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 ❤️
I’ve grown weirdly Zen about this shit.
I’ve just accepted I don’t have any real control over anything and what happens happens. I’m just trying to enjoy myself, been playing a lot of Stardew and drinking wine, rewatching old BOTW episodes I like, taking naps.
If something happens I’ll either adapt or die, if nothing happens hopefully I’ll be able to keep chugging along.
I’ve had more free time and I just check news sites and hex news all the time. Is stardew worth playing? I want new hobbies
Stardew’s pretty relaxing and it’s nice to have a game with a mix of short-term and long-term goals because it feels good to accomplish stuff in it.
For you at least, for me the time limits and my own inner perfectionist making me reset over and over again in persuit of the perfect day makes it very stressful for me
Never made it past year 1, still love the game
Thanks might check it out. I’ll see if I can pirate
stardew is either relaxing or incredibly stressful depending on how you play games, the time limits are evil
Yeah it’s pretty good. There’s a lot of good cheaper indie games on Steam.
