I don’t need to do either of those it’s being aware of what’s happening and what’s been done to get here, this is stuff you learn not watch on ig or TikTok

If it’s genuinely causing you this much mental strife its okay to step back and wean off politics and global happenings. There isn’t a medal for getting more depressed

yeah they’re vicariously cheering on the harm of others and themselves and eventually it will come to bite them. it’s more like being on morphine, ie the pain is there but you’re deluded.

information doesn’t mean anything if you don’t act on it if you can’t turn your despair into action then despair isn’t serving you

That’s what despairs me is that my actions alone would be branded bad especially as protesting can get you shot and labeled a domestic terrorist. Protests alone won’t fix anything but everybody feels like they have too much to lose so any sort of movement would be ineffective and could just further the problem

I truly wish I could act on my despair but it would be with no real ends

acting can mean congregating with people who agree with you. go to a community event or volunteer with a charity. resistance can be quiet

Trust its ok to step back. Use class to distract yourself. Delete your socials. You will be able to breathe again. Doom scrolling will just siphon your energy and that helps nobody. Join a protest at your school or city. There are things you can do to help.

It’s literally the classes that make me feel like this and I have been involved in my community volunteering and stuff like that for years it’s just that it’s obvious that it’s not enough
