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?

I feel you, more than you know. If you aren't on an SSRI, i can't recommend seeking a doctor that will prescribe you one, I had to quit smoking myself because I had a panic attack that sent me to the ER before I was medicated, qnd havent started back since cause the antidepressant works so well. Really hope you can get your shit sussed out, i was spiraling just as hard if not harder than you before I decided to seek medical help for my mental issues. You dont need to completely disconnect from the internet and news like everyone is saying, just get your mental health to a level where you can deal with how heavy shit is getting lately.
