Hey Comrades,
With the current state of the world and general increase in negative feelings and emotions as a result of the current state of affairs, I wanted to start a community weekly vent post.
This will be for anything you need to talk about related to your mental health that is bothering you. If you feel overwhelmed, angry, scared, depressed, anxious, anything, write what you’re feeling and why below. Let’s use this as a place to help each other get through this awful shite.
I guess I’ll start
Today I woke up early because of my neighbor being loud, I couldn’t get back to sleep so I went on Telegram, I doom scrolled for about two hours through every group I’m in and literally all of them were filled with talks of nuclear war, impending ww3, fascist groups gaining strength and attacking minorities, etc.
Was a really garbage start of my day and now my anxiety is through the roof.
Plus, on top of that I just found out I am going to be out of work in two months and, essentially that is because I did my job too well and made myself obsolete. I have been incredibly fortunate with this job and it has allowed me to travel all over Asia and connect with my Chinese side of the family. Everything will be in Flux and I am worried I am not going to be able see my friends and family in China and Vietnam going forward.
For the first one try to find like an app that will limit usage of specific apps per hour? Like maybe don’t use stuff that’s very doomery first in the morning idk?
