Scared for the future..

[pinkdot]

I don't know if I'm losing my sanity or what but this year has really made me think about the future. Climate crisis, what's happening in Afghanistan and AI robots (wish I never watched iRobot). I can't sleep at night thinking about what kind of future my children will have. They are 2 years old and 7 months old and it is genuinely terrifying for me. I've barely left the house since little one was born because of covid. I worked on the frontline the year before.

I can't watch the news because it makes me so anxious. I've deleted all news and most social media apps because I just don't want to/can't hear all the awful things going on in the world. I'm so sad thinking about it and I just don't know what to do? Is this normal? Feel like I'm losing the plot.

I can definitely share some of your concerns. I was always concerned about the environment but its stepped up a whole new level since having my son, and I'm terrified of climate change as he will really feel the effects.

The news is just awful at the moment, I've had to stop watching it too. It feels like we are fast heading to some type of collapse but I'm sure we are not the only generation to feel this way.

A lot of people are feeling the same way. Something is definitely going on. Strange times we are living in!
