RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I think Lemmy, Reddit and all the rest are making me angry, depressed and hopeless (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

It's just, too much, so much bad and evil happening and I can't take it, nor can I look away.

I use these platforms to distract from the gnawing constant loneliness I feel that never goes away.

I can't spend more than 5 minutes without a video playing or checking some kind of media to fill the void.

I'm feeling so suicidal nowadays, but I'm stuck in this existence for the time being.

Im not sure humans were designed to know every horrible thing thats is happening everyday, all day, all over the world.

Youre knowing about it cant really change it from happening, can it?

Let yourself rest from the strife

Yeah, I'll start working on a blocklist here, but it's just everywhere online, places where it's shoved down your throat.

No yeah it is everywhere. My partner watched the Knicks basketball game last night... and like, I went to bed so I didnt have to hear the google AI commercial that literally just walked you through its answering of basketball questions. I wanted to vomit so I went to bed.

My favorite cope is walking away. I do wish you could find a way into nature, and to find meaning in nature. Everyone is different obvs. but this has been so helpful for me in grounding me from the horrors of humanity. Id be dead without the trees and wildlife, always there, to ground me.
