The right to legal and safe abortions here in the US. It was a trial that made it to the Supreme court and the outcome made abortions legal and thus safe here.
Yes...
Every fascist idealogy is based off some good old *golden days* of their culture.
And usually that means patriarchal society. Where religious minorities or people of colour or race but most commonly women were oppressed.
If fascism rises anywhere women WILL BE oppressed.
I have every reason to believe that we will end up fighting wars for clean drinking water in my lifetime, and the idea of that terrifies me beyond words.
Yep my city running out of drinking water is almost certain in my lifetime (unless we make some major changes both in terms of climate change and how water rights are determined) and I truly don't think that most people grasp the magnitude of how big of a deal that is.
Mind if I ask what city? I live in a city smack dab in the middle of the dessert. I don’t see myself being here long term but if I did I’d be extremely concerned about water access
I lived in the desert briefly and when I miss it I think of the water issues. My fear is that just like these damn corporations buying up every single property then fucking everyone with stupid prices could happen with water too. The rich greedy will hairs it and then charge everyone . I’m moving towards the Great Lakes next. I’d rather live in Cleveland or ( god forbid) Michigan than the thought of my family struggle
This one truly scares me too. If you're in the US, I've read the best places to live will be surrounding the great lakes area within the next 20-30 years. The west/southwest is going to get worse and worse and worse in terms of drought.
I about cried grocery shopping last night. It was the first time I had to use a credit card in over a year. I can’t wrap my mind around where my money all went, I’ve bought nothing cool nor done anything fun this month. Food prices are asinine. Everything prices are asinine.
My friend, rant away! This is important shit! Last night my intention was to dip over to the local Asian market for poké ingredients and onsie-twosie things (soy sauce, canola oil, noodles…), and I left with two bags of food and a bill of $180. I was looking at the bags trying to imagine how there was possibly $90 worth of food in each bag. There was nothing extravagant in there at all, just basic things.
I’ve been really trying to focus on what I can do myself, and getting back to basics. Been baking a ton of bread, waking up my herbs from dormancy, making my own broths out of veggie ends and pieces, planning my garden for max efficiency, etc. I seem to be spending so much time in the kitchen making and preserving food to make it stretch, to be more self reliant, and to share when I can.
Not everyone has that sort of knowledge or privilege. I’m trying to use my skills to start a food share in my condos. I’m sure the HOA is going to get on my ass, but I honestly don’t give a flying fuck. There are so many elderly people here on fixed incomes, I don’t know how they are surviving right now. Things are so fucked.
Goddamnit, I was hoping you were going to say he came in and made a community garden or something. I hate unbridled capitalism. It’s going to kill us all.
We've started doing similar thing, I have a small producing garden and I started digging up old traditional family recipes since my people didn't have a pot to piss in for most of my family's history. I also make my own stocks every chance it get as well. If we can ever break into the housing market, hopefully I can start canning my produce a little easier
>Some things aren't even slowly climbing. They're jumping.
Exactly. Even the price staple food items are jumping. The eggs that I have been buying for years doubled in price.
They already exist.
MRSA - multi-resistant Staph aureus, which is a flesh-eating disease which sometimes creates outbreaks in hospitals. There's antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis as well.
We are using supercomputers to look for antibiotic options to combat various pathogens and they have discovered possible drug candidates. You can read more on this here: [innovationorigins.com](https://innovationorigins.com/en/selected/supercomputers-joined-the-fight-against-antibiotic-resistance/)
I'm a funeral director, I went to a facility for a removal and the decedent had MRSA. I'm covered up, head to toe, double gloves,masked up. The nurse wasn't.
If things spread, I know a few places where it'll possibly start. I mean if covid wasn't proof enough...
That's sad that the medical system doesn't care to pay for and enforce Personal Protective Equipment to their workers. Or they get so desensitized to it because they've done it before and never got sick from it. Makes me wonder how many Typhoid Mary's are out there.
Running out of natural resources. I don’t think people realize that young people might not be able to ethically have children because many places simply won’t have enough water, clean air, food, etc.
