Stop WW3 before it starts, I'm on the spectrum and it scares me to my bones

Stop WW3 before it starts, I'm on the spectrum and it scares me to my bones

World War 3 and nuclear war in particular are becoming highly likely, especially because of the potentially unlawful actions of certain countries (such as when Russia invaded Ukraine, and what china is going to do with Taiwan by 2027), if a nuclear war or similar event breaks out, it will lead to a living hell, so it should be stopped before it starts

I have been suffering from severe anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and have become sick, all because of in the news (especially in the apps like Apple News and several uk tabloids and news sites) highly likely going to be world war 3/nuclear war, I have seen "Threads" (1984) which at the time was produced with the input of scientists, doctors, and other experts, if war must happen, the government should distribute euthanasia kits to everyone in the country, so that nobody need suffer the horror of a post-nuclear attack world

  • The problem is that we are being spoon fed so much news in a small amount of time. Thanks to technology.

    Consuming all this news really upsets me and makes me fear my future.  Mum tells me to not keep going looking at it cause she notices the change in my moods whenever I have read something, like a nuclear war threat.

    I just want to stop reading it and be totally oblivious to everything that is going on at the moment to feel better.

    I should have also said in my other reply that I avoided the news for about a year and a half. If the radio was on then on the hour I was covering my ears and tapping my head with my fingers so I couldn't hear. Apparently it was the olympics last year, was it any good? I can watch/consume it again now ok. I think I've just convinced myself that things are probably going to be ok and if not then so what? I don't know how I've done it except that I think I had to go through the mental process of thinking about everything, searching for a solution, realising there wasn't one, and just accepting things.

    I completely understand how bad it feels. I lost months of that year in bed doing nothing, crying all the time.

    If I can figure it out then I think there's hope for everyone.
