Anyone else stuck in a doom loop?

[(Anonymous)]

I managed to stay offline most of the day but I came to check FS and a few other places and have found myself in a doomscroll loop about Minnesota (and the world in general) and my heartrate is going crazy and I am so upset and I hate that I get stuck and do this to myself.

Gonna force myself to sign off in a minute. Just needed to vent because I am just so full of emotions right now and had nowhere for them to go.

Yes, same here. I've been stuck in that for awhile now. Everything is getting worse, all the time. With the world as a whole but also in my personal life/with my family/my job/everything. I can't get out of the doom loop, it's horrible, I'm so tired of it all. I just want something good to happen for once.

Therapy, a trusted friend, a trusted family member. Journal. Meditate. Exercise. Pet a furry friend. Whatever you need to do to get it out.

I read a quote on the internet - okay, well paraphrased, they basically said it's not the end, it's just that a lot of people's bubbles got popped. That the reality we witnessed this last week is a reality that other groups of people have been living for many years. It's just that this is the first time that those typically unaware of such things are now having it happen to them.

Heather Cox Richardson (historian, political) said a couple weeks ago that things are going to get uglier... which isn't a surprise if you've been paying attention even somewhat this last year. She predicts that all of this will come to a head around May of this year, when she believes one of two things will happen. Either we get fully dragged into this fascist dictatorship, or Americans collectively get so fucking pissed off that we push back and start stamping this shit out. Well, there has been some pushback for a while, but there definitely needs to be more.

(ignore this paragraph if not American) I recommend reaching out to a grassroots organization and getting connected. If you can't be on the front lines, that's fine. Just find some way to contribute, even if that's just making signs for others to carry, or watching someone's kids while they're at a protest. Donating a few bucks to the ACLU or 50501 or Indivisible. They say the antidote to anxiety is action. Granted that's easier said than done, so do what you can.

frrr. my nervous system is already through the roof and anything I hear about America is making my blood pressure spike. I've been working on strategies to calm my anxiety but this is too much, man.

I've been in and out of doom loops since the first time that shithole was elected. What kinda helps me snap out of the loop is doing something useful. Donating a little money. Volunteering at the library. Surprising my coworkers with something I baked. Writing to my representative. I can't do anything about the large, looming issues that scare the shit out of me, so I try to do small things that are within my control. Oh, and I set a timer on my phone so it turns off to keep my from doomscrolling all day.
