Some things that helped me:
My therapist also says 2 things - 1) if it's too big of a problem, break it down to manageable things. 2) if it's too big that you can't do anything about, then it's better to focus your attention on things you can change.
Also, the world was always shit, and waaayyy worse. We're just blasted by how bad it is 24/7.
Volunteering in person has brought me so much joy these last 2 years.
The news almost exclusively tells us about the bad people in the world. But there are a ton of good people out there undoing the stuff the baddies are doing. I get to actively make a cause I care about that much more successful, and I'm around a bunch of other people with that same passion and care and concerns as me.
You can pick something political if you want to be that kind of change, but I picked an activity for the local environment, I'm a wildlife rehab volunteer. Being surrounded by cute animals and awesome people one day a week is a real boost for me.
Truly! The highly tailored 24 hours news cycle of hyper sensationalism is atrocious.
And so happy that you volunteer for rehabilitation! The animals always need allies. I'm now following Superbowl! :)
Glad to have you aboard!
Nearly every animal that comes in is there because of something a human did. Someone has to be looking out for them!
Sharing your joy on !Superbowl@lemmy.world brings me joy too, so thanks for that.
It's the gift that keeps giving 😁
It happens to me all the time and I have to take a break from everything for a month or two to reset. This diagram, and others like it, is a way to change your focus.
Oh that's interesting. I'll save it and show it to my therapist.
ask your therapist about wet bulb temps, curious how he thinks the past was way worse when shits about to be unlivable, therapists are just doing their jobs sure but the climate scientists are day drinking and skipping kids
regardless definitely not looking forward to the return of the gilded age and i’m unsure how it having been worse before makes this ok now
shits fucked yo
Lol, that last part was me, not my therapist. It doesn't make things ok now nor did I ever say so, it was in response to OP saying that things are looking worse than ever with right-wing governments etc.
But xenophobia, racism, sexism, conservativism, and overall fascism (all the shitty isms) was the norm and by far the majority - it's considered extreme these days for a reason.
