      Is there like some middle ground. Like I want to be prepared for what could happen, but don’t want it to control me where I don’t do anything. Kind of struggling with that right now, to be honest.

        That’s just called being normal

        Like, I’m aware that the world is fucked. I can’t really change that, though I can do my part.

        And the world is not irreparably fucked. Just probably irreparably fucked during my lifetime.

        We’ll get it together eventually.

        But the point is, why stress, it doesn’t help anything. Don’t worry about it. Either take action or don’t.

        Well, I can’t speak to a middle ground, but I can say that my anxiety is at its worst when I stall. If I examine what gives me anxiety and take steps to prepare for it, that alleviates the panic.

        I don’t know what eats away at you so I can’t give you the perfect guide. Only you can say what causes you anxiety, and only you can prepare yourself for it.