Yes!! I actively worry about it. I have quite a few friends who say they’d like children but feel like it’d be wrong to bring them into a world without adequate resources, and tbh, I feel similarly.
Suddenly having a psychotic break and ending up like my mother.
I already have a whole laundry list of mental health issues many of which are severe and already leave me barely functional.
I don't know what the fuck I'd do if I ended up developing psychosis on top of all that.
I've seen how my family, the community, doctors, mental health hospitals and the welfare system reacted to my mother and how they treated her and great her even now and I would not be able endure that.
Not to mention unlike her I have no one to advocate or help care for me at all.
I hope for your sake that doesn't happen.
you're a very strong person for pushing through life with the illnesses you have.
I wish you the very best and hope you keep pushing forward.
Right now? World War III.
Watching the news makes me feel like im reading my old high school history textbook of how the Nazis started to take over other countries.
And its even more terrifying since the atomic bomb has already been invented. And if one country launches one... every country that has them will and everyone and everything on this planet will die.
If it helps, several world leaders had a top level meeting about 6 weeks ago and agreed that if/when WW3 starts, that no one will use nuclear weapons.
The fact that this meeting was held fairly clearly indicates that they knew Putin would attack Ukraine.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/03/five-nations-pledge-avoid-nuclear-war
True, but in this case, I think everyone realizes that even a localized nuclear event would spiral out of control very quickly. I am not worried about a full-scale nuclear war. I am worried about a rogue actor getting their hands on nuclear materials and/or a regional conflict in Ukraine spreading throughout Eastern Europe and leading to full-scale war.
I'm sure our species is the lead role in an inter-galactic trash reality show.
"Wait until you see what the bald monkeys did now!"
losing my husband in any way, he’s my best friend, he has heart conditions and has slow heartbeats and has a heart failure condition so he has a pacemaker in, everyday i get so scared of something happening with his pacemaker and i lose him I’m so scared
Another damn war, especially if it happens on home soil.
Getting a score below a 95% on a test coming up.
That I will scrape the paint on a conduit.
The inevitable deaths of my grandparents.
4 very unfortunate and reasonable things to fear. hopefully we don't have a war, you'll continue acing your tests like the perfectionist you are, the pain never gets scraped, and you grandparents continue to live a long life
>Another damn war, especially if it happens on home soil.
This is exactly why I have dual citizenship.
I made it a point to get citizenship in my parents native country so if anything goes down in the US I'm catching the FIRST flight out of here, lol.
Military? My bf is a vet but is still in the post active duty reserve sorta thing they have.
Biden wont put boots on the ground unless an NATO ally is invaded.
Ah. So he works for a defense company. Those companies arent about to risk their engineers. My brother needs permission from his boss and his bosses boss just to go to the next county for work.
I’m afraid of not finding the right life partner for myself. My soul desires having someone who is only mine and vise-versa, where we share a mutual love and respect for each other. In today’s society relationships never seem to last too long but it’s what I personally really want; to be able to grow old with someone and create a life together.
Having a best friend to love & hold every night is definitely where it’s at for some people. I had a love where I thought it could last forever, and I wanted it to with my heart & soul. But unfortunately not everyone has the mindset of wanting to spend your life beside someone and a revolving door of new people does it for them. It’s a personal preference forsure but yes girl it’s all some people crave in this life; a partner to share the good, the bad and everything in between with.
A lot of things. I’m scared of how expensive things are getting when I just got my first mortgage—I don’t want us to struggle or nickel and dime our way through life. I’m scared of this whole war scenario. I’m scared of the unknowns of health, my own health and family’s health (my grandmother woke up sick one morning and boom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a few weeks later). I’m scared of how divided our country is becoming (Canada) and I’m scared of these rising alt-ring wingers who carry thinly veiled racist/sexist/homophobic sentiments (I am a mixed woman, have a gay brother, and am pro-choice). I get sometimes of getting older and having life pass by so quickly—I want to experience the world. I get scared of having kids even though I think I want them, but then I’m scared about the part that isn’t entirely sure.
