Thank you. I've been struggling with this one a LOT. I imagine quite a few of us have.
I've been pretty depressed and forlorn, been thinking of taking time off work, struggling to be productive, not getting any projects done at home.
Best friend and I really got into it at lunch the other day. He's too calm and analytical, also watches npr and others, blech, relationship is strained. Family being supportive, its been hard on them too.
I want to shut down and crawl in a hole. I have good influences in life, been a Christian for a long time, but giving into dispair HARD these last 3 days. Serious dark place.
This post is helping me snap out of it. I knew it was the right answer, but this reinforces!
Chiming in here. My life has been very tumultuous since November 3, partly because I have been very focused on Q content and the work under DJT for the past 3 years, working as a digital soldier, etc. (I'm not even American, by the way).
And, I noticed I was experiencing very dark, feelings of dread at times and at other times, very light, uplifting feelings, depending where I was giving attention. MSM news or negative content would make it hard, and positive theories, etc, would lift me up.
So in recent days (weeks) I have been distancing myself from the entire process. I trust in God, love God, but I have realized that I have NOT been investing enough in the areas I am directly responsible for: loving my family and making the way forward for them (Come what may), changing my life to be much more aligned with God (many changes actually needed), etc. And, also, looking more at how I can make a practical difference in other people's lives, including my home state and nation (not America).
It's not that I think Q was a psyop - but too much immersion in any activity or approach can get out of balance and out of kilter, and my emotional experiences since Nov 3 indicate that to me.
Take is easy; step back; focus on what you CAN directly do for others around you, love and get closer to God, and leave the big stuff to others who have the responsibility for them.
Be well.

Excellent words of wisdom. I’ve also been experiencing similar feelings of some depression and anxiety (lack to focus), all while believing that there is something greater than myself that is happening right now (aka God). While I have a deep desire to help bring God’s plan to fruition, I have to step back and realize that I’m really nothing, and God is everything.
Take time to breath, take care of yourselves, your responsibilities, and those around you. I think we need this reminder regularly as those of us who are awoken are fighting this good fight.
After Jan 6 I was also pretty depressed I can tell you that. After the shit they pulled on us that day. But the day after I started to pray and I remember saying to myself what more can they possible do to us. They already done every thing they can towards us and it can only go up.
And now 24 days l8r we got their financial criminal friends who financed the election fraud on the chopping block. God works in mysteries ways
Despair is of the enemy. Make a choice to turn and choose life. I just started listening to this woman of God who has been sharing words from the Lord that I found to be very encouraging and also supports what many here believe regarding what is happening behind the scene.
I've been struggling a lot as well, but I dont want to lose sight of the end goal. As much as those around me think I am, well you know. I have to believe that good will prevail.
Me, too, fren. Me, too.
I’m so glad you posted this because it actually does make me feel better to know that not just you, but apparently a lot of us are feeling exactly the same way. ...Which is a NORMAL reaction for people who are awake to what is going on around us. Some great advice was given to you I’m also going to take. I went to a very dark place earlier this week and have felt demonically attacked, prayed to God repeatedly and He 100% pulled me out of that, brought people into my life that could help, and placed me in firm ground. I’m now taking more breaks away from my phone and tablet, pray to God frequently throw the day, get outside and walk/hike, and do my best to focus on the present, God, and my family and to trust God. I still struggle but it is much more manageable now. For now. :)
If you live in the past you will be depressed.
If you live in the future you will be anxious.
Live in the present and enjoy every breath for the blessing it is....
It works, until you meet Bruce Lee. That's when he says, "Be like water."
“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
And they all think you're a misguided sheep going to hell for not believing in their beliefs. Really unfortunate how closed minded many of them are in the community. Does a huge disservice for ALL who seek truth, regardless of where it comes from.
I think it’s really important to remember what Ephesians 6:12 tells us: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
This battle is a spiritual battle and we need to remember what we know about God’s character. Unless we believe He doesn’t care about the lives of innocent children, or the “spiritual forces of wickedness” around us, then we have to KNOW that we are on the side of good and the battle is already won! He tells us not to lose heart, and the way to accomplish that is this: “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is ANY excellence and anything worthy of praise, DWELL ON THESE THINGS.”
Philippians 4:8. Keep the Faith - God is in this!
This is the core belief in the Stoic philosophy of Greco Roman origin. If you want to learn more, please look into Marcus Aurelius’ book “Meditations”. It’s a short read, but it’s a book that every fucking American should read, and is more relevant than ever as a guiding compass for mental well-being.
I keep this book in my vehicle and read it at lunch. I have re-read it so many times. Paperback. It's curved to my carrier bin. Stained, curved, I keep it because the words don't change no matter how much the pages bend.
I agree. Even one person can drastically change the world. Like Jesus. Or Buddha, or Ghandi... also Hitler, Bill Gates, Rothchilds.... but what I think OP saying is we need to be more calm/centered and not just reacting to all the chaos around us, because they WANT us out of sorts, depressed, beaten down. They being the Luciferians. Meditation and prayer and a positive, peaceful mindset can help to thwart that. It also keeps us healthy mentally/spiritually for when we need to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!
This is a classical stoicism tenet, if not it's very core value! Love it, and has gotten me through so many seemingly "tough" situations both professionally and personally.
I HIGHLY recommend reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, one of the youngest emperors to be at the helm of the Roman empire. It reads like a bullet diary of his, applying sound lessons to his day to day interactions. It's important to remember he was a product of his time, though very little is actually "problematic" as the new gestapo would call it. If you're earnestly reading Aurelius, you're probably past the point of caring about PC culture.
Epictetus is another that teaches excellent stoicism through his writing, like The Enchiridion.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.
Long version:
God, give me grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

!!!!!!! THIS !!!!!!!
Indeed
Wish I was more spiritual 30 years ago. Otherwise, I would be so much more calm and collected now.
Thanks for sharing.
Accept what is, and do nothing, not even desire, to change 95% of it
Accept what is, and work to change the 4% that is necessary and possible for you to change
Accept what is, and move away from the 1% of situations that are life threatening
I agree. Even one person can drastically change the world. Like Jesus.

I need to include this^ in my daily prayers again. It's an excellent reminder. And, one that puts things into perspective.
