I am so fatigued with so much negativity that happens in the world and in my personal life as well. I have become numb to the topics I used to care such as politics, equal rights, environment and so on: I just want my day to end and that’s it. I don’t think I’m depressed tho (I used to and I know what it is like).

I don’t know what to do. What would you suggest doing? Thank you.

    Also start a physical hobby if you can. Exercise, besides the mental benefits, is going to be a more powerful distraction than anything intellectually adjacent IMO.

      Ideally, outside, in nature. This too has been shown to have mental health benefits. Go walk in the woods.

        Honestly nothing brings me back down to earth and resets (almost) all my stress and worries like spending time in a forest

        Trees are awesome they deserve so much more respect, theyve been around for so much longer than us just chilling making oxygen and a habitat

        Spotting wildlife is also entertaining

        The sound is critical for me, pure nature noises, no human geberated crap like cars or yelling or construction or whatever

          Nature is extremely unhurried which is so radically opposite of almost every aspect of modern life that it’s like finally get a breath of air to be able to immerse yourself in a setting that isn’t manically trying to get your attention.

      I taught myself a few knots! Took a few tries, but now I can tie a monkey’s fist without screwing it up too badly. Gives me something to do with my hands for a while, and I can give them away as gifts.
