    I actually had this issue months ago, I kept seeing everything on Instagram regarding a particular major problem. Seeing the deaths of innocents and the governments cheering it on just made me angry, moody, anxious and an immense hate towards humanity in general.

    I was also jobless in these months (glad got work now) and that made it worse.

    Eventually I heavily restricted myself;

    • Only 30 mins of scroll in Instagram, checking the news and such.
    • No talks about politics for at least a month.
    • Read more books to dive in.
    • Play fun games (Mario Wonder, Captain Toad Tracker, Mario kart and Catherine Full Body).

    Got a job now but I still keep most of the things I restricted myself. Despite everything, I’m in a much better mindset than before.
