that period of time.

5. Maybe it's just my horrible diet of junk food, but...

my gut seems to be leaning towards the expectation of things both terrible and great (as in good). Lol, but that's so vague and ambiguous as to be practically meaningless. Gut feelings often seem to be that way.

I felt just like you're feeling now for a long while, but lately it's getting somewhat better. As it's been said: "This too shall pass".

4. Very strange!

I woke up this morning with a feeling of doom. It was a beautiful day. I am in a beautiful place. I have not been able to shake the feeling that another shoe is going to drop. George W. Bush is a cloud on my life. I hate this!

7. I`ve had that same feeling off and on

Sometimes I get that "butterflies in my stomach" feeling of general anxiety. And I just can`t explain it. Never felt that way before things started turning to shit under the Bush regime.

Apathy has grown over the past few weeks. Makes me want to shout "WAKE UP!!! DO SOMETHING!!"

Have you read that poem by the little sister of a soldier that died in Iraq yet? It's on Common Dreams. Here's the link, but, beware, it'll bring a tear to your eye.
