Physiological part of Z-DAY:
Jun 14 2012, 4:04 AM EDT
I see everyone's thread talking about "what armor do you have" "what melee weapons do you have" "how do I make armor?" "is this ganna be air born?" all sorts of great questions, but look at the physiological part of this! At first where all ganna be like, "what In The F***? Let's blow some heads off!" but after the apocalyptic side effect kicks in and we realize that all hope is lost where ganna breack down! And where ganna spaze and start freaking out! It happens! And it's life! Think of your routine in the mourning... All of the things we use today are all done by electricity that we wont have when the apocalypse comes! And where ganna lose it.... I know I am... But I don't know.... Leave your thoughts in the comments! Do you find this valuable?

This is why we prep, so we are ready when the SHTF. No doubt there will be an adjustment period but like you said that's life, get yourself prepared for the worst and when it goes down you'll be all the better for it.

I don't really think I'm going to lose it. I'll want to, but I have a wife and my 4 dogs depending on me. I can't really afford to lose it. Don't get me wrong, I'll be devastated if I never saw my little sister and my parents again, but crying all day and screaming at the top of my lungs isn't going to do a damn thing.And I know 100.00% for a fact that if I did do something like that my dad would knock the sh*t out of me and tell me to man the f*ck up and get my sh*t together. 2 out of 2 found this valuable.

Pretty much what SlowRide said. We already know things are going to be different, that's the whole reason why we prepare. That doesn't mean we're not going to be affected mentally or emotionally, but our preparations will help us get through it better than others.

The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.Preparation, conviction of a survivalist, how much you can turn off, and healthy amounts of ego and confidence help mitigate physiological degradation. However, everyone has their limits. Do you find this valuable? |

I think that the older you are the less all of this is going to effect you. The younger generation is so absorbed into electronics and gizmos that they will be more likely to go crazy IMO. Wealthy people who rely on others to do everything for them will also be lost especially when greenbacks and plastic doesn't buy things anymore. 3 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you? |

While I pick on the "gadget and gizmos" of the "younger generations" as much as anyone, and I do think some rich people will be screwed, I also think the generalizations you just made are miscalculated. Many of the younger generations are not like you think, and many of the wealthy actually have some valuable skills and can do things for themselves. Personally, I'm not as effected by drastic life changes. I've faced a lot of ****, and it's not that I don't care or that I'm "desensitised" or a sociopath, but the thing is, I have a tendency to keep (or at least appear) calm, or at least calm enough to function even if I am nervous. If the nuclear sludge hits the fan, people will be "losing it" from some on day one to some on year eight of the bad times, but the fact is, that's life, as some said above, and we either deal or die. Bad stuff happened before, bad stuff is happening now, and bad stuff will happen. Some people "lose it" in some situations, others in other situations, and some people just keep going until something takes them out. From what I've seen of myself, I tend to regain my cool when the sh*t happens. Deciding what to eat, I'm nervous as hell, but when serious things are going on, I know I have to keep my head on straight, and I usually just. . . do, instinctively. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

I might loosed it if I have to read another post the mis-spells vernaclar mis-spelling (going, gonna, ganna). Other than that, there is an adjustment period. When I gave up phones, it took a few weeks to realize that I didn't need to check the machine for messages. When I gave up gas heat and AC, it took a few weeks to adjust and still takes a few days to reajust each season. 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

""Wealthy people who rely on others to do everything for them will also be lost especially when greenbacks and plastic doesn't buy things anymore.""I would say most of the wealthy fall under this category. A small paranoid percentage will be OK until something major fails in their hardened mansions, fallout shelters, panic rooms, or if they are displaced. The rest of the very minute percentage are true survivalist. Do you find this valuable? |

"I think that the older you are the less all of this is going to effect you.This. Plus the fact that we will be focused on staying alive will keep some of the emotional impact at bay. Will there be some tough times to cope with? Sure. Will it knock me down when the apoc didn't? Oh hell no! Do you find this valuable? |

A good buddy of mine and I actually had a discussion a few weeks back about something like this. His opinion went something like this..."If everything goes to he11 I am going to take my Glock and call it quits." (his words i sh!t you not...) "I do not want to live in a world without a McDonalds." :-O What..... Being the survivalist I am I quickly grieved the hypothetical loss of my friend and after I quickly celebrated the hypothetical gain of a new Glock 23 :D 3 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

It's not like people would have a choice. Either you deal with it or you freak out and die. @vampirejediknight - What age group of the younger generation exactly is too dependent on technology? Those born after 1990? Those born after 1970? Usually the young adjust quickly. I wouldn't write people off just for being young. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Meh, age only comes into factor at extremes. 90 days old and 90 years old are going to be a bit more dependent. And I think the wealthy being overly dependent is more on how they came into wealth. Having it given to them fosters that false sense of entitlement. Transitioning from having it provided to having to work for it will definitely be a major hurdle. I'll admit I was brought up in a wealthy family. My dad was born in Korea though and lived in extreme poverty (trapping rats for soup). He built up and sold lots of government contracting companies and is now in politics. Growing up though, he told me "You won't understand it now, but you don't deserve a single thing you have. None of it. The only reason you have anything is because I love you and let you have it. You've done nothing to earn it". Kind of hurt at first, but I eventually got the message, and he was right. I see him as a survivor and I'm not above getting my hands and feet dirty. 4 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you? |
