I made this comment in another thread but I want more of your eyeballs on it, maybe somebody has something useful to say.

I have some serious anxiety about the fact that modern civilization is all of us in a bus driving towards a cliff, with the driver’s foot firmly on the accelerator pedal. Therapy is available to me, but what the fuck are they gonna say? Tune out?

    I've had a couple different existential crises throughout my life, and I'm in therapy now. The falling apart of everything around us and the grim outlook is a constant conversation. It helps to find a socialist therapist, I got pretty lucky with that.

    Regardless, with my previous crises it was all about just living to the next day, and trusting that you're gonna find a way to deal with it better. And usually you do, you just need to give yourself time and find someone to bounce your thoughts off of.

    Not to say you shouldn't look into medication if you feel that might be right for you. There's no reason to put yourself through hell when your brain is making it near impossible for you to be ok, especially when medication might fix that.
