Not sure if it applies to you, but weed is bad for your memory.
I don't use weed, any type of illegal drugs, alcohol, or tobacco or vape. But um... recently I've been eating take-out food from a Chinese restaurant and I drink a lot of soda. I'm feeling depressed af and just wanted to "live" a bit before the world gets fucked by climate change. Also, as an American, the 2024 election seems terrifying, some fascist might win again after the failed insurrection/auto-coup attempt in January 6 2021. Kinda feeling hopeless for the future.
Hey man, I'm not a professional at all, but maybe you should stay off social media for a bit (1-2 weeks) and just enjoy life without worrying about the climate, politics, news, etc. They heavily impacted my mental health, but once I took a good long break, started working out more, went on hikes on occasion, went outside and read in the nature, etc. You can also go and hang out with friends / partner more often (if you do not already live with them)
Social media itself is a constant negative loop (for better or for worse) and you need breaks sometimes. Hope you can get out of this hell hole, my friend.
