Apocophilia 

An attraction to, or taking pleasure in, end-of-society scenarios, such as global nuclear war, or worst-case peak-oil or global-warming.

Often leads to what others would regard as a 'pessimistic' world view, however Apocophiliacs often identify with an 'up-side' to the total destruction of mostly everything. Proof of irrationality can often be found in a belief that they will survive the impending apocolyse themselves.
I used to hang at peakoil.com, but the place is swamped with apocophilic doomers.

I'm really worried about global warming, but sometimes I worry that I might just have a tendency for apocophilia.

You're such an apocophile. I figure either we'll both be dead, or I'll be laughing. Win or draw to me then.

apocolepsy 

A rare form of temporal lobe epilepsy, resulting in split personality disorder. The result, rather than a seizure, switches off most of the brain allowing only the parts responsible for anger and rage to function. This produces a pile of dead muthafukka's and a perpetrator who knows nothing of the incident.
