It's sometimes easy to get really scared of things you haven't thought all the way through. What _specifically_ are you scared of? Do you have reason to be scared of consequences of global warming that will be deadly in your generation? Are you scared about some kind of disastrous societal collapse greater than the World Wars, French Revolution or the collapse of the USSR? Are you afraid of not being able to enjoy some of your current luxuries, or are you afraid of you and your family dying? If you don't really analyse these things, it can become easy to only think a slightly bad thing is likely, but feel the fear of some catastrophic impossible worst-case scenario happening, just because you haven't disentangled the two. Also, I don't agree with your money-centric analysis. It's great that you're saving up all this money, but money is also transitory, and the things you're investing your savings in might collapse. It sounds like you instead have something much more valuable. Based on your salary, you probably have skills valued by society and are a hard worker. This probably means that even if you had $0 in the bank and had to start from scratch, you'd manage. Therapy will help with these things. If it does, perfect. If you go and it doesn't, you can just stop going. You can definitely afford it. Good luck! :) Edit: Oh, and stop reading the news and focus on your work. It's obviously incredibly easy to get a doomsday perspective by reading about all the bad things happening all the time. This does not mean only bad things happen, plenty of good things do as well.
