Climate anxiety (eco-anxiety)

You read the climate news and feel powerlessness, anger, guilt or fear for the future. You may wonder whether it's worth dreaming or having children. Climate anxiety is a rational reaction to a real problem, and it can become more manageable.

What it looks like

Intense worry about the climate crisis, a sense of powerlessness, guilt about your own «impact», anger at those who don't act, and sometimes a paralysis or despair about the future.

You're not overreacting

Climate anxiety isn't a «phobia» in the classic sense, because the danger is real. The aim isn't to stop caring, but to keep the dread from paralysing you.
