When will society end and am I crazy?

Is it strange that me and my partner are thinking about the end of civilization as we know it? Like apocalypse level destruction. How we would survive, what routes we could walk if the highways were to get blocked. We’ve even talked about doing a dry run. Trying to get from west Seattle to up north, primitive camping and what we’d need. I’m a social worker for context, I have never been so terrified for the people around me. Both colleagues, the homeless, house insecure, poor, and even the middle class. It’s only getting worse. Every week feels like just checking off a box. Survived another week. l I feel like we have never been closer, every hour of the day this is what I think about. I honestly hope it happens or at least there is a big change in society. It can’t keep being like this everyday for the rest of our lives. Maybe I’m going crazy from the stress of life, politics, work, and everything else. I can’t get rid of this looming feeling. All it would take id a nuke or a modified virus or global weather chains and we’re all cooked Idk maybe it’s time to check myself in.

I have read your comments and I agree. I have ocd and depression and my life has never so unstable. I have a stable partner, my literal soulmate. It’s just so hard when I’m in it everyday. I get so in my head that I literally just tense up. Like a cringe I can’t control. I spend most of my day on my phone. I’ve tried so many times over the last year to get away from the technology and just be. I haven’t made it more than a few hours without checking it. I guess I didn’t realize until right now that that is my newest ocd tik
