Everyone keeps saying that we are headed towards the next Great Depression. 

I’m seeing all sorts of people gathering supplies - non perishable foods, medical supplies, hygiene items. 

I have always struggled with anxiety, but not knowing how the economy works &amp; hearing these things is making it so much worse. 

This increased anxiety about the world is affecting my relationship, my ability to work, my friendships. 

I feel like I’m in this huge rabbit hole. I’ve been constantly doing research on how to not starve or die if the worse case scenario happens. My partner thinks i’m overreacting. 

The problem is, I don’t know if I am! 

Can someone who actually understands the economy explain to me what’s likely to happen? 

I feel like my anxiety might level out a bit if I understood this more, even if the truth isn’t great. I’d rather be prepared and informed than not. 

I have a pricey concert I’m seeing in July. 

It’s my all time favorite band but I’m considering canceling to save money so I can prepare for possible starvation. 

Am I going crazy? Is this just my anxiety talking or am I right for being scared?
