Reflection on the ways of the past is all fine, but reality is now. Society, life has changed. Those things are gone.

Those are the symptoms. We need to understand things like:
Atmosphere carbon dioxide level rise, and its' effects.
Overpopulation based on various supply limits; Co2, food, water, energy, shelter...
The effect of modern life on humans and their psyche.
Climate change, the jet stream warble, severe weather, heat.
Potential of wars, diseases, extreme weather events
Geological events....
So we need to recognize that we puny organisms adapted to life on this spinning rock, and that our destruction is assured, the question is just one of timing.
So perhaps we need to learn to live without a mind blanking coping mechanism, or with a mind blanking coping method if that makes us feel better.
The solution could be: https://modernstoicism.com/stoicisms-ancient-and-modern-by-tony-a-a-long/
Or we could all just be thankful for what we got, and bury our head in our hands, and use a handy coping mechanism to get by with.
