I would never suggest this out of the blue, but since you are asking: I recommend therapy. The Netflix comment is what makes me say this, as well as the “state of the world”. Most psychiatrists do online sessions now, and the first one tends to be free. I recommend trying 2 or 3 first sessions, and choosing one.
Depending on the diagnosis, eventually they might tell you to contact a psychiatrist to try some drugs. In my case, that helped. That’ll take time though. The therapist will probably start with the basics: sleep, food, social interaction, family, couple, exercise.
WRT the state of the world: you first have to accept that you are not going to be able to fix the whole world on your own. The cpu cycles you spend thinking about that is wasted energy. Concentrate on what you can do. That depends on your circumstances and your motivation. Donate money to charities or political parties. Teach children in the local school. Plant threes. Investigate and write to motivate others. Whatever you think will improve things.
Then (very important, but also difficult) transform those thoughts into action - don’t just them just fester inside your head. Take a piece of paper and a calendar and make a plan, and commit to it.
Also, beware that there’ll be setbacks and problems. Don’t be hard on yourself when those arrive. It’s part of the process.
Good luck!
