It is so upsetting. I sometimes take a break from media where the news comes up a lot, and instead focus on spending my time in a way that enriches my life, or a friend’s. Because making even just one person’s life better is more helpful than just “being aware” of bad things while not doing anything about them.

I do think it’s ideal to do something about the state of the world, but to do that effectively takes an understanding of when you’re actually learning about current events AND working towards a goal - as opposed to just being buffeted by headlines as you scroll by.
