Anxiety about the future bc of armageddon teachings

I've had depression and anxiety for most of my life, and now that I'm pretty much completely out of the religion, I'm trying to fully focus on myself and my mental health.

But every time I manage to build up some hope and see a future for myself, the insane amount of anxiety about "the end that's fast approaching" tears me down again.

What also makes it worse is whenever I'm trying to vent to my parents about bad stuff happening in the world, I almost always get the response "luckily Jehovah will put an end to all this soon." Which immediately makes me spiral again.

I don't know what to do anymore. It seems impossible to get better or battle my depression cause it doesn't matter if I want to live or build a future for myself since it will all end soon.

How to get a noisy bird to be more quiet?

Hi, I have a little over 2 years old green cheecked conure that (obviously) loves to be noisy and screams mostly whenever I'm home but not near him/in his sight. (also only ever during the day, he's completely quiet at night)

He's been like this for I think a little over half a year now, and while I don't have a huge issue with it and imagine it will calm down a little bit once he's older, a neighbour has been complaining a lot about the noise for about a month now, and since we've had to get rid of noisy pets before because of him (this happened after I'd already had my bird for a while) I've been very stressed bc my bird doesnt stop being loud no matter what I try.

If anyone has any tips or advice I'd appreciate it so much,, I just don't know what to anymore do atm.

Also bird tax here's my litte guy
