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.

Get off all social media you can

This means Lemmy and the greater Fediverse too. It's nice being part of a network of people that share similar views on things but damn this place can be depressing. Kind of just a byproduct from the state of the world but humans weren't designed to be aware of every horrible thing happening on this planet

    It's better if you limit your feed to subscribed communities. Not perfect, but without that it's like a hundred negativities per minute.

    You can also set up word filters in a lot of the Lemmy apps. Filtering words like Trump for example will remove a lot of negative content from your feed, especially since people are bad to post about him in specifically non-political communities.
