@eniko always. Although I’ve started calling it grief and not anxiety for a few reasons.

@eniko How about anxiety in general? Does that count? I mean the climate is part of that anxiety.

@eniko Yep. Between the heatwaves, the fires, the fact that things will only become more severe, and the bunch of people still denying that any of this is happening, abso-fucking-lutely.

@eniko Yeah. Ocean temperature, antarctic ice, wet bulb temperature, hottest days in like 100,000 years, and petro-corporations are still drilling for more.

I don't know how we're going to survive. I don't want whole cities to have to die from wet bulb events before things start to change. But also, even when fossil fuels are finally stopped a lot of heating is already inevitable. It takes a human lifetime for the carbon to leave the atmosphere.

I'm scared that the world is going to fall apart. I'm scared that I won't be able to get the meds I need to live. I'm scared that when food becomes scarce I'll be left to starve because I'm a middle aged autistic trans woman.

@eniko I have a lot of anxiety, and this one is about 80% of my total anxiety levels, which is very, very bad.

@eniko if by “dealing with” you mean “not dealing with”, then yes, I guess.

@eniko Through it and out the other side. I already Did All The Things and can only watch events unfold now it's become a mainstream concern.

@eniko My view of the future is bleak. It's not just mere anxiety; it is despair.

@eniko it keeps getting worse

@eniko less anxious and more just a dreadful feeling of defeat
Show threadSentry23Jul 25, 2023
@eniko hearing so many extreme events from friends across europe.. yeah.
Also I cannot read anything of it on 'old' social media anymore, with so many comments pretending that the weather has always been like this.

@eniko I literally had trouble sleeping the other night, as my mind was stuck in a loop thinking about global warming and what passing tipping points means for the life of my children

@eniko Yeah I think so. I also just hate summer in general, and it's of course really awful hot out right now. Which is exacerbated by climate change.

@eniko Not aided by it being interwoven directly with pandemic anxiety. :/
