Looking For My Doctor

I do not remember “literally every website in existence” being close to being shut down because of SOPA/PIPA. I remember the minor changes that had to be made to be compliant with the various laws that resulted when they were finally enacted.
There were a specific details of SOPA/PIPA that I was worried about, so I did something about it; for example I made some appointments and then drove the 2 hours to get to my state capital and talked to legislators (multiple times), and phoned my federal legislators and talked to their representatives, and wrote letters to people who I thought had something to say about all of it, and donated to organizations that I thought had a pretty good idea how to fix the situation.
In other words, I didn’t JUST worry. I was worried so I DID something about it. But I’m an optimistic nihilist. So even if literally every website in existence was being close to being shut down that would look like an opportunity for me.
You seem to be practicing chronic worry, or chronic anxiety. Maybe you’re different in other situations or on other social media, but here you complain constantly, foretelling the immanent doom of things that you think are important to you, and seeing anyone who isn’t panicking or who disagrees with you as an enemy seems to be how you respond to being concerned about something. And then months later when the thing you foretold does not happen, you still use your earlier paranoia as proof that you are right.
For example, two months ago you said this site would be gone. You also worried that by 2020 all fansites all over the planet would be gone.
It’s been two months, and this site is still here. It’s 2020, and social media still exists, as do fan sites.
But despite your most extreme predictions never coming true, you keep saying that Every bad thing I predict always comes true.
You think your paranoid delusions of impending doom are more accurate and true about things like whether Derpibooru is going to be shut down than statements to the contrary from the people actually responsible for keeping Derpibooru running.
And even though there is no plausible connection between yourself and what is happening in other countries, you remain convinced that everything that happens to everyone else has a direct, dramatic, and catastrophic affect on you.
This is how your brain works. And you keep practicing this, making your anxiety and paranoia stronger and stronger in a feedback loop that ensures that everything will keep getting worse, and more dire.
If you won’t see a professional perhaps practicing gratitude will help you. Here’s a video from Kurzgesagt that talks about how to use gratitude as a practice to help you be happier, and to help with your anxiety. It doesn’t cost anything - it is free to practice, and even though it feels utterly ridiculous, stupid, and silly, this simple daily practice helps a lot of people. This is no substitute for real professional help - it’s just something you can do by yourself that might help you be a happier, less anxious and less worried, you.
If you are depressed, then getting professional help is really important. If you’re not depressed, you’re almost certainly diagnosable just from the behavior you’ve exhibited on this site. So see a professional.
