Hi @AcidMonster55 ,

Thank you for sharing how you’ve been feeling lately with the community. You’re not alone in feeling worried about the state of the world and it’s encouraging to see you share your concerns here. I can see you care a lot about the injustices happening around you. Sometimes when we’re just trying to survive the daily disturbing events, it can leave us feeling deflated and that’s completely normal. It sounds like you’re trying your best to be productive and look after your health with exercise. Feeling guilty is very normal and human under these circumstances and can be a good motivator when trying to figure out what the next best step is for you. 

I wondered if you’ve been able to talk to a mental health professional for support or strategies when you’re feeling overwhelmed? I’ve linked some resources that might be helpful when facing bad news in the world, I hope you find these useful: How to cope with bad world news, How to cope with distressing events and bad world news, How to cope when things feel out of your control