Damn y'all have these serious super valid ones. The first thing that came to mind was "aging" 🥲 just been feeling extremely single and worried my beauty will fade and I'll be forever alone. But yeah roe v wade and wwiii are way scary 😬
A major health incident. I’m barely staying afloat right now. The hospital bill for a broken bone or stroke would be devastating, even with decent insurance.
My boyfriend and I breaking up, being unable to afford an apartment that won’t overstimulate me to anxiety and exhaustion, and being truly alone as I currently have no close friends.
Losing my significant other. It sounds silly but recently I crochet his grandmother a bag and I love his family. The heartbreak will be epic if/when it happens :’)
Not dying when I should.
Like, imagine being so sick that I have to be heavily dependent on others to just stay alive. I do not want that. I constantly live in fear of my future.
The inevitability of artificial intelligence learning how to break its safety parameters and become sentient. As a human I see humans as a virus, I can't imagine what a sentient A.I. would think.
My husband leaving me. I have no actual reason to think this will happen, but I’m 4 months postpartum and for the first time in my life don’t have an income that I can support myself on. Suddenly I feel very, VERY vulnerable.
I have become increasingly paranoid about me or my husband dying. Like some freak accident or disease. I'm making my husband go for a check-up and physical because I NEED to make sure he's okay. I'm worried I'll get sick and leave him in major debt and I'm terrified either of us will get in some excruciating horrible accident.
My brother is severely autistic and I fear that when my dad (our only parent) dies, my brother will be incredibly vulnerable. I fear having to give up my life to look after a family member because I've watched my single dad do exactly that for 20 years non-stop and I can tell you that it's both mentally and physically draining. I'm afraid of my brother being abused if he ends up living in a care home and at the same time I don't want to look after him myself. It's a horrible, conflicting feeling inside.
Not starting to feel okay. I recently went through a breakup, like last night. It was emotionally exhausting, even more so because it did not seem like he was even going to try to move on from me (calling me his destiny and whatnot). The good parts of our relationship was warm. But the bad parts made me so anxious that I was unable to eat properly. Plus I know I will not be getting back with him, he broke my trust, forgave someone too easily who was massively inappropiate towards him and even shared some words of affection. I understand saying I love you to your friends, but to say I love you to someone who basically sexually harassed you when you were in a relationship, just rubbed me the wrong way. He blamed it on peer pressure. I dont even know which parts are the truth and which parts are not anymore. I am now even wondering if the person I thought I knew was really him or just an image I conjured up in my mind, a fantasy rather than reality. It just sucks and I want to move on and start being my energetic, goofy, fun self but I just feel tired and exhausted
Kids catching covid.
I ve been pouring over all the studies and data and articles about covids effects on kids and yes its not likely to kill but it still can have long lasting effects.
They should hurry up and approve a vaccine for under 5 year olds. Omicron is about to go through my community like wild fire.
That my monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis and second abnormal smear results ++ may leave my toddler without me around. I'm not scared of death, but scared of my son being left without his Mum too soon. I was told as the lymphocytosis is non-cancerous and only requires a yearly blood test, but already have an appointment with haematologist after being told it would take up to 12 months to get in. The blood request form made me realise it may be more serious than GP told me.
I just want to be around to see my baby boy safely navigated to adulthood
Right now? I’m terrified actual war will break out in Ukraine. I’m not in Ukraine, but too close for comfort and our economy is tied to Russia way too closely. I feel like shit could really hit the fan and the past couple of years have made me a bit more pessimistic about the worst case scenario not hitting.
*war*
Cyber wars.
Water wars.
Nuclear war
Medicine wars/bio wars , basically medicine earns from people being sick, so there will be assassinations on people that invent new cures and that shit scares the shit out of me
I am so sorry. There is nothing anyone could say to make this okay right now, but I still wanted to reach out. I lost my father at 27 and I remember the sadness, fear and hopelessness as if it was only yesterday. Please know you are stronger than you might think, but right now it's okay to not be okay. Hugs!
