T.W.: Anxiety, conspiracy theories 



I have a love/hate relationship with Reddit, I love to follow subs about bands and tv shows I enjoy, the community there is always nice and it makes me feel less lonely, but I hate how I keep falling on these rabbit holes of things that get me anxious and scared like conspiracy theories and such.




Just today I was feeling great in the morning and then I looked the popular tab on reddit and there was a post in r/superstonks literally called "We're All Fucked" with like 500 awards talking about how we're supposedly heading into a stock market crash and economic collapse soon, and I know I shouldn't but I can't help but looking into it and feeling super overwhelmed, basically it ended up ruining my entire day...last week was the same thing with those UFO reports posts trending, I just hate how everyone commenting on these kind of posts always act so sure and pessimistic about everything, even if rationally I know they're full of shit my mind be like "but what if it's true?" and I can't think about anything else for hours.




These things keep building up in my mind and staying there, COVID conspiracies, The Great Reset stories, UFO's and all these scary things stay in my head constantly making me feel like I'm living in terrifying times and there's really no point in trying to do anything with my life cause any day now some major shit will happen and fuck us all over...I know it's all in my head tho, and that's why I'm considering leaving Reddit for good to get away from this kind of stuff. 



Can anyone relate with this at all and have any tips on how to cope with this kind of stuff? I would love some help right now, thanks everyone
