I wish I could read BlueSky and see what my friends are up to without a constant barrage about how terrible everything is at all times.

I've literally had to start unfollowing some people over this for my own mental health. It's fine for people to feel some despair. What I feel I've been seeing is way too much for me to reasonably take without getting very upset.

Yeah. It's just too much. It's everywhere I turn and I don't have this as an escape anymore and feel disconnected with people because of it.

My mental health *cannot* take this and the isolation hits it hard too.

There are a bunch of people I have muted who I'd really rather hear from, but they also post news... and they're not even wrong to do so, but I have to be in the right mindset for that

Yeah - like. I know I can't just live in a bubble and generally it's good to know what's going on. But it can't be like that *all* the time. The right mindset is right.

I've opted to mute a lot of words, phrases, and names for that very reason.

That's why I do 99% of my time on here scrolling through a custom feed that doesn't show any reposts (which ive found is where most of the bad news lives)

Oh gosh thank you. I'll give this a swing.
