Particularly - America.
I personally have found that, I live in the past to cope. Nostalgia is my drug. It sometimes doesn’t help because all it does is that it makes me yearn and beg for things to be back to where things were. Because it warps my mind into opening time capsules whenever I watch an old show or listen to an episode of some niche radio show that long stopped producing new material.
However, it helps because, it at least reminds me that there are some things that I can revisit. If I couldn’t revisit anything, play the games I played, read the books I read, watched the movies/shows I used to, then I’d be up shit’s creek because I’d have to face the fucked up things people consider what are the ‘best that’s offered’.
I found that not caring about what happens in the world beneficial to my health. It’s a lot less burdensome when I’m not worrying about what X person is doing or what Y company is doing to their customers.
As a corollary, not doomscroling social media and news articles helps immeasurably. Seriously, stop it, it is not good for one’s health.
Spend more time doing things you enjoy.
