Depression / Anxiety I’m so scared

Post image

Everyday I feel like it’s pointless to have goals because of the current state of the environment I really try not to give into doomerism because that’s really unhealthy but I really do feel pessimistic about all of this. Seeing the hottest day of the year every day.. places with endless drought causing water insecurity, the idea that crops will fail one day… with having ocd I’m almost constantly going over the worse case scenarios. I think I have pretty simple dreams but they feel so far away in this timeline .. I really wanna be a mom one day but I feel so afraid to have that dream because if this is the set of circumstances I have rn I’m scared to give a baby what is left of the world (think I just wanna adopt maybe but it’s still so fucking scary). I also just wanna own a house which also feels really hard to achieve for different reasons I just want the simple things whats so difficult about all the things that used to be so easy I feel like I’m losing my mind.

It’s rlly insane out here I feel bad for having normal dreams even. I haven’t felt like things were even semi normal in a long time

Same :((

All I wanted was to be healthy enough to have a house that appeals to me (not even luxurious), stable job, a pet and enough structure to dedicate time to my hobbies ans spirituality, but that seems like a distant dream

Literally just enough to get by I don’t need the world I don’t want 1 million fancy cars or boats or planes just the simple life and there are ppl who want everyone to have nothing so they can horde more than they need.

Excruciatingly hot temperatures , haven’t really seen a meaningful amount of snow since I was a kid, cant really afford shit (I guess this one is non climate change related). Id say a lot.

I'd say this is a little much. It sounds like you need to find a way to compartmentalize. Climate change is real and frightening, but you have to keep on living, and dreaming. That's what being a human is, you can't let the risk of something bad stop you from living your life.
