There is no escape

Leaving your phone far away enough from your bed is the best advice that I wish I'd follow myself.

But then I just bring it to there, and then back when I finally go to sleep

Nowadays I'm specifically looking for upsetting things.
Specifically, in the hopes that I find someone in a comment with issues similar to mine, to read their story and their feelings, and see their take on it. I don't have anyone to share mine with, but when I find someone like that, it feels as if I would.

Doomscrolling or seeking out bad news is really bad for your health. https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/what-is-doomscrolling-and-why-is-it-bad-for-us/143139/
If you feel the (understandable) need to share your issues with others there are much healthier was to do this. Bad news is literally addictive and it is important to break that habit https://www.fastcompany.com/90269566/how-to-stop-your-brains-addiction-to-bad-news
If you still find it necessary to scroll bad news, maybe offset by ending with some positive news as well? https://www.groovnow.com/blog/where-to-find-good-news-online
It's important to try and stay happy, friend, now more than ever.
- Thanks. For me it's not really bad news, though, that just happens to be there and a lot of times I don't read it. Instead it's mostly for posts and topics that are personal to the users.
- I stopped looking at Lemmy for a long time, up until yesterday, due to the content being really depressing. Reddit didn't hate society, capitalism, or really everything as much as the Lemmy users seem to. I might stop doomscrolling here again.

The Internet: maybe a quick game?

A little bit of everything all of the time.

Apathy's a tragedy and boredom is a crime!

Exhibit A: All on Lemmy

The trick is to know it all.

I've outread the internet, there's nothing shocking anymore...

More like complete lack of self control
