I wouldn’t say I feel depressed, but there’s an overarching feeling of claustrophobic suffocation that the confluence of current events is causing. It’s a feeling of foreboding. Some subconscious part of my brain is predicting a future that none of us wants to see. So depression? No. Fear? Definitely.



That's anxiety.

Anxiety is expecting a negative future / negative outcome.

An anxiety disorder is incorrectly assuming a negative future, often frequently and often.

If you're not regularly concerned about the future, then it's okay, it will go away. Though, maybe a therapist can help teach you ways to relax in the meantime? It's going to be two months before anything scary can happen, so that's a long time to be anxious. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
