With the escalation in Gaza and West Bank on top of the incident I’m going to limit how much I spend on telegram, lemmy, etc. because I can get massively hyperfocussed on this shit. Feels a lot like when the Ukraine Russia war heated up and I was stuck to my phone 8 hours a day.
I’m lucky enough to have started my meds recently which are absolutely eviscerating my anxiety, but others aren’t so lucky.
Maybe delete a couple of apps and limit your exposure for a couple of days so even if you DO doomscroll it’s less paralysing.
The new world struggles to be born ❤️
Of course if it helps to keep on top of news then find ways that are healthier than apps designed to sap our attention. I’ll keep lemmy but shit like telegram and bluesky etc. are way easier to get sucked into.
