We don't notice the progress because it's everywhere. We notice the terrible stuff because of cognitive biases, which is fair. But doomerism is a dangerous and slippery slope.
Practice intentional, conscious, stubborn optimism.
Pick a lane and take some action.
Build hope strategically. You can make a difference, which will change the way you think and feel, which will make you even more effective in your actions, which will continue to spiral upward until you realize you have made a huge difference and things were never doomed.
