world ending 2012?????

my friend was watching a show the other day. it was about ( i forget his name) the guy that predicted 9-11 and huricane katrina. he also predicted that the world was going to come to an end in the year 2012.. ever since she told me this i have been having anxiety feelings and lots of irrational thoughts. i really hope that it isnt true, im only 21 my life has just begun i dont want it to end in 2 years. does anyone have any opinions on the situation?? does anyone else believe it will happen???

Are you a Christian? If you are, you should know better about worrying about 2012. In the bible it states only god knows when the world will end. Not man.

We may be able to tell that the end times are getting closer... But, at the same time that's still VERY hard. And we shouldn't be here on earth worrying about it.

People have predicting the end times for a very very long time. And trust me... If I were alive during Hitler... I would have believed he was the anti Christ and the world was coming to an end.

Bit people want me to believe that Obama is the Antichrist. LOL.

Look... When the world is about to end you will know bc he Antichrist will reveal himself to the world. Then Jesus will come back for us. Now... Do you think Satan is going to male it THAT easy for us to spot him? No way! We will all be fooled.

Quit worrying about it. Read your bible and it will make you feel better about it. :)

Nikki,

Hello, I too have had extreme anxiety the past 1 1/2.  I have had more medical test done, and all are normal.  I know I am a bit older, but still trying to understand how I developed this.  I have spoke with a few counselors and got no relief at all, I felt as if I knew more then they did.  How did you find a good competent counselor?  Appreciate any advice.

Hello, I feel your pain. I have extreme health anxiety as a result of dying. I freak myself out about anything that happens. I was in counseling and it was helping as I don't do very well on meds from the side effects. I really work hard at keeping healthy as I used to abuse my body by smoking, and drinking and eating very poorly. I have quit all of that and I found that it has really helped. If you do well on meds you should try it, if not really try and get counseling. It will take some time but it is well worth it. Just make sure you find someone that you are truly comfortable with. DO NOT SETTLE!!! Hope you feel better.....

Rubbish talk. It was based on the Mayan calender. The way their calenders worked was that every so many years a new cycle would begin. Thus the end of their world. And if you hear Nostrdamus predicted it too, he didn't. The Mayan's have had many ends of the world before this one. But you will still get some people placing bets that it is true. Work that one out. Place a bet the world will end? Intelligent.

thanks for your replies. it is hard to just not worry about things like this but i guess you are right there is nothing i can do to change the fate of the world lol...

as for you flob!
i do agree with you. it does make me feel a little better knowing that we are all going to go at the same time. (even if its not truely going to happen). i never really did understand the whole thing between the calanders. hmm i guess i better read something on that and try to figure it out better!!!

thanks all again for your replies!

no...see the world was already supposed to end in the year 2000. and prior to that, it was supposed to have ended when the jews returned to israel.

there are a lot of very interesting things happening in 2012...it's year we will align perfectly with the center of the galaxy and some suspect that will cause all sorts of issues...possibly be the reason for the changing of the poles, as has happened in the past. the mayans were probably the most astronomically advanced out of the ancient civilizations and their calender ends on december 21st of 2012...the day of the galactic alignment.

i could go on and on...it's all very interesting stuff. the simple fact of the matter is that this doesn't mean the world will end. whether you believe in a higher power or not...i doubt very much that the day the world would end was decided so long ago. their calender ends with the galactic alignment...but should their civilization have survived in all it's glory to modern day, perhaps they would have said that on december 21'st, 2012 their calender merely resets like our own does every year. there is quite a lot of missing info on what exactly parts of their calender even mean.

if the world were to actually end on that date (however unlikely it may be)...i personally would take comfort in the fact that my death day would occur on a day where 6 billion other people will be sharing my experience...and none of them will be wanting to go either. sounds pretty morbid...but honestly, isn't it slightly comforting that we can all be scared together if it were really the end? or maybe i'm just wierd. i don't know.

I caught myself worrying about it as well. But really, what can you do? That's how I get the thought of the world ending in 2012 out of my head. I also don't believe it, but that's another topic.
