With the escalation in Gaza and West Bank on top of the incident I’m going to limit how much I spend on telegram, lemmy, etc. because I can get massively hyperfocussed on this shit. Feels a lot like when the Ukraine Russia war heated up and I was stuck to my phone 8 hours a day.

I’m lucky enough to have started my meds recently which are absolutely eviscerating my anxiety, but others aren’t so lucky.

Maybe delete a couple of apps and limit your exposure for a couple of days so even if you DO doomscroll it’s less paralysing.

The new world struggles to be born ❤️

    Was it /r/newiran? That sub is insane.

    I’ve not really spoken to my family but I knew some family in the US who are pro iran getting bombed so they can “sar bezanan” when it’s all done. I hate it so much.
