I had a similar experience, though this was before I became aware of AI x-risks, and it was related to the risk of nuclear war. I was constantly checking the news, constantly vigilant for any sounds resembling an airstrike alarm, was constantly checking the window during partly cloudy days, etc. The way I dealt with it was basically by accepting death, and then, when I learned of AI x-risks, this wasn’t that much of a hit.
