In my head they are very normalburger if that makes sense. They think Trump can stop the war enough to affect the market, right?

    I’ve noticed that stress is beginning to show in society. When you order groceries, much of the order is wrong. People are using employee assistance programs in certain cases for stress related issues. Many of my friends can’t stand to watch the news. I’m fucked in the head from doom scrolling. I know a person who had a party recently and said the only thing she wanted for her bday was for nobody to bring up politics. It’s awful honestly and I’m crashing out. My health is impacted. Like, a lot.

    It’s invalidating that some don’t see all this.

      Delete social media, seriously, it’s a cancer that eats your soul.

      I deleted every social media outside of Lemmy and my mental health drastically improved. I only pick up my phone to message my spouse or friends to make plans.

      Disconnect from the race, your brain will thank you.

        I got off everything other than Lemmy after Trump won. It definitely has helped, but we’re not deleting Facebook or deGoogling our way out of world collapse. …well, at least short term anyway. Most people I know cannot even connect their everyday habits with the consequences they experience.

          From pedantic to pedantic, yeah it is social media but is it not predatory like every commercial social media (meta, tiktok, twitter)

          I would dare to say doomscrolling in lemmy is impossible
