My biggest trigger right now is thinking about the apocalypse

...See more Hey guys, my name is Liz, and I'm pretty new here. I was just wondering if anyone has any advice or reassurance for getting past severe anxiety about the end of the world?? I don't get anxious about fictional apocalypses (like those in Fallout or the Walking Dead), end times prophecies, or unpredictable things like asteroid strikes. Instead, I get extremely anxious when people talk about the effects of climate change, or how much plastic there is in the ocean. It makes me feel hopeless and fills me with a sense of doom. I do what I can as a young broke person to minimize my impact on the environment, and I even work as an ecologist, but I know that most of the problems in the world are simply things that I have no control over beyond voting for the right people and sending little donations when I can. I know concern about the world is reasonable, but sometimes anxiety that the world might actually end overwhelms me. If you have any reassurance, or advice for how to stop thinking about this as much, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
