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

    I still feel optimism, but right now it is drowned by my eco-anxiety and regrets.

    It feels exactly the same as when intrusive thoughts about what if one of my child has a serious illness or injury. We can only do so much and hope for the best.

    But the feeling is really hard to shake off.
