can't bear to think about (something)

Unable or unwilling to think about or discuss a topic or situation because it is too stressful, overwhelming, or upsetting. I've got two essays due on Monday and an exam on Tuesday—I can't bear to think about it! I can't bear to think about the number of people living in extreme poverty every single day.
