You yourself admit to suffering from depression. This makes is deeply unlikely if not impossible to sustain a long-term optimistic worldview. We, as a species, have some really nasty challenges coming up. Mostly due to our own hubris. However one thing that the ever-accelerating pace of human technological development has shown is that we are an adaptable and resourceful species. I honestly do not believe that there is any circumstance short of a full-scale global extinction of anything larger than a cockroach that would end the human race. Take a deep breath, and remind yourself of one solid truth: you can't save the world. What you can do is live the best life you can, by whatever values you honor, and do what you're able to make the lives of those around you better in whatever small way you're capable of. If we all give the tiniest of shits about doing that, it'll be a net positive for the world. To use the US as an example, consider that we as a country haven't existed for 250 years yet. That's a blink of an eye in terms of human history, but look at all the social progress that has been made in that time, and then again in the last 100, or 50 years. poo poo sucks in a lot of ways, and is trying to regress right now, but overall the tide has been coming in and this is the last gasp of a dying breed.
