๐โจ World Mental Health Day: Tips to Manage Doomscrolling โจ๐
This mental health day, letโs talk about doomscrolling. In these challenging times, even if weโre not directly impacted by events, the constant stream of distressing news can feel overwhelming.
It's easier than ever to stay updated with the latest news via smartphones and social media. However, this accessibility can lead to "doomscrolling," where we find ourselves endlessly scrolling through negative news. While staying informed is valuable, excessive exposure to distressing content can impact our mental health, leading to increased anxiety and feelings of sadness.
Take a look at our post for some tips to help manage doomscrolling from the Mental Health Foundation. Let's work together to create a healthier relationship with the information we consume.
Taking steps to protect your mental wellbeing is crucial, especially in uncertain times. Itโs important to remember that asking for help is a sign of strength.
