When I notice my anxiety level increasing I need to take a break. I think it's good to stay informed but I agree, it's not healthy. Maybe we need to bring more positive news to lemmy. I also created a mental health support community.

I'd love to see more positive news/posts on lemmy. There ARE good, even great things happening out there that never quite seem to get the attention they deserve. You'd be surprised at what a difference a little positivity will make in one's life.
