Hi @Melon_Impala
Welcome to the forums, we are glad you have found us as you navigate this stressful time.
It sounds like these thoughts are very distressing for you. To be experiencing this anxiety for the last month must have left you feeling completely exhausted, it’s no wonder you are snapping at the people around you. I wonder if you have been able to open up to any of your friends or family about how you are feeling and the toll it is taking on you? You mention that you believe this fear is uncommon, however I believe many young people in particular have fears for the future, especially relating to climate anxiety and international conflict. Perhaps if you share a bit more with us around your specific fears you will find there are other community members who relate?
I hear that the anxiety and fear have been affecting your sleep, sleep deprivation can really take a toll on both our physical and mental health. Have you found any strategies that have worked to help ease the anxiety or improve your sleep? Here is an article on how to manage anxiety and one on getting a good night’s sleep that you may like to check out.
I am also concerned to hear you say you have constant thoughts of wanting to die. We will send you an email soon to check in with you, please keep an eye out for it.
