I'm struggling with the same type of thoughts and feel suicidal every day now. Every headline I read is another reason I dont want to live anymore. You're not going crazy, the world is. I know it might seem counter productive to not stay in the loop of things, but I try to take a break from all social media and news every once in awhile to keep my sanity. I love lemmy and the progressive ideas that are shared on here on a daily basis, but the news you read can make you feel powerless and over these big societal issues that don't have an immediate solution.

I really hope you feel better soon, your hearts in the right place. The fediverse is the only real place where I can reliably find empathic people looking out for one another. I wish I could have offered more sound advice as I can barely keep it together myself too, but make sure you have people you can talk about this in your life. Unfortunately I can't afford meds or therapy so I've been depending on my friends and family to help keep me sane. Stay safe!

This is beautiful, the wave of dread has past, at least for now. It is tough to keep sane, but it is important to remember there are empathic people out there who care, who try, and even folks who we can rely on for our support systems. I hope you are feeling okay too, stay strong dear
