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.

    part of this is from so many users fallen to ragebait chasing the addiction of revenge by finding constant new ways to degrade the enemy. i try to do my part a bit by posting uplifting news once in a while but it’s so hard not to be surrounded by unnecessary negativity on lemmy. yes things are bad, no that does not give you the right to do the easy thing and make everyone feel really pitchforks about cosmetics over it.

    what’s something you can do to feel better? for some people sun exposure can help a little. literally, with or without sunscreen. doing things that happen to give you sun exposure like walking around on the streets can still give you enough of the endorphin boost.

    a short-term strategy that can be helpful at the start is journaling the things you feel gratitude about. at your own pace, too. go big or go home is a bit of a lie for building habits

      i used to love volunteering.

      but then the ragebait addicts just kept turning our volunteer work into ‘we have to fight the bad people and only help the good people’ and wanted us to like turn peopel away based on skin color/sex at the door… and saw absolutely nothing wrong with it.
