Are we ever going to be able to live in a time where we don't feel constant anxiety over the future? (hexbear.net)

The state of the world haunts the back of my mind every day. I can never push it out.

I can feel brief moments of joy, but I can't say I'm ever happy, not while the world is like this.

Maybe that very world is a dystopia where the U.S.'s iron grip is so solidified that it becomes clear that nothing can ever challenge it, so no one has any expectations that things "could" get better anymore. The same world where the unbreakable, invincible Israeli empire is established in the middle east and maybe beyond. Constant anxiety is replaced by a feeling of constant dread and sadness, as "U.S.-realism" or "colonial-realism" "genocide-realism" becomes the law of reality.

At that point, the only real option is to "escape" from this hellhole.

i don't really have anxiety for it but i'm just waiting around to die after my personal life fell apart years ago because i can't do anything about my personal problems let alone society or the world.

You can always do something about your personal problems. Trust me, I've been through addiction, years-long relationships falling apart, losing jobs I loved, friends dying, you name it. Life goes on and it can get better. I hope you find something that gives your life meaning, and I wish you the strength to continue on until you find it.
