I’m worried for the world. All I’ve been thinking about is WW3 and this shit makes me want to vomit. I can’t even smoke weed anymore without having a near panic attack. I feel unmotivated. I wake up and immediately just want to go back to bed. I’m not trying to spread fear but the Doomsday clock is 90 seconds till midnight, during the Cuban missile crisis, it was 7 minutes before midnight. Can we just have one day of fucking peace? Can everyone just stop for one day and enjoy one day of peace?
Do yourself a favor and disconnect from news feeds, notifications and social media for 2 weeks and see how you feel.
Edit: also take a break from Lemmy. I swear I think the doomsaying here is worse than Reddit.
These daily doom saying threads on this website are pathetic. No more weed for you friend. Time to turn off the news and touch some grass.

Ignorance is bliss. Weed is pretty good, too.
I’ve been here before and I literally solved it by forest walking
We’re all fucked regardless so learn mindfulness and enjoy every fleeting moment
Forests are being chopped up for investment properties
And mining
I’m more worried about global warming, personally.

Humans are amazing, I know it’s cool to be edgy but we’re doing great and looking good doing it.

I’d suggest getting therapy. Perhaps explore anxiety medication. Having anxiety over conflict across the world that you have no control over and have little effect on you is not healthy.
Getting high is not effective self-medication.

Look I’m not saying you’re wrong in your assessment of global affairs, but believe me when I say that there is more to life than that. I’d advise you to spend some time each day looking at the world at a different scale than that, for example the life of insects, or the world of classical music or mathematics. Perhaps pick up an interest from your childhood. We’re not dead yet! It may also be advisable to see a doctor and tell them about your wanting to spend all your time in bed and your panic attacks while smoking. Hope you feel better.
Sounds like you need to lay down the weed and touch some grass bro
