I went to therapy for almost this exact reason. I will tell you what my therapist told me. Just because these terrible things are happening, doesn't mean you can't have meaning and joy in your life. It can be hard to feel grateful, it can be hard to feel happy, during such times, but it's possible. I would suggest reaching out to a professional if you can afford it.
Meh, therapists are paid to say that shit. Reality is objectively awful in so many ways. I agree you can choose to ignore it and be happy if you want, but it's also perfectly rational to look at the train wreck and feel anxious.
