    I no longer actively watch news, helps immensely.

    And I incidentally got involved in a small local community group recently, helps keeping me grounded by reminding me that local happenings are important too, and it also gives much quicker results when it comes to any kind of activism.

      Yeah same. I find I mentally do a lot better by improving things I can change rather than stressing over things I can’t.

      Volunteering locally and not watching the news has helped me immensely with my ennui and depressive nihilism.

    It’s not stupid. Perpetual despondence can kill you as surely as a bullet.
