Her sense of duty to campaigning fuelled her anxiety.

I stopped banal things like posting travel albums on my social media accounts because I was fearful of unintentionally inspiring younger people into thinking a jet-setter lifestyle full of flight carbon was a legitimate life goal. As a female with mild anemia I was afraid to stop eating meat, but more terrified of the consequences if I didn’t.

Having grown up as part of a mall-going culture, I was now also refusing to visit these commercial centers as regularly as I had in the past. I gave up free air conditioning in year-long summer seasons, all for the fear of being mind-tricked into the latest fast fashion purchase.I hated watching the news on the latest extreme weather event, but rolled my eyes when I came upon one that didn’t mention climate change.

I have sobbed countless times after delivering climate change presentations over the past eight years. I once burst into tears because of a post-grad report about how the Syrian war was essentially climate-induced, to the horror of my colleagues. As with regular anxiety, people are said to deal with climate anxiety in different ways. I deal with mine by moving forward.Joining protest rallies and making picket signs for climate change campaigns were not effective enough, so I found myself working in proactive climate policy.I then convinced my own family to inadvertently support the clean energy revolution I was always rooting for and convert to flexitarianism with me.
