Maybe doomscrolling is reading too many news for you? Or do you think it's not too excessive?

When I’m doom scrolling it’s almost exclusively news. I’m not all that interested in short videos, social media, or other scrollable things. News is my weakness. Last month I was pretty bad about reading news about the USA. I’ve mostly recovered. It’s easy to convince yourself it matters (especially compared to watching shorts) but the reality is that for me, it’s bordering irrelevant. I live in Canada. There’s nothing I can do about the USA. Just focus on what’s here and now.
