Yeah, I don't actively engage in that and try to avoid it, but pathologically I tend to get lost in doubt and dread. This occasionally spirals me in the direction of doom, with or without doing Google searches on climate change.
Admittedly it's a much less of an issue since I stopped using Reddit so that's probably got something to do with it. Beehaw has been a godsend.
imo the most productive way to deal with the inherent anxiety is just to do something or be engaged in something, however small--being in an organization you can devote even a few hours to a month is usually a godsend in this regard, whether that's DSA or Sunrise or Food Not Bombs, or a non-American equivalent to these groups. it's so, so much harder to default to assuming nothing will get better if you surround yourself with people and groups fighting to make things better
❤️ Thank you! I'll renew my efforts there. I'd gotten involved and then uninvolved. That probably has a lot to do with it.
I appreciate you.
