I felt similar things. Therapy helped me a lot.
I got the following from "Zen and the art of saving the planet" by thich nhat hanh. It helped me, perhaps it helps you too. I recommend the book, but please give therapy a shot. You're not broken, but it's important to get a good perspective on the situation. That can help you shift from feeling overwhelmed and helpless to feeling empowered and inspired to help (in whatever way works best for you).
The tnh part:
Realize that in nature everything has a beginning and an end. Even things we consider to be permanent/static. The grand canyon wasn't always there. It was formed, and it will not last forever.
The same applies to our society and to humanity in general. Reflect on that.
If humanity ceases to exist in its current form, perhaps it will make place for something better.
