how to stop doomscrolling
It's not that I thought 2021 would bring a hard reset to the pandemic or hundreds of years of systemic racism—I’m cheerful, not stupid—but I did think we’d get a week in before an attempt to overthrow the government. Anyway, welcome to Doomtown. Population: all of us. This is a place in time where no one can figure out how to stop doomscrolling.
It’s important to stay informed, alert, and up-to-date, especially in a state of emergency. But doomscrolling (the tendency to endlessly scroll through terrible news on social media or news sites) feeds the debilitating mental health monsters of anxiety and depression, with a side order of paralyzing hopelessness. Superficially, it's simply not proactive or productive when it comes to taking care of yourself or others. Knowing how to stop doomscrolling when it gets out of control is a major way to stay fit enough for the fight.