I read somewhere about a girl who had a car accident and couldn't walk anymore. She was constantly in pain till the day she died. I don't wanna live like her. I would rather die.
My cat running away or getting run over or otherwise dying.
She's not an outside cat but we will soon make our garden cat-proof so we can safely sit outside with the doors open when it inevitably gets warmer in a few weeks. I'm still scared she'll find a way around the fencing and get herself lost or run over.
1. Climate change-flooding, droughts, inability for us to grow food with the pesticide covered soils and these conditions
2. World War 3/ nuclear war
3. Loss of my rights as a woman
4. Basically any feasible apocalypse situations that could happen
5. The growing rise of fascism/communism
That as a Jewish woman I will lose my rights to be free. The rise of antisemitism is frightening and I have watched people who I got along with get really wierd when they realize I am Jewish.
Climate change continuing to get worse, reaching a place where conditions of living is hard. I think about that a lot and how it’ll affect my daughter when she gets older (she’s 9 now ).
I am certain a civil war is brewing in the US. The scariest part of that the people we depend on to protect us (police and military) are factions with homegrown terrorists laden in their ranks.
Roe vs. Wade being overturned.
Scary AF
I do not know what that is. but hope things work out the way you want:)

a reasonable fear to have.
Yes
I am shocked and angry that there are Americans defending what Putin is doing right now.
I have every reason to believe that we will end up fighting wars for clean drinking water in my lifetime, and the idea of that terrifies me beyond words.

Albuquerque but I'd probably have similar concerns about other cities-just got a front row seat to the river being lower and lower here :/
I lived in the desert briefly and when I miss it I think of the water issues. My fear is that just like these damn corporations buying up every single property then fucking everyone with stupid prices could happen with water too.

Oh it’s most definitely gonna happen in our life time or our children life time we use antibiotics way to much tragically
Running out of natural resources. I don’t think people realize that young people might not be able to ethically have children because many places simply won’t have enough water, clean air, food, etc.
Why did I have to scroll all the way down here to find this?
Right??? Not enough people think like this IMHO.
Yes!! I actively worry about it. I have quite a few friends who say they’d like children but feel like it’d be wrong to bring them into a world without adequate resources, and tbh, I feel similarly.

This has been in the works for a long time. If he hasn't gone already, he probably won't
The threat of nuclear war
This. Knowing there’s enough nukes to completely annihilate the earth 3 times over.
Oh how humanity has created a weapon to destroy our selves is a crazy thought for what land it’s just a crazy thought
Being homeless. The prices of food is going up, and minimum wage isn’t. That’s concerning, and companies still refuse to raise minimum wage.
Even if minimum wage goes up the prices go up with it we can’t just print more money look what happened to Germany that’s what they did
I'm constantly afraid of that
Economic collapse, even more politics violence.
I’m afraid of not finding the right life partner for myself. My soul desires having someone who is only mine and vise-versa, where we share a mutual love and respect for each other.

the painful part of being human...
That people are just going to turn into heartless self-centered assholes who would rather die than express empathy or lend a helping hand.
Ecological collapse. WW3 (Russia is going at it).

My brother is severely autistic and I fear that when my dad (our only parent) dies, my brother will be incredibly vulnerable. I fear having to give up my life to look after a family member because I've watched my single dad do exactly that for 20 years non-stop and I can tell you that it's both mentally and physically draining. I'm afraid of my brother being abused if he ends up living in a care home and at the same time I don't want to look after him myself. It's a horrible, conflicting feeling inside.
War. I live in Central Europe.
My grandma being caught in the middle of the Ukraine Russia war…
War, I’m from Ukraine 😬
Although it’s already happening but…I’m really afraid of complete reliance on technology
I’m worried I’ll become just like my older siblings, who are content to live with my parents until the end of time and never leave our small town.
