Nervous about the state of the world
I’m not as much as a nervous wreck as I was last night. I’ve slightly calmed down. But I’m still so scared hearing about the planet warming past the 1.5 C threshold. I’m also sure you’re heard about the ai whistleblower claiming that ai will kill us all by 2030.
I am suffering from an array of mental illnesses and I am just healing from a weeks long nervous breakdown. The way that I felt when I had my first nervous breakdown, I recognized when I was hearing all of this news last night and I had to act early to calm myself down. My therapist told me to try avoiding news like that for a while and we’ll talk more about it today but… I can’t help it. When I get like this, I desperately look for answers.
I do not believe that we’re all doomed. I believe that we can heal from this. But I feel like the people who caused this/have the power to slow down climate change don’t want to do so. I’ve been trying to research what I can do to play my part but I still feel helpless.
I just want some good news. Just some news saying that “Yes, things are bad. Very bad. But it’s fixable. You still have a future. We still have a future. We can cool down this earth. Have hope.”
I have hope for now. But I feel so hopeless
