You won't ever find any blackpills on my page. This isn't nece | Family Matters

You won't ever find any blackpills on my page. This isn't necessarily Homemaking advice but it is good advice especially for women. We are more sensitive and it can affect us more on an emotional and mental level to doom scroll all day. I used to do this, I spent 18 months drowning in blackpills, doomsday news, etc all here on Telegram. It infected my mental and emotional peace and filled me with so much fear and anxiety that it spread through the rest of the home.

If you are the homemaker, you are the one who sets the emotional tone in the home for the entire family. Your mental and emotional well being is crucial for your entire family's well being. Your children will pick up on your agitation and may even begin acting out because they feel your anxiety and emotional withdrawal. Instead of being able to give comfort to your husband, you may end up bombarding him with illogical worries about things that may never even happen that truly don't ever deserve your time or attention. This may add more to his plate. Although he loves you and surely wants to reassure you, it can be demoralizing to come home to over a consistent stretch, especially if it's over speculation on the internet about things out of your control. But you CAN control seeing it. Ignore blackpills and put your faith in God, not any human.

Additionally, getting hooked into the fear and blackpills can be addicting. I've seen plenty of people get sucked in and go off the deep end and sadly I was one of them for a while too. I've seen people lose their grip on reality over time just in chat rooms here. This is by design - these folks are essentially neutralized by dark forces who want us ruled by fear. All that emotional energy and TIME being squandered that could have been spent making the home a happier place to be, investing in your children, working on a hobby, or lifting up your spouse.

Do yourself a favor and just leave or archive the content that gives you a sense of dread. I recently did this and only follow funny or positive content now. I still keep my finger on current events but I severely limit the time and quantity of said news and try to pay attention to the emotional reaction I'm getting.

Remember, that there are forces in the world that want you to live in fear. Know when to tune out those messages and learn to recognize when they do not serve you. Don't just do it for your own peace of mind, do it for your family too.

(Thanks to my husband for reminding me of this over and over again during my blackpill period. It clicked eventually, it just took a lot of patience. )
