Sorry for the use of AIBU for what really belongs in mental health I suppose.
I just need some replies for some clarity.
For background, had a baby 18 months ago, been back to work since September. Have two kids, a stable marriage, a nice home, support from family. Am extremely fortunate and also grateful.
Have always been a bit of an anxious type but recently I feel this sense of doom, like what's the point of life and what will be the joy and happiness in my kids lives because of climate crisis, war, rising far right, cost of living etc.
I'm sorry if this is upsets anyone, or is inflammatory, I'm braced for some harsh comments - I just need to know if I'm depressed or if lots of people are feeling the same. I do try and stay away from media but it's everywhere.
The news about trump, forest fires, animals suffering, children dying in war. What is happening?! What can we do to make it better?
Just struggling to see the hope
