Either we all die or we don't[1], either way there's nothing you can do. I'm sure there's things you can be worried about that you can actually affect.

That’s not quite true! If you live, a little prep will go a long way.

Have an emergency kit (see ready.gov for a good checklist). If you survive, such a kit will help significantly in the immediate aftermath.

It’s also a useful kit for a wide array of (more likely) natural disasters.

After you’ve put together your kit, then I agree. You’ve done your prep, nothing else you can control about it, so don’t stress too much about it.

I have no interest in living after society breaks down.

Not every disaster will involve the break down of society. It's entirely possible that a nuclear strike won't end all life on earth.

I personally wouldn't be so quick to give up, but to each their own.