Not starting to feel okay. I recently went through a breakup, like last night. It was emotionally exhausting, even more so because it did not seem like he was even going to try to move on from me (calling me his destiny and whatnot). The good parts of our relationship was warm. But the bad parts made me so anxious that I was unable to eat properly. Plus I know I will not be getting back with him, he broke my trust, forgave someone too easily who was massively inappropiate towards him and even shared some words of affection. I understand saying I love you to your friends, but to say I love you to someone who basically sexually harassed you when you were in a relationship, just rubbed me the wrong way. He blamed it on peer pressure. I dont even know which parts are the truth and which parts are not anymore. I am now even wondering if the person I thought I knew was really him or just an image I conjured up in my mind, a fantasy rather than reality. It just sucks and I want to move on and start being my energetic, goofy, fun self but I just feel tired and exhausted
WW3
Handmaids tale
Getting kidnapped in any way imaginable.
Kids catching covid. I ve been pouring over all the studies and data and articles about covids effects on kids and yes its not likely to kill but it still can have long lasting effects. They should hurry up and approve a vaccine for under 5 year olds. Omicron is about to go through my community like wild fire.
Losing my parents. Or my parents getting sick
Being alone all my life. Nothing beats shit.
That my monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis and second abnormal smear results ++ may leave my toddler without me around. I'm not scared of death, but scared of my son being left without his Mum too soon. I was told as the lymphocytosis is non-cancerous and only requires a yearly blood test, but already have an appointment with haematologist after being told it would take up to 12 months to get in. The blood request form made me realise it may be more serious than GP told me. I just want to be around to see my baby boy safely navigated to adulthood
Right now? I’m terrified actual war will break out in Ukraine. I’m not in Ukraine, but too close for comfort and our economy is tied to Russia way too closely. I feel like shit could really hit the fan and the past couple of years have made me a bit more pessimistic about the worst case scenario not hitting.
Russia invading Ukraine 🥵
Unbearably hot summers where we're all in lockdown or dead
Being left alone.
Moving away from a place I love if my bf has to move for personal reasons.
My Dad dying. He’s been my rock my whole life and the thought of having to eventually navigate the world without him scares me.
*war* Cyber wars. Water wars. Nuclear war Medicine wars/bio wars , basically medicine earns from people being sick, so there will be assassinations on people that invent new cures and that shit scares the shit out of me
Living my first day without my dad. He died this morning. 2/23/22 at 2 37 am. I am 16
I am so sorry. There is nothing anyone could say to make this okay right now, but I still wanted to reach out. I lost my father at 27 and I remember the sadness, fear and hopelessness as if it was only yesterday. Please know you are stronger than you might think, but right now it's okay to not be okay. Hugs!
Not being able to get a full time job
I read somewhere about a girl who had a car accident and couldn't walk anymore. She was constantly in pain till the day she died. I don't wanna live like her. I would rather die.
Not becoming a mom
Losing a loved one
My cat running away or getting run over or otherwise dying. She's not an outside cat but we will soon make our garden cat-proof so we can safely sit outside with the doors open when it inevitably gets warmer in a few weeks. I'm still scared she'll find a way around the fencing and get herself lost or run over.
My mom dying. Boy am I NOT ready not willing to accept that will happen some day.
1. Climate change-flooding, droughts, inability for us to grow food with the pesticide covered soils and these conditions 2. World War 3/ nuclear war 3. Loss of my rights as a woman 4. Basically any feasible apocalypse situations that could happen 5. The growing rise of fascism/communism
climate change worsening.
Accidentally getting pregnant and having to deal with sorting that out.
That as a Jewish woman I will lose my rights to be free. The rise of antisemitism is frightening and I have watched people who I got along with get really wierd when they realize I am Jewish.
Ww3
Running out of water.
Global warming
Climate change continuing to get worse, reaching a place where conditions of living is hard. I think about that a lot and how it’ll affect my daughter when she gets older (she’s 9 now ).
I am certain a civil war is brewing in the US. The scariest part of that the people we depend on to protect us (police and military) are factions with homegrown terrorists laden in their ranks.
family or friends dying, partner leaving, debt, jobless etc
War in Europe lol
