The current world situation and what is to come is doing a number on my mental health, along with obvious and not so obvious personal things going on. I’m in dire need of essays/readings/podcasts/videos what ever to help me find some hope and optimism in these times. I really don’t want to fall into depression and apathy again, it sucks.
Edit: I went for a hike and feel better :D
Someone had posted this video about Cuba’s new breakthrough treatment for Alzheimer’s a while back. It’s just one example of the fact that AES countries continue to move humanity forward in the right direction, and will continue to do so, regardless of the backwardness of capitalist/imperialist countries and their atrocities. It’s important to remember that there are good things happening in the world, even if it doesn’t feel like it a lot of the time.
That being said, I agree with what others have suggested about logging off. To maintain our mental health and stamina for a prolonged revolutionary struggle, we need to have some other hobbies that aren’t directly related to news/politics.
