Hello all you lovely people, I’m using my throwaway account for this one. Okay, so understandably the last 2 months have been some of the worst in my life anxiety-wise, and for a while after the election I kept looking at the news. Bad idea. The only stuff I saw was COVID, trump, climate change, trump, climate change, etc. I felt awful. As of a few days ago I decided to just stop looking at r/all (since I can’t control what I’ll accidentally read on it, I might see a triggering news article) and r/politics. I’ve been quite cheerful and relaxed the last few days as a result. Instead of doomscrolling I read cheesy romance novels and I was happy. Then not 10 minutes ago my curiosity got the better of me and I went on r/politics and I immediately see an article about climate change and then trump doing something with the Pentagon. Why do I do this to myself? I’m feeling depressed again and I’m more angry at myself than anything else. I’ve been trying to look on r/upliftingnews but... yeah. Is there anything that’s happened in the news recently that cheered any of you up? I recently saw a nice article that said the UN goals for climate change are in reach. That was comforting, a little.
