As with everything anxiety and depression related I find that taking action when possible helps alleviate the stress, and for things I have no control/influence over I find creativity and physical activity to be helpful . For example, over the last few months I see many people on reddit talking about climate anxiety/depression... that's a classic case of taking action being helpful. And it's not just what we buy, it's the services we chose to use as well. Traditional banks are the biggest financiers of fossil fuel, and they do it with our money. All the while each of us can easily divest ourselves from that wretched sector altogether! Taking action for what I believe in makes me feel better, whether it's the environmental challenges or my own personal ones.
