Fiction is society-scale exposure therapy. We create simulated crises in the form of drama. Which paradoxically helps you to live in the face of potential calamity. If you find the world scary and overwhelming, you should read more fiction. Preferably something really depressing and horrible.

I'm with you! Octavia Butler and her dystopian stories come to mind reading this. I find reading fiction also extremely important to keep our imagination sharp and vivid, fundamental qualities when dealing with an overwhelming world.
