Hello,

I have two young kids and lately, I am having a lot of anxiety and sadness thinking about how the current climate crisis will affect them.

I also have regrets because I decided to have children while knowing about the climate crisis. At the time, I was optimistic, but no so much anymore.

It has been hitting me hard the last few days. How do you cope/deal with this as a parent?

Thanks

Letting go is the hard part. When I am feeling good, it is a lot easier. But my mental health has been rough lately.

Fair. I've always been able to compartmentalize well, but my brain is pudding.
