I am anxious about the future (Also gonna add a trigger warning)

I know this fear is very stupid to have and the trigger warning was just in case. Again call me stupid and you want but I just want to share some of the stuff thats been on my mind lately. I have been very scared about the future lately. Sometimes it keeps me up at night. Will I die tomorrow? (Despite me being healthy). Will my parents die tomorrow? (My Dads heart stopped a couple of months ago when he was working). Will there be a third world war? (Ukraine war and other country tensions). Or will climate change get worse and we all die? Will AI take my dream job? Idk. I know some of these fears are stupid. Sometimes my heart beats rlly fast and I cant stop moving when thinking abt these.

@redBanana3767 Not stupid at all. Well, maybe the “will I die tomorrow” fear might be a bit on the unproductive side. Otherwise, all valid fears. For me, these fears come and go. I try to remind myself that there is very little I can do about these things. My fears don’t disappear as soon as I try to reason with them of course. But I try to focus on what I can do something about. I hope that helps.
