Had a bad feeling

[lilies]

Something bad happened to a member of this network at around 6:45 PM, Thursday, January 8, 2015, Standard Time +0000 UTC. ~ 14 minutes ago I got the scary feeling similar to what you might feel, when you are told a family member just got a serious accident: a red light started blinking. Probably just a false alarm though. Network ping / connection signals get stronger on EE days sometimes, possibly EE strengthens the connection.

Hi Lilies. You say 'something bad happened' and then 'probably just a false alarm' and so your post seems to be somewhat ambiguous. Just wondering if you get these feelings often and why you associate this feeling with something bad happening to a member of the forum? I'm hoping everyone is actually ok.........

Yes, me too. Probably someone got scared and it reverberated through the network as sound reverberates in a large cathedral. I'm hoping in a scare of a nature, when my wife woke me up in the middle of the night that she got very strong, sharp pains in her kidneys. It was the first time since we were married for months, I got scared and we quickly went to the physician in attendance and one injection made the pain go away. I meant such a medical false alarm, where everybody in the family gets scared and it turns out the doctor could help and there is nothing serious.

I might be in a transitional phase in life / Being - probably a significant change is close -, where also getting such scary vibes - possibly sounded by a member of this network - usually happens.

Re: Something bad happened

Not ruling out the possibility your are right, but given what's going on in France right now it seems likely it's that you are picking up on.
I should imagine a lot of people are feeling scared right now. fwiw

Okay. It could be days, if somebody opens a thread with relevant news. A completely imaginary "hysterical fit"-vibe happened, when Laura posted a photo taken from the side of the Barcelona Conference room, (~October 15th, 2011) From the photo angle and camera lens setting it appeared even more claustrophobic, than (how small it is) in reality and immediately "Oh, my god, there will be a fire! There will be a fire!" I had to fight the urge to email her about my stupid feeling then, it was so completely ridiculous and groundless.

Re: Something bad happened

Being a chronic worrier I understand where you are coming from.
It's not groundless if you are picking up on the emotions of the events in France - just misinterpreted perhaps.
As to the photo, you can use your reaction to learn about your personal biases and then perhaps adjust things based on that knowledge of self.

fwiw I think it's good that you posted your fears none the less

Re: Something bad happened

It can be difficult to know where these "pings" are coming from. I remember having a feeling that something was terribly wrong at the time of the Japanese Tsunami. I thought I had done something wrong but later realized what had happened when I heard the news. It doesn't seem easy to trace these feelings to their source with any degree of accuracy, especially if we have our own masks that we're seeing through.

I understand that you wanted to get it off your chest, but I am a little wary that if one pays too much attention to these pings they might turn into a kind of self fulfilling prophesy.

When I was in Keto my anxiety and these sharp moments of terror decreased significantly, actually so much that it became clear to me that they had to be somehow food-related, either by intake of the wrong foods themselves or by being more perceptible to weird influences from outside, and Keto acting as a shield.

I am not saying that premonitions don't exist, but a good diet weeds out all the false alarms ...

It's one thing to share premonitions, omens and negative feelings you may experience in a open and questioning way. It's another thing altogether to start a thread with a misleading subject line and begin with a statement of fact about a serious incident that didn't even happen.

Your scary feelings, however valid, may be due to any number causes including personal circumstances, brain chemistry, or picking up vibes from the recent shooting in Paris as Redfox mentioned.

I think you are putting too much faith in your internal impressions without questioning whether they are grounded in reality.

Indeed, and can be applied to your initial post.

lilies, I can't even count the number of times that people have sent me emails telling me that something bad must have happened, or was going to happen, where nothing had happened, nor did it. As MT pointed out above, quite often these "feelings" people get are due to bad dietary choices in and of themselves, OR their bad dietary choices make them susceptible to various kinds of negative waves in the environment. And, as Timotheos points out, there are all kinds of such waves out there.

I have noticed that I get cranky around the time of earthquakes and such and I can generally tell when the PTB have cranked up the power on their "messing with the mind" wave machines (whatever they are), but I've learned (mostly) to wait and observe, gather more data, and try to test/tune my sensations. Perhaps you should do the same instead of going all panicky?

Psyblog has a new article that would provide support for the anxiety-diet connection: _http://www.spring.org.uk/2015/01/the-unexpected-connection-between-gut-bacteria-and-depression-and-anxiety.php

The results showed that compared with a control group, those taking the prebiotic had a reduced tendency to pay attention to negative information, which is a key component of anxiety and depression.

Women who took the prebiotic also had lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which has been connected to anxiety and depression.

The positive influence of the prebiotic was similar to that obtained by taking existing anti-depressant or anti-anxiety drugs.

Maybe taking prebiotic supplements may help

This is a probiotic that I found over the summer. I like it because it doesn't need refrigeration and is made in Bulgaria (according to the packaging).

Being a chronic worrier I understand where you are coming from.

Not saying it's necessarily the case with you (or lillies) but if chronic anxiety is still present after a change of diet, this can sometimes be due to a lack of vitamin B6 and zinc.

That's why I wanted to post and process these lines of thinking- probably misinterpreted impulses - falling on old associative pathways and reroute the energy to more useful thinking and activity.

I'm aware of dramatic speaking ingrained in my childhood imprinted from my parents - as a result most of my life I was making elephants from fleas, I gave answers unnecessarily overemphasizing the danger factor IT loved, a completely delusional coloring, there was little risk or danger in those matters discussed and those I's [driving me] gleefully loved it, I glued that extra onto my answers - so having said that..

I still remember the tsunami event. It felt like a large chorus of screams hitting me - and probably a lot of people were hit far away from the catastrophe - it was like a physical wave of panic and mostly pain, as if multiple strikes by an invisible flaming bullwhip designed for torture, it was paralyzing.
