I'm just trying to come to terms with my trauma, can the world, I don't know, improve with me or something instead of getting worse?

If you share how you improve, others could join. That could grow until everybody is healed.
Question is, what do healthy people want? Do they want to live in peace or do they prefer to fight and to risk everything?
Si vis pacem...

one has anxiety as well

I don't want to heal, I want to guillotine some billionaires.
Guillotine and ice cream, a winning combination.

"healthy" people want to be lied to and be told everything will be ok so they can continue being selfish pricks. not because they are selfish pricks, but because our species is selfish pricks.

I've been thinking about it and Ilike stoning for this. Every person throwing a stone is deciding whether that person should suffer or die, and how much pain to inflict..

Our species is not that selfish. The selfishness is what is induced to make people “healthy”.
I am asking about healthy people. What do they want?

My biggest fear is climate change tbh, trump, facism, and capitalism are terrible, but the biggest threat to the future of humanity is climate change

The world's healing progresses much more slowly than the individual's. We have hundreds of years of colonialism and ecological devastation to heal from and that shit won't happen overnight. You are part of the world and your healing makes the world better. Focus on what you can do and do that. Trying to take responsibility for the whole mess will destroy you, it's out of your hands.

Right, and this is just one of those times where the scab was itchy so we scratched it off. We re-opened the gouge and are bleeding again. The question is whether the healing is still happening, with a little backtracking, or whether we’re exposing ourselves to gangrene

Sometimes you can be a little self-centered. While climate change is overwhelming, a huge catastrophe for society and humanity’s future, how much will it directly affect you? Most of us will really only see more of the same: more severe and unstable weather, modified seasons, times where food and power are more expensive. You can handle that.
Sometimes it’s ok not to think too much about the statistics telling the bigger story or the news detailing the more extreme effects. As long as you know they exist
What can you do about the things that directly affect you? What can you do about the things in your control?

The world is improving: https://ourworldindata.org/sdgs it's only the media focusing on conflict, gore and problems as that sells better and keeps people scared. Go on healing and follow your path!
Thanks for the attempt, but all I see are “the 17 sustainable development goals” where the Trump administration wants to take us backwards
Hopefully I’m just being us-centric and I understand our current issues may be partly obscured by long term trends and global statistics. However we also have an outsized effect on the world and those are some of the first places cut or corrupted, changed from achievements to points of instigation

This was beautifully stated. Thank you for your wholesome response, VampirePenguin.

I see what you did there - and that was beautiful.
Roll for initiative!

I chose cheerful nihilism a long time ago.

Well, that was more bleak and depressing than the post.
Also, hard disagree. Not everything is lost.
I mean, let's hope you're right. But we're about to enter WWIII if it hasn't already started as well as the next mass extinction event while our leaders do everything possible to spur both on. It's not exactly compellingly hopeful times.

This is unhelpful.
Sorry, I didn't know not agreeing was required for this post.

I, for one, feel a lot less crazy now that people are seeing what I have been seeing for a long time. I hear about it more even from old folks, my in laws now ask more questions as do my own parents. That gives me a lot of hope. Change is inevitable.

What do you think healing looks like, if not that?
