Definitely can be rough to deal with one's own stressful life happenings on top of all the bs and darkness in today's society. Trying to frequently remind myself to sort of channel my passion and worries about the world into my own sphere and areas of my life I can actually control. But you spend the amount of time on the internet I do, and you really get a front row seat of the general ugliness of humanity, can overwhelm me at times. Can make you a tad nihilistic. 

It pays to just unplug for some time, even if that means just sitting outside with some tea or taking a walk to enjoy nature, kinda get closer to the land and readjust to what's real. As cheesy as it sounds it does usually work for me. Sometimes it's just a matter of visiting an old friend and shooting the breeze for a bit, reading a book or getting immersed in a new film, just to distract yourself from looking at your phone or plugging back into the crazy information overload of the internet.

I tend to have an addictive personality so I can sort of tumble down the rabbit hole of a message forum or comment secetion of a topic that piques my interest for hours on end. Really hard for me to break from these distractions.
