Yeah, the world goes through cycles of sucking. It's not all one problem. It's just a bunch of problems piling on at the same time over the last few years. Most of it boils down to economics.

You can still be yourself and make the world a better place for others. Just because some people have problems doesn't mean you have to emulate their bad behavior. The golden rule still applies and lots of people are still looking out for each other. If you run into problems, get involved with your community to try to solve them.

Instead of focusing on all of the external problems around you, focus on how you're processing them. It's okay to get therapy if it seems like overload. It's also okay to just not do anything for a weekend so you can de-stress and relax.

Try tuning out from all of the noise for a little bit. There's probably some internet/news withdrawal at first but after you stop worrying about everything, it's easier to see what's directly affecting you.

Prioritize fun stuff like finding a good book and making some tea. Go hang out with friends and have an adventure. Be unproductive for a while. Do weird things. Take an art class or find a community group. Life is happier when you're in a positive community and having fun. Most people are still good.
