I am extremely fatigued with the constant negativity

Same thing you do when anything else is fatigued, you rest. Take a break from all that stuff. You are not the savior of the world and everything will not fall apart because you stopped paying attention for a little while.

I'm sure you've had other hobbies, get back into those. Play some games, watch some movies, read a book (not about those topics), get some exercise if you aren't already. If it creeps up in the back of your mind to go look at the news or whatever, that's fine just ignore it, it'll go away. Do stuff so that you're enjoying your time and wanting more of it rather than just waiting for the day to end.

Touch grass. Leave your phone home and go outside and enjoy nature. Go on a hike. Stop reading the news, any news, for a while, you will be fine.

I hug someone when I have someone, or a pillow or something

Genuinely one of the only things that takes my mind off how horrible this world is

I know it really doesn't help, but remember that this is how they want you to feel

Gotta find your way back to this vibe. There's a lot of good out there, a lot to be grateful for. And on a long term timescale the world is in many ways better than ever before on important stuff like infant mortality.

For me: it's the total loss of faith in humanity.

Even the political views I used to associate with "the good people" - now I see their proponents as maniputive, self-serving, bullies.

So there's no cause to support anymore: no good or evil. No point supporting the needy: because they're terrible people just like everyone else - I'll only be supporting their selfishness and the suffering they will create.

So all I'm left with is: getting from this moment of time until the time of my death as easily as possible.

Get off the internet. Truly. When it gets to be too much, put your device away and do something else. My go-tos, I either cook something, play music or go for a walk.

I feel like Lemmy is like 90% snide remarks or sarcastic comments, not exactly upbeat here either. Depends on your subreddits (sublemmies?) of course

Honestly nothing brings me back down to earth and resets (almost) all my stress and worries like spending time in a forest

Trees are awesome they deserve so much more respect, theyve been around for so much longer than us just chilling making oxygen and a habitat

Spotting wildlife is also entertaining

The sound is critical for me, pure nature noises, no human geberated crap like cars or yelling or construction or whatever

Get off social media and avoid the negative people in your life as much as you can for a bit. Read some books. Play a chill video game. Make something. Just get away from it for a while so you can re-center yourself.

Things are bad and we should be worried about them but there's only so much any of us can do about it. If you don't take care of yourself and your mental health you're not going to be able to do good for anyone else when the time comes.

Anything outdoors. I like mountain biking and gardening, but you do you.

A couple things:
- Use keyword and community filters in Lemmy to clean up what's presented to you.
- Use the "Not Interested" and "Don't Recommend Channel" options in Youtube to cull the trash from your algorithm feed.

It will make your life so much more peaceful. Don't let the algos just blast their firehose of shit at you. Tap your own stream of customized content by interacting with these tools instead.

Hell ye

Breaks are important. I think it's good being interested in politics but too much can be exhausting.
What I do is take a long walk preferably in nature.
Music is a great outlet as well. And even though I think that you might not feel like doing sports, since I know that kind of fatigue you write about, I believe that this would help, too. And sometimes it's sleep.

I encounter negativity when discussing politics online. Somehow quite a few people get insulting and expect me to change my view after. It's irritating and hinders my will to be open minded when discussions are tinted with insults.

Anyway, I hope you find the things your mind needs to recover.

You can start by trying to stare at this painting for 10 minutes, and tell me what you experience.
