how do you deal with uncertainty?

[takoluka]

especially when we can no longer afford even the simplest things, and war is looming over us, how are we meant to continue on like everything's normal? sometimes i wonder if the end of the world is really near, and that brings me comfort.

Dont like it I try to be calm and collected but im just panicking inside

I deleted all social media a few years ago and don't watch or tune into the news, figure if something is urgent I'll hear about it anyway. I know some people feel a responsibility to be involved and updated, but if it's destroying you then might be time to reconsider for your own health.

No matter what is going on globally, life still operates around cause and effect and, life requires a great deal of unkeep. I know that I don't want to experience destitution or homelessness so- I need to maintain the basics to prevent that.

Put another way- it feels too risky/ foolish to me to assume that the world will end shortly so- why bother doing anything? attitude. Because- it may well not. In which case- I could absolutely end up making things far more difficult for myself.

That said, I'm far less proactive than I used to be. Now- it's more of a- do the minimum I can get away with.

The best way to deal with uncertainty is familiarise yourself with it. Rather than trying to come up with solidified solutions that negate it. Almost nothing in life is guaranteed.

I cope knowing that at the end of the day I have a safty net to fall back on. Ctb. So I always have certainty regardless of what they do to me

This is a great post.

I deal with uncertainty by not keeping my hopes up too much.

If something happens, great but I don't set my expectations too high for my medical condition or something I'm looking forward to.

My future is highly uncertain, I know I will be getting disability benefits but living a full, productive life with what I experience will be very difficult.

I will also state that apathy can be an excellent tool and could ease the worry of feeling uncertainty.
