Future Uncertainty

Hi,

I wanted to share this with you because perspective is important

I'm currently seeking to further therapy to help me deal better with my cronic PTSD. Which has come close to ruin my life and now I finally found the motivation and courage to seek help. So that's good.

Also, I was thinking, once I feel better and I can operate in the world in a more adequate manner I'd like to get properly educated. I'd like to study psychology, I field that is of interest and that would allow me to effectively help people.

As I was looking into the students programs, and when to get enrolled and all that it dawned on me, this Massive uncertainty. I live in Europe, I have access to enough money to pay for my studies and stay fed, but then this world is collapsing. So I don't know if it makes sense to enroll in a four-year program to study psychology when there's more pressing matters that I have close to no ability to tackle, like the climate chaos, draughts, floods, the price of everything rising to the ceiling, from food to electricity to building materials... Everything. And I assume things will just get worse, more expensive, less available. The refugee crisis. Climate chaos induced massive migrations, world hunger on the rise, people dyng of starvation by the millions... major wars...

And I doubt... I hesitate. But after all, even with total collapse, the knowledge I will acquire will be useful, right?

Am I too narrow minded?

Do you struggle with similar fears?
