How to fight **
** climate alert
◆ After reading the title article on eco-alarming and the article by Rebecca Solnit (International 1526), I feel less alone. It is good to know that I am not the only one suffering from climate anxiety and that there are specialized people and publications abroad who can help me deal with this. I have suffered from environmental anxiety for many years now, but the discomfort intensified after the birth of my children. When I got sick, one of the things that made me suffer the most was the feeling that I was the only one worried, and I didn’t understand why no one protested and took to the streets (or threw Gioconda). None of the psychotherapists and psychiatrists I consulted had ever dealt with cases of climate anxiety or referred me to a more knowledgeable colleague. Nobody knew how to treat me in a relationship
Given the specifics of my anxiety, indeed, someone contributed to making me feel even crazier by emphasizing the exceptional nature of my case. Over the next few years, I participated in organizing marches and demonstrations and at least realized that I was not alone, although until recently I never knew anyone who had symptoms similar to mine. I am afraid that in Italy psychiatry and psychotherapy are still not enough to treat climate anxiety and I believe that until there is a trained staff, other people, like me, will suffer in silence.

The Art of Apologizing
◆ I read with interest an article by Arthur Brooks on the art of apology (internazionale.it). Although some of the passages are a bit difficult, I found them meaningful and
I want my teens to read it so they can reflect on a fundamental “attitude” about their height.

old age
◆ I really enjoyed reading Barbara Leda Kenny’s article on new models of coexistence for single older women (essenziale.it). I am 55 years old and have been planning to do dormitory of this type, for me and for anyone who needs it.

Economics of Beyoncé and Taylor Swift
◆ I find it difficult to accept the definition of “cultural phenomenon” in relation to singers Beyoncé and Taylor Swift (International 1527). I consider it pure entertainment.
