Introduction: Ecologic anxiety and climate distress describe psychological and emotional responses to the uncertain future of our planet amid climate change. Crisis hotlines and text-based counseling services may address mental health concerns linked to climate anxiety, yet limited research explores these responses through digital crisis text lines. This study presents results from a qualitative thematic analysis of U.S. crisis text conversations mentioning climate change by exploring emotional responses and coping resources commonly discussed.

Methods: We analyzed anonymized text data from Crisis Text Line (CTL), a free, U.S.-based digital crisis platform with over nine million conversations since 2017, focusing on a sample of texts mentioning "climate change." A comprehensive codebook was developed, incorporating predetermined and emergent codes for climate change exposures, crisis flags, emotional responses, and special topics. Using a structured, iterative thematic analysis approach that combined deductive and inductive methods, the study identified and categorized emerging themes.

Results: A total of 337 text transcripts were analyzed. Texters displayed significant emotional responses to climate change, grouped into three categories: Eco-anxious, General Climate Concern, and Fatalistic Future Outlook. Findings reveal the tangible impacts of extreme weather, the exacerbating role of media coverage, and the interaction between climate change and other life stressors. Texters used various coping strategies for climate-related distress, including social support, creative and nature-based activities, positive information, and professional resources like CTL. Counselor-recommended techniques, such as grounding exercises and journaling, also helped manage emotional well-being.

Conclusions: Themes underscore the complex nature of texters' emotional and psychological responses, varied coping mechanisms, and how climate concerns can inspire proactive environmental actions. The analysis highlights the urgent need for targeted support interventions, particularly for those with a fatalistic outlook, to address mental health challenges related intensifying climate events.

简介：生态焦虑和气候压力描述了人们对气候变化背景下地球不确定未来的心理和情感反应。危机热线和基于文本的咨询服务可能有助于解决与气候焦虑相关的心理健康问题，但通过数字危机短信平台研究这些回应的有限研究表明，需要更多探索。本研究报告了一项定性主题分析的结果，该分析探讨了美国提到气候变化的危机短信中常见的情绪反应和应对资源。

方法：我们分析了匿名文本数据，这些数据来自自2017年以来拥有超过九百万次对话的免费、基于美国的数字危机平台Crisis Text Line (CTL)，重点关注提到“气候变化”的短信样本。开发了一个全面的代码本，包括预定和新兴代码，用于气候暴露、危机标志、情绪反应和特殊话题。采用了一种结构化的迭代主题分析方法，结合了演绎和归纳的方法，识别并分类了出现的主题。

结果：共分析了337条短信文本。发送短信的人对气候变化表现出显著的情绪反应，分为三类：生态焦虑、一般气候关注和宿命未来展望。研究发现极端天气的直接影响、媒体报道的加剧作用以及气候变化与其他生活压力因素之间的相互作用。短信用户使用各种应对策略来处理与气候相关的压力，包括社会支持、创意活动和基于自然的活动、积极信息以及CTL等专业资源。咨询师推荐的技术，如接地练习和日记写作，也有助于管理情绪健康。

结论：主题强调了短信发送者的情绪和心理反应复杂性、不同的应对机制，以及气候关注如何激发主动的环保行动。分析突显了针对具有宿命论观点的人群提供专门支持干预措施的紧迫需求，以解决与日益严重的气候变化相关的心理健康挑战。
