    Yes constantly. I use to read way too much climate science and news and it really screwed with my brain for months and months. I care deeply about climate but I just can't look at it anymore, it's just too depressing. Even still, it pops into my head, especially right before I go to sleep too. It's rough but I've come to terms with it as best as I can. What I can't get over though is imaging how bad the climate is going to be in like 20 years but that just makes me cherish what we got for now I suppose.

    Also related but, I use to try to talk about eco-socialism a lot on r/collapse because of how many doomers there were and how anti-capitalist a lot of the sentiments were. I put in a couple years of work posting there almost everyday or so and I think it helped some people, but I had to block the sub because it was a net loss for my own happiness. I'd just randomly start crying occasionally thinking about all that shit combined and how shitty my job is. I still have those sentiments but blocking places like that eventually helped a lot in the long run. It's brutal though
