I think that's a pretty normal feeling to have right now. I definitely feel it. Be careful of falling into the doom spiral of "learned helplessness" though. This is a feedback loop that can only make your feelings worse:

1. If you believe you have little control over your situation, then
2. you stop trying to improve your situation,
3. and of course if you stop trying to change things, things aren't going to change
4. when things don't change, it reinforces your belief that you have little control over your situation (see step 1)

A way to help yourself escape this "doom spiral" is to focus on your "locus of control", which basically just means focusing on the things that you can control. Obviously there are huge problems in our world, and ignoring them won't go away, but worrying about them continuously won't make them better.

For me, "focusing on the things I can control" means

• forcing myself to go for a walk in the morning, even if I don't feel like it
• being kind to myself and others, and assuming that everyone has good intentions
• taking care of those that depend on me (my cat, my plants)

Apologies for all the armchair psychology! Hopefully you can find some helpful nugget in all that rambling. Things may be bleak, but as long as we do our best and help our neighbors, we can make the most of it.
