Anxiety Control by Ethan Parker ebook is something everyone should look into. I followed their methods, and the shift in my awareness has been profound. My intuition is sharper, and Iโ€™m experiencing lucid dreaming like never before.

What burns for me is that when I reach out to friends and family, and do not even get an effing response. I've had to tap in to my faith and resilience in ways that no one else should have to. I love you, Mel, your work and your community! Thank you for all you do! e

Horizonlessness....exactly how I feel in my life. I cried several times as I listened to this episode. I feel like grief fits into all of these topics.

Mel, this was super helpful for me. I retired at 51 at the end of 2019, Covid hit early 2020, I had a terrible family betrayal in 2022, I was diagnosed with Leukemia in June 2023. The stress of it all was overwhelming! Itโ€™s January 20, 2025, I am still fighting Leukemia, but doing much better. Thanks Tyler

I feel meh + anger because everything seems so overwhelming. I have been in fight or flight mode the majority of my life.

I'm stressed as soon as I wake up. I have been like this since childhood. I don't know how to visualize the future without it being apart from anything that could be real. I thought I was crazy, but I think I've been trying to keep myself functioning.

I can definitely relate to all of this minus the parent/caregiver component. I've always been an introvert and as an adult, I'm finding it even more difficult to make friends. I talk to random people on social media but I find whenever I try to actually meet up no one seems to have the time or interest. It's extremely frustrating. I've tried connecting with people from my past with the same results. Genuine social connections are hard to find. Horizonlessness is so very real and I am glad that there's a real scientific explanation now for this feeling that many of us have been experiencing since the pandemic. It's a struggle to get up and go every day but we must persist as difficult as it is. I find that making lists is extremely helpful to keep me busy and to help with achieving day-to-day goals. Anyway, it's always comforting to know that we are never truly alone in our feelings.

As a senior adult that lives alone and works 2 jobs to make ends meet, I feel this so much! Thank you for sharing this. I have been in the state most of this winter of moments coming out because of my kids visits or other specific things that snapped me out. I find myself throwing everything into work in order not to feel this vast emptiness.

I woke up this morning feeling a kind of loss, like I didn't have any new horizon. I am a almost 70 years old lady, I've been working my whole life, recently in Dic I had to close a bakery shop which I built with lots of illusion, just one year ago. Now, I feel exactly as you describe, no emotions, not exacting about my future, not knowing what comes next, but the worst feeling, is that one of no having excitment about anything I've planned to do. So all your advices have come to the nail! Thanks so much Mel! ๐Ÿ’

Caring about others, talking to them is pure selflessness, and solves all loneliness.
